The present invention is a process and system for treating at least one piece of laundry that has a Radio-Frequency Identifier Tag, where the laundry is placed inside a double drum laundry processing system, the system including a receiver for reading signals from the RFID through openings for transmission in the inner drum to provide laundry data to processing unit which controls the cleaning cycle.

A laundry sorting and evaluation system includes a housing having an opening and defining a laundry path. First and second platforms are positioned within the housing, each operably connected to a motor. First and second cameras are respectively associated with the platforms and are configured to acquire at images of an item of laundry on each of the first and second platforms. A controller is configured to receive the images and produce an evaluation of a condition of the item of laundry based upon the received images.

A method of using an inspection processor includes receiving one or more articles at an inspection station, and identifying, by the inspection processor, one of the articles by reading a unique identifier associated with the one of the articles. The method also includes inspecting the article based on at least one quality criterion, and updating an article tracking system based on the result of the inspection and the identifier.

Devices, systems, and methods for autonomously sorting dirty laundry articles into batched loads for washing are described. For example, an autonomous sorting system includes an enclosed channel including a stationary floor extending between an inlet end and an outlet end of the channel, a plurality of arms disposed in series along the enclosed channel for selectively grasping at least one of the plurality of deformable articles in sequence. The system includes an outlet orifice adjacent the outlet end through which each separated deformable article exits the enclosed channel upon release by the terminal gripper of the one of the plurality of arms, and one or more conveyors disposed adjacent the outlet end configured for receiving thereon a plurality of bins for collecting for washing together two or more articles of the plurality of deformable articles released through the outlet orifice having a common sensor-detected one or more characteristics.

A method for using a tag to orient a garment is disclosed. The method includes identifying the tag on an outside portion of the garment. The method further includes identifying one or more characteristics of the tag. The method further includes identifying an orientation of the garment based on at least one of: the tag being on the outside portion of the garment and one or more characteristics of the tag. In response to identifying the orientation of the garment, the method further includes making contact with the tag. While making contact with the tag, the method further includes manipulating a position of the garment as part of a task relating to wardrobe management.

The present disclosure relates to a method and to a textile piece device which allows storing and/or monitoring the load on a textile piece during one or more treatment cycles.
