About
Leanwave
We help industrial laundries and textile services see where every textile is: with washable RFID laundry tags, reading stations and the Leanwave dashboard. We start with your process, not with a product.

RFID for laundries, from one partner
Who we are
Who we are
Leanwave by Otto ID Solutions provides RFID systems for industrial laundries and textile services: wash-resistant UHF laundry tags, reading hardware, tracking software and process consulting. Leanwave is a brand of Otto ID Solutions GmbH. We look at how textiles move through a laundry, where they get lost and where time goes, and build the RFID set-up around that: from the tag in the textile to the figures in the dashboard. Laundries take the full system from us, or only the part they are missing.
How we work
Process first, then technology
We would rather tell you where RFID does not pay off than sell you hardware you do not need.
Process before product
If RFID is the answer, we build with RFID. If it isn’t, we find what is: a barcode, a camera, or a changed routine.
The full system or one part
Start with what you need: the Leanwave dashboard with tags and readers you already have, or the three key stations intake, drying and folding. Everything else can follow.
Our own laundry tag
Saphire One is our UHF RFID laundry tag, designed for 200 industrial wash cycles and sterilisation at 134 °C.
Read points that fit the plant
We map your textile flow before we specify any hardware, and place readers where the data is worth having.
Data you can act on
Every read lands in the Leanwave dashboard: stock per customer, wash counts, losses and delays.
Support after go-live
We review read rates, exceptions and losses with you after go-live and adjust read points where the data says so.
