Walk'n Closet Trust

Trust in your team, efficiency in your process

For organisations with:

  • Average budget and low to medium registration requirements
  • Trust in staff and autonomy as priorities
  • Efficiency and flexibility as key concerns

How the Trust concept works:

A self-service system comparable to a modern retail store. Employees gain access to the room after identification with their badge. They then select the required clothing from the available stock themselves. Upon leaving the room, a UHF antenna automatically registers which items have been taken.

Features Trust concept:

  • Unmanned operation 24/7
  • Minimal hardware investment
  • Fast distribution within 30 seconds
  • High throughput capacity during peak hours
  • Automatic registration at exit
  • Misuse alerts for incorrect behaviour

Benefits:

  • Autonomous operation without staff
  • Flexibility and ease of use
  • Cost-effective solution
  • Scalable for growing organisations

Walk'n Closet Secured

Control where needed, freedom where possible

For organisations with:

  • Medium to high budget and medium to high registration requirements
  • Greater control desired for growing organisations
  • Security awareness and controlled access

How Walk'n Closet Secured works:

The same system as Trust, but with turnstiles for access control. Employees must register to enter the room and can only leave after system approval. This provides more control without sacrificing ease of use.

Features Walk'n Closet Secured:

  • Controlled access via turnstiles
  • Access only for registered users
  • Exit control with system approval
  • Optional misuse control available
  • All functionalities of Walk'n Closet Trust

Benefits:

  • Enhanced security while maintaining ease of use
  • Controlled access without staff
  • Scalability with improved registration
  • Flexible security levels

Walk'n Closet Gate

Absolute control, minimal loss risk

For organisations with:

  • Maximum registration requirements
  • Zero tolerance for loss and compliance-critical operations
  • Audit requirements and full transparency

How Walk'n Closet Gate works:

The most advanced version of the Walk'n Closet. Users enter an airlock where all items are automatically scanned. The system verifies whether the user is authorised for the items taken. If an incorrect selection is made, the user is directed back to correct it. The airlock can only be exited with the correct items.

Features Walk'n Closet Gate:

  • Watertight RFID airlock for entry and exit
  • Automatic scanning of all items
  • User interface displays progress
  • Correction option for errors
  • Multiple airlocks side by side possible
  • Combination with other systems possible

Benefits:

  • Minimal loss risk through complete control
  • Maximum transparency and audit compliance
  • Automatic correction options
  • Highest registration reliability

Technical capabilities all Walk'n Closet versions

UHF RFID technology

The core element of all Walk'n Closet versions is the UHF RFID tag on each article. This ensures automatic recognition and real-time inventory insight. The technology enables detection at a distance and accurately records movements.

Applications:

  • Workwear and uniforms
  • Personal protective equipment (PPE)
  • Tools and materials
  • Linen and textile products

Replenishment:

All versions can be easily restocked using a handheld scanner or automatic UHF airlock for containers. Import of laundry packing lists is possible for streamlined logistics.
