Doctors and nurses will now be able to dispense and collect their uniforms hands-free using a fully automated machine.
The technology was implemented to protect healthcare workers, which has become even more critical with the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, as well as fight contamination, protect workers' health, cut costs, and maximize efficiency.
Polytex's system itself is sealed, keeping garments in a clean environment that is opened only by laundry professionals during collection and restocking. The system is available on a 24/7 basis and often installed at multiple locations enabling staff to receive and return garments in seconds, thereby avoiding unnecessary crowding.
Polytex's technology has also been adopted in hospitals across Israel, the United States, Europe, and Asia.
