data in terms of production time, throughput
per machine (per operator and per batch) as
well as stats on the consumption of water,
steam, gas and electricity. Crosby says this
software package enables data to be accessed
through a central location or web portal, to
monitor and measure every aspect of plant
operations or detect anomalies without hav-
ing to routinely walk around the plant to
physically inspect each apparatus. In addi-
tion to saving time, this technology helps
WMSHL provide customers details as to
the inventory or processing of linen unique
to their respective healthcare operations.
Crosby says this innovation of technology
complements the engineering innovations
which WMSHL has consistently sought in
its ongoing mission to advance and improve
operations. “When I look at our infrastruc-
ture, I see a lot of equipment which has se-
rial numbers that are 0001 or 0002, so we’re
always looking for ways to be innovative and
invest in the cutting-edge technology that
helps us perform at our best,” says Crosby.
