Traceability for Textiles & PPE

Optimize the Management of Workwear, Uniforms & Reusable PPE

SmartX HUB Workwear is built for organizations that must issue, track, and recover clothing, uniforms, and protective equipment for their people every day — across roles, shifts, and sites. Managing workwear by hand is a constant drain: garments go missing, counts are wrong, and shortages disrupt operations. Our RFID solution secures stock, streamlines inventories, and automates the allocation of workwear to employees.

Designed for industries from manufacturing and construction to hospitality, security services, and facilities, our RFID uniform-management platform reduces losses, eliminates manual counting, and delivers analytics to optimize your entire uniform and PPE program. It runs on the same platform as our asset inventory solution and connects naturally to loss prevention.

Our Services

Real-Time Visibility Across the Whole Cycle

From the stockroom to the employee to the wash and back, every garment is tracked individually — so nothing goes missing and nothing sits dormant.

Inventory Management
Gain real-time visibility over your textile inventory. Track and monitor usage and lifecycle durability, increase rotations, and eliminate dormant stock to reduce overall inventory capacity.
Distribution Control
Automatic verification of garments distributed to each employee ensures proper allocation and accurate billing. Improve production planning, reduce shortages, and anticipate requirements.
Logistics Optimization
Plan clothing and equipment needs from real collected data. Access cloud-based dashboards and reports on stock levels, cycle flows, and usage trends — anytime, anywhere.

FAQ

Uniform & PPE Traceability — Common Questions

Answers to the questions we hear most from teams evaluating RFID uniform, workwear and reusable-PPE tracking with SmartX HUB. Have another question? Reach out through our support center.

What is RFID uniform and reusable-PPE tracking?
It's an all-in-one platform that individually tracks and traces every uniform, workwear item or reusable-PPE garment in real time throughout its use and maintenance cycle. Each item carries an RFID tag; reading stations log it automatically. The result is real-time visibility and control over your textile inventory, accessible anytime, anywhere.
How does it work?
The solution combines RFID tags, reading stations and a cloud platform. Garments are identified using RFID tags and read by various readers — such as bins, hatches and fixed stations — at key points of distribution, return and laundry. Data is centralized and made available through online reports and interactive dashboards, integrating into your existing laundry and ERP processes.
Who is it for?
It's designed for any organization that manages uniforms, workwear or costumes daily — service companies, amusement parks, large retailers, hospitality, manufacturing and security services among them. Anywhere staff are issued clothing by role, the platform secures stock, streamlines inventories and manages allocation efficiently.
How does it reduce uniform and linen losses?
By controlling customer-owned and rental inventory at item level, SmartX HUB accurately tracks usage and lifecycle durability. Increasing rotations reduces the overall inventory you need to carry and eliminates dormant stock — directly cutting losses and saving on replacement purchases.
Can it control distribution and return of items to employees?
Yes. The platform provides automatic verification of items distributed to employees, ensuring proper allocation and enabling accurate, timely billing. Reading points confirm assignment, distribution and return of each garment — so you always know who has what, and what's come back.
Does it eliminate manual counting?
Yes. RFID lets you read many tagged items at once, so you eliminate manual counting and record-keeping and cut labor costs. Automating sorting and shipment validation increases throughput, turning a slow, error-prone chore into a fast, accurate background process.
How does it optimize the laundry cycle?
SmartX HUB manages clean-versus-soiled linen flows, dormant stock and losses at both the laundry and customer sites. This improves laundry production planning, reduces shortage scenarios, and helps you anticipate customer requirements — keeping enough clean items ready for use at all times.
What reports and analytics does it provide?
A cloud-based platform delivers real-time dashboards and reports on stock levels, laundry cycle flows and usage trends. This actionable information helps you plan clothing and equipment needs based on real data, improve daily business decisions, and optimize your whole uniform program.
Does it integrate with our existing laundry and ERP systems?
Yes. The system is designed to integrate into your existing laundry processes and ERP software, so it enhances what you already run rather than replacing it. Data is centralized and accessible on the cloud platform, and can be enriched to meet your specific traceability requirements.
How does it fit with your other tracking solutions?
Uniform traceability is part of the wider SmartX HUB platform. It shares the same RFID foundation as asset inventory management, returnable transport items and supply chain automation — all on one platform, so textiles, assets and inventory share a single operational record. Book a demo to map it to your operation.
