Digital delivery slip with on-the-spot signature, integrated industrial scale, soiling calculated by contract and tolerance validated before it turns into a dispute. The first half of the cycle, in a single screen.
Collection and weighing is the step where the most data is lost to paper — and the first step that pays off when it becomes a system. Three roles meet here:
Tablet in place of the notebook. Delivery slip with items, observations and signature on the spot. Works offline. Syncs on reconnect.
Sees in real time what was collected, by whom, at which hospital. Spots late collections before the hospital calls.
Receives an electronic receipt on the spot. Checks collection history through the portal. Knows what was weighed without calling.
The driver arrives at the hospital, opens the tablet, records collected items, the receiving person signs on the screen. Prints on the spot via thermal printer. The hospital keeps the paper, the laundry keeps the data.
Industrial scale connected via serial or USB port. The operator places the load, the weight appears on the system screen, linked to the client contract, the weighing operator and the timestamp. No notebook between the scale and the system.
The contract defines the expected soiling per client. The system calculates real soiling at every collection (dirty weight × clean weight) and compares it to the contract. Large deviations are flagged — not surprises at the end of the month.
Same scale, same sequence. Clean weight recorded, linked to the original collection. The difference becomes real soiling and the ±30% tolerance (RDC 06/2012) is validated automatically. Over the limit, an alert — nothing slips through.
Who collected. At which hospital. Which items. Who weighed. How much went in and how much came out. Who signed for receipt. All searchable, exportable in PDF and XLSX. Audits stop being archaeology.
The operation does not change. It is still collection, dirty weighing, washing, clean weighing, delivery. What changes is where the data lives.
Collection and weighing feed the rest of the system — invoice at month end, manager dashboard, client portal. They also produce their own reports:
30 minutes. Real data. No commitment.
