We're located in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. We are a 126-year-old family company.
We primarily do industrial laundering. Mats, work wear,
and then towels, and aprons, and other products like that.
I see a lot of the problems that we face today
being able to solve with the technology that's available.
The UHF and RF tech chips are really promising.
I'm looking at one of the new mat rollers that we have already have and we're
going to be modifying it with UHF readers so that we could do additional sorting.
We track every garment as a unique asset.
We use the chip to keep track of our inventory,
we use it to ensure the quality that we're promising.
'Is the customer getting exactly what they're supposed to get and when?'
And it helps us keep track of our costs.
We like to think of ourselves as innovators.
I'm not sure that we really are, as much as that we're never happy with what we have,
and we know that we could improve, so we're continuously trying to improve.
I think the innovation is using technologies that are available -
and it's how we use it!
Almost all the technologies could be had by every one of our competitors,
so it's how do you use it is the competitive advantage.
I think we have certain advantages that we're a smaller company,
we're very hands on
and we do our own - most of our own development work.
So I think we have an advantage in network.
Maybe a little bit closer to the the customer and closer to the problem.
I think the company of the future has to be specialized
and I think it has to embrace some of the technologies and that's why I am here.
And, we've been partnering now how many years.
We really like the Inwatec products
and we're able to partner with a company
that's really leading in the technology.
And so what if we're you know a 10-hour flight away?
