How Much AI is integrated into Inwatec's Installation?

Artificial intelligence has a real buzz and is making a huge difference in all kinds of industries, most notably in laundries. The automation of the soil sort area, for instance, is now taken care of by robots utilizing AI. It is the safest, most hygienic and most sustainable way to sort soiled linen – and one day soon, it will be the most common way as well. We asked Martin Jakobsgaard, software engineer at Inwatec ApS, to explain how much “real AI” is involved. But first, let us have a look at the definition of Artificial Intelligence:

“Best in class” award to Kalor G 1200 gas ironer

Feedback from a leading laundry group in Europe operating the Kalor G 1200 gas ironers reports record high performance with record low gas consumption compared to gas ironers of various brands used in a row of tests carried out by the laundry group during 2019.

Need for speed? Choose Jenrail!

In order to eliminate the risk of exposing operators in the laundries to germs from soiled hospital linen, the sorting of soiled hospital linen was prohibited in some countries decades ago. This spawned the post-sort operation requiring mixing goods to be washed together, then sorted. As a result, JENSEN invented the Jenrail conveyor system allowing operators to load unsorted, washed and clean flatwork into clamps in front of the feeder, and sort it into sorting lines before feeding it into the feeder via deloading stations.

Accelerated Production Planning with Target Monitoring

Picture this: It is the start of a busy day. Laundry is steadily coming into the facility from all different routes. Sorting operators are actively working to fill the soiled storage in the Futurail rail system. Your production plan has set targets for each product line for each day of production.

Everything seems to be moving along nicely, but do you know:

• If, or when, you will hit your production targets?

• What are your production percentages of each category?

• Where are the remaining items located within your laundry?

Creating the future in laundry automation

In order to exploit the full potential of laundry equipment, the entire material flow throughout the entire installation must be considered. Automation and material handling refer to the short-distance movement of laundry – like linen, garments and mats – within the facility, and it is a key to productivity as it ensures that there is a constant flow of goods to be processed. In a nutshell, it is about making sure that the linen is always at the right place, at the right moment to feed the high-capacity machine.

How to meet highest clinical and hygiene requirements

In medicine and everyday life settings, hygiene practices are employed as preventive measures to reduce the possibility of incidence and spreading of disease.

Gas - a hot topic

More than ten years ago, JENSEN revolutionized the laundry market by adopting a CleanTech approach. One of major resulting evolutions to the market was that gas heated industrial laundry solutions became readily available - and in many regions quite common. However, this revolution did not reach all the laundry markets of the world, and steam has continued to dominate the laundry industry in the developing laundry markets in Asia, South America, etc. This may now change, as value-engineered gas-heated solutions are offered as an alternative to high-end products.
