The future, NOW, nobody in the soil sorting!

To avoid exposing employees to potentially infectious laundry, the automatic soil sort with robots is crucial. Especially in healthcare laundries. Robots cannot suffer from Covid-19; human beings can.

Robots pick up the individual laundry pieces from conveyor belts and transport them to RFID chip readers to identify and register each garment. Directly after that, an X-ray scanner automatically detects unwanted hidden objects in the pockets and rejects these contaminated garments. Only approved laundry articles are forwarded further to be sorted accordingly by the system.

Today, all these tasks can be performed by only a few operators who manually empty the pockets of the rejected garments.

Let us together take care that laundry employees can rely on safe and healthy workplaces.
