The Plaza Improves Uniform Operations by Upgrading Its Uniform System

InvoTech Systems Inc. announced the recent upgrade of its Uniform System at The Plaza. InvoTech Systems provides advanced Linen Management, Laundry and Uniform Systems that integrate RFID technology to increase profitability for hotels, resorts, casino operators, sports arenas, convention centers and theme parks. The InvoTech System installed at The Plaza manages the uniform inventory for 900 employees, and the property joins InvoTech’s extensive client portfolio of RFID Uniform systems worldwide.

The UHF-RFID upgrade will provide additional cost-saving benefits by automating manual tasks that were previously required. Specialized waterproof RFID tags are discreetly attached to each uniform piece. The InvoTech Uniform System automatically tracks RFID tagged uniform pieces when issued to employees and as it is shipped to and received back from the laundry. Previously, garments were manually scanned one-at-a-time, a time consuming process that now will be eliminated. The RFID technology allows for multiple uniforms to be processed simultaneously and automatically, and the recordkeeping is also automated.

“Our property has utilized InvoTech’s Uniform System for over 10 years. They provide an excellent product and services. InvoTech’s team is always responsive – from the support team to supplies. The upgrade process and installation was simple, no new training was needed and most importantly upgrading did not interrupt with our daily operations,” said Rich Francis, Director of Information Technology at The Plaza

The InvoTech Uniform System is a paperless “green” system. The System includes an electronic signature capture terminal that records employee signatures when uniforms are assigned, which eliminates the need to print reports to obtain signatures. In addition, all system reports can be viewed on the screen or generated to PDF files to be easily viewed or shared, which also facilitates a paperless “green” system.
