Automation for Laundry

Automating sorting, transport, and cycle handling for commercial laundry workflows.

End-to-End Commercial Laundry Flow Automation

SakarBot streamlines high‑throughput linen lifecycles: intake, classification, batch consolidation, machine staging, inter‑machine transfers, and outbound readiness—reducing manual cart handling and accelerating turnaround.

Current Challenges

Manual cart shuttling consumes labor & floor space
Sorting errors cause rewash & batching inefficiencies
Washer/dryer idle gaps between loads
Ergonomic strain from repetitive bin transfers
Cross‑contamination risk between soiled & clean zones

Platform Advantages

Vision Fabric Classification: Model distinguishes textile families & color categories.
Dynamic Batch Builder: Weight & fabric type optimization for load consistency.
Cycle Sync Planner: Predicts washer/dryer completion to pre‑stage next loads.
Zone Segregation Enforcement: Autonomous navigation rules for soiled vs clean corridors.

Automated Laundry Workflow

1. Intake Weigh & Tag

Incoming linen lots weighed; tag / barcode / RFID associated to batch record.

2. Vision / Tag Sorting

Optional vision model or tag read classifies fabric type & color group.

3. Batch Consolidation

Loads aggregated to optimal weight / type thresholds to maximize machine utilization.

4. Washer Staging

Autonomous delivery aligns queue with cycle completion timing.

5. Dryer / Folding Transfer

Timed pickup upon wash completion; route to dryers then folding lines.

6. Finished Goods Dispatch

Clean loads consolidated, scanned, and positioned for outbound logistics.

Performance & Hygiene Outcomes

Automation stabilizes cycle cadence, lowers handling risk, and enriches operational analytics.

Throughput Increase

+15–30%

Reduced idle between machine cycles.

Sorting Accuracy

>99%

Automated ID / vision classification.

Labor Reallocation

2–4 FTE

Shifted from transport to quality tasks.

Turnaround Time

-20–35%

Optimized inter‑machine transfer latency.

Ergonomic Lift Events

-70%

Automated cart/bin handling.

Cross-Contamination Risk

↓

Strict zone segregation enforcement.

Operational Governance

Soiled vs clean pathway geofencing & access policy
Traceable chain-of-custody per batch
Electronic logs for audit & SLA verification
Role-based user action control
Encrypted telemetry & signed updates
Configurable sanitation buffer timing rules

KPIs vary with textile mix, load size distribution, and baseline process maturity.
