Miami company, Linen Technology Tracking has patented a washable RFID chip that can be sewn into towels, bathrobes and other linens and can withstand up to 300 wash cycles.
The chips are currently used by three hotels in the US and the system is already paying dividends, with a reduction in theft and other benefits derived from real-time tracking.
