RFID v. Barcodes: Who Wins?
Our efficiency at Service Uniform is amplified by our use of RDIF Chips and readers over barcodes. Many uniform rental companies rely on barcodes for each garment to organize, distribute and track their products. Barcodes are those little line and number sequences on price tags, while an RFID Chip is embedded into the garment.
There are pros and cons to using both barcodes and RFID. On their own, barcodes can wrinkle and fade with time, washing, and use. However, barcodes are great for identifying a garment right off the bat, while RFID technology is able to scan and identify garments with ultimate accuracy, ensuring the right garment is delivered on-time, every time.
At Service Uniform, we ensure that your garments are correctly identified, 100% of the time, by using both RFID and barcodes in our Blue Chip Tracking System®. By offering barcodes to our customers, we make sure that identification is available not just to us, but also to you and your employees.
