SORTING SYSTEMS

Sorting is a labour-intensive part of the process, it is an important determining factor for the remainder of the laundry process. It does not only determine the quality of the product, but also the efficiency of the production. It is the beginning of the laundry chain and it determines the pace of the production. In addition, this is where the linen is defined by entering the customer number and the type of linen. The further laundry process is initiated on the basis of these data.

MANAGEMENT DATA

WG-Perform: management data
Have you always wanted to know how efficiently your machinery works?
With dryer analysis from Wilgengroep as part of WG-Perform (the analysis portal for heavy duty laundries ), you measure factors including the OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness ), temperature, usage rate and amount of downtime. Besides that, you can apply this data to the processing machines in the clean items department, to gain data on the real-time performance of the dryers and, with that in combination with item tracking, to know what is on the way.

The Performance Dashboards allow you to measure the performance of your employees or machines. These performances are shown with the set norm for the workplace. By recording work and clock times, an active workplace can be linked to an employee or machine. This gives an overall picture of the laundry process, and the combination of that with our cloud-based management dashboards offers you handles that allow you to optimize your process even further!
