Abstract (en)
A laundry management system and a method for operating such a system are provided. Laundry that passes through the system is identified using radio frequency identification (RFID), while the operation of the laundry machines (20) is monitored. As a result, information relating to the identification of the laundry items (10) during operation of the laundry machine (20) can be combined with information regarding that operation, providing useful information regarding the laundry history of particular items (10). There is also provided a laundry machine (20) having an RFID reader with an antenna (26) located in such a position that the drum (22) of the machine acts to amplify signals originating from the laundry items (10).
