Prologic
Pioneering technological solutions
Prologic launched the Laundry Manager system in partnership with Foundation Logic Systems to make inventory and linen tracking easier.
Prologic vice president – hospitality Amit Sharda comments: “Everything from the washing to the ironing is automated or semi-automated. Another area that a lot of hotels and state of the art laundries are looking at is ways to make their inventory taking and linen tracking easier. The RFID technology is a very frequently spoken about topic in the hospitality industry today.”

“Having spoken to a number of laundry managers and housekeeping directors, the most common things I have heard are the difficulties in taking the inventory, which could take hours and still be wrong, and another is keeping track of what is going to laundry and what is being returned.
The sheer numbers are daunting and the end result is purchasing more than required or less than required. With our system, close to 900 items can be counted per second, making the whole process of inventory taking or linen tracking a breeze,” he adds.
The system uses RFID technology to keep track of uniforms and linen that have been sent to the laundry and returned. “With a tracker in place, the exact number of each type of linen would be tracked inside and out rather than relying on the age old method of weighing the soiled linen,” explains Sharda.
Prologic has recently signed three major properties for its linen and uniform managers — Rosewood, Abu Dhabi, Burj Khalifa, and The Ritz-Carlton Abu Dhabi, Grand Canal. The company is also in the process of upgrading the Laundry Manager system and will soon be rolling out a web-based software.
