In commercial laundry, performance has always mattered – but how we measure, optimise and improve upon those operations is evolving. The future is no longer simply about powerful machines; it’s about smart solutions that communicate, generate actionable insights and help businesses make data-driven decisions in real time.
At Richard Jay, we’re helping Australian organisations across aged care, healthcare, hospitality, childcare and commercial laundry operations embrace this new era of efficiency through intelligent laundry systems designed for high performance and long-term value.
Smarter machines, smarter operations
Modern commercial laundry solutions, including machines from leading manufacturers like Electrolux Professional, are now equipped with integrated smart technology. This connectivity unlocks real-time visibility into machine usage, performance trends, maintenance needs and utility consumption.
Key benefits of these smart features include:
- Remote monitoring of performance across single or multiple sites
- Proactive maintenance alerts to reduce downtime
- Cycle optimisation through data insights
- Energy and water usage tracking to support sustainability targets.
Data that drives better decisions
Smart laundry technology helps your machines work better while making your business run smarter. Whether you’re managing linen turnaround in a hospital or improving operations in a hotel laundry, data assists you to:
- Identify inefficiencies and performance gaps
- Improve workflows and staff training
- Minimise waste and resource use
- Plan equipment servicing and future upgrades.
For industries such as healthcare and aged care, data also enables transparent hygiene compliance reporting – critical in meeting regulatory standards.

Smart laundry systems enable businesses to make informed, efficient and sustainable choices, without compromising on hygiene standards, turnaround times or fabric care.
From reducing rewash rates to aligning with corporate sustainability goals, data-driven laundry is no longer optional – it’s a competitive advantage.
