Automated Wardrobe at Resorts World Sentosa (Singapore)

This example is more for their internal operations:


With thousands of crew members from the Casino, Universal Studios, restaurants and hotels, Resorts World Sentosa has installed the automated wardrobe system in order to facilitate the retrieval of the crew members' uniform.

Every crew member will be allocated 1 slot where they hang their uniform in the clothing bag. The bag (the blue one on the left) has a microchip installed. The uniform has a microchip sewn onto the uniform as well. This microchip is unique for all crew members and is linked to their employee pass.

When they need to retrieve their uniform, they will go to the door and punch in their password and scan their card. The system then recognises the employee pass and password (which is linked to the microchip) and the coveyer belt will move the entire rack of clothes and the correct clothing bag will stop right at the door. The door then automatically opens for the employee to retrieve his uniform, change into it, and put his own clothes in the clothing bag.

When they knock off from work, the same procedure follows so that they could retrieve their own clothes to change into.

As their uniform has the microchip sewn into it, after it has been washed, the wardrobe department just has to scan the uniform to locate the conveyer belt it belongs to and hang it back onto the rack.

Each wardrobe department has at least 5 doors so facilitate the hundreds of people who start/finish their shift at the same hours.

  1. Interesting... but is it still sequential processing when all 5 windows/doors are occupied?
