InterContinental Atlanta And Park Hyatt Chicago Implement RFID Inventory Tracking

The InterContinental Buckhead Atlanta and Park Hyatt Chicago have both benefited from the control and accountability established by the InvoTech Systems, Inc. Uniform System for more than ten years. The RFID upgrade will provide cost saving benefits with more efficient operations by automating manual tasks.

The InvoTech Uniform System with RFID technology automatically tracks each piece when it is assigned to an employee and as it goes to and from our laundry company. The company knows how many pieces we send out, and how many return after washing.

 InterContinental Buckhead Atlanta also utilizes a White Conveyors U-Pick-It System to automate the distribution of the uniforms to employees.

InterContinental Buckhead Atlanta also uses the InvoTech Linen System to reduce labor costs and track daily movement of linen items at the property. The hotel has approximately 20,500 linen items, towels, sheets, and pillowcases with durable UHF-RFID laundry tags. InvoTech’s system monitors the location of each tagged linen piece to cut lost-item cost and minimize handling. When the laundry company does not return a linen item they are held responsible for the replacement cost.

The Park Hyatt Chicago also upgraded its operation to InvoTech’s latest RFID Uniform System. The property manages uniforms for its staff of 400. Uniforms are automatically tracked when staff members take delivery and when they are sent to the property’s laundry company. Park Hyatt Chicago also uses a White Conveyors U-Pick-It System to securely distribute uniforms to the correct employee and ensure uniforms are accurately monitored. The InvoTech Uniform System reduces labor expenses associated with manual garment handling and increases employee accountability with automated uniform tracking.
