KENT, Ohio — R.W. Martin, a provider of industrial laundry solutions, reports it has installed advanced radio-frequency-identification (RFID) scrub-dispensing equipment at a medical center in Los Angeles.
The company says the deployment marks a significant milestone in its mission to enhance healthcare facility operations through innovative technology.
The integration of ABG Systems’ automated scrub dispensers equipped with RFID tracking at the Los Angeles medical center streamlines the distribution and collection of medical scrubs. R.W. Martin says the system ensures that healthcare professionals have immediate access to clean apparel while maintaining strict inventory control.
Key benefits of the RFID scrub-dispensing system include:
- Enhanced Inventory Management: Real-time tracking of scrubs reduces loss and ensures availability and accountability.
- Modular Scalability: There are 72 different combinations for customizable configurations.
- Operational Efficiency: Quick and easy access to scrubs allows staff to focus more on patient care.
“Implementing RFID technology in scrub management addresses common challenges in healthcare facilities, such as inventory shortages and hygiene concerns,” says Chip Ottman, president of R.W. Martin.
“Our collaboration with the Los Angeles-located medical center exemplifies our commitment to providing solutions that enhance operational efficiency and staff satisfaction.”
R.W. Martin says its partnership with ABG Systems, a provider of RFID technology, enables the delivery of cutting-edge solutions tailored to the unique needs of healthcare environments. The White Box scrub dispenser, utilized in this installation, features a modular design that can be customized to fit various facility requirements.
In addition to scrub dispensing, R.W. Martin offers RFID textile tracking systems that provide healthcare facilities complete oversight of their linen and garment inventories.
By embedding durable RFID tags into textiles, facilities can monitor usage patterns, reduce losses and extend the lifespan of their assets, the company says.
