Smart textiles manager—a new key profile for RFID success in the hotel sector

The new professional position has been created at Resuinsa to spearhead digital transformation in hotel linens with tailored solutions for all customers

 

RFID technology came to the hospitality sector with a view to making linens management more efficient, with many hotels, industrial laundries and large chains committing to this major innovation. However, results have varied in certain instances, paving the way for future improvements. The reason seems simple: technology by itself is not enough. There is a risk of RFID not having the expected impact without suitable planning, technical skills and expert support.

As a benchmark textile firm in the hotel sector, Resuinsa is spearheading the development and introduction of smart textiles, setting the pace in the field for many years. The firm firsts trial every innovation to understand the challenges and implement what really works. Based on this experience, it has created a new and essential professional profile to ensure success for its projects: the smart textiles manager, a Resuinsa professional who works hand in hand with customers. Their work is essential to ensuring any RFID system matches the specific requirements for every customer and becomes a real competitive advantage.

The specialist is part of the service provided by Resuinsa to help ‘translate’ technology into easy-to-understand and useful language. They also provide comprehensive support to all customers across all stages of a project. Before any roll-out, they offer advice on setting goals, and selecting software, tags and suitable scanners. During development, they help in key decision-making on scanning areas and installing chips in items. After roll-out, they supervise system operations by analysing data on the cloud, ensuring everything runs smoothly and peak performance is attained.

Guaranteed from day one

What makes Resuinsa stand out is its advanced planning and full process control. As Resuinsa CEO Félix Martí explains: ‘We do not wait for problems to crop up, we prevent them and offer effective solutions.’ This vision starts with manufacturing, where every item carries a sewn-in label with an assigned and tested high quality tag, offering guaranteed traceability. The automated process ensures consistency and efficiency at every stage.

Thanks to all this, RFID is not only a technology tool but also a strategic solution when accompanied by the right skills and knowledge. Thanks to its smart textiles and expert support, Resuinsa is driving hotel efficiency and improving guest experience.
