Estimating the term…
A method for preparing and/or monitoring the wet treatment of items of laundry wherein the items of laundry are counted using their electronic data carriers. An electronic data carrier of the item of laundry is determined. If more than a single electronic data carrier is detected, this indicates that there are multiple connected items of laundry which do not permit washing. The electronic data carriers can be used to determine the number of items of laundry loaded into a washing machine and the number of items of the same unloaded batch of laundry. If the unloaded batch of laundry has a lower number of electronic data carriers than during loading, this indicates that not all the items have been unloaded from the washing machine and there is a risk of the washing machine becoming blocked.
A method for monitoring the wet treatment of items of laundry, wherein batches are formed from a plurality of items of laundry, each of which has at least one electronic data carrier, and the items of laundry of the respective batch are at least washed together in a washing machine, wherein during loading and unloading of the washing machine, the number of items of laundry of the respective batch is determined by means of their electronic data carriers and the number of items of laundry that is determined during loading is compared with the number of items of laundry that is determined during unloading.
A method for preparing the wet treatment of items of laundry, wherein the items of laundry each having at least one electrical data carrier are checked to see whether they contain at least one other item of laundry or are connected to at least one other item of laundry, wherein the number of electronic data carriers is determined for each item of laundry.
