5-star London hotel installs Metalprogetti uniform conveyer5-star London hotel installs Metalprogetti uniform conveyer

The Standard’s brand new 5-star hotel, located in the heart of London’s Kings Cross, is the latest in a long line of the UK’s leading hotels to install a new best-in-class, state-of-the-art uniform conveyor system.

The hotel, which boasts 266 rooms, is The Standard’s first hotel to be built outside of America and required a uniform conveyor solution to efficiently store and manage staff uniforms. After an an initial site visit with The Standard’s Director of Engineering, which helped gain a deeper understanding of their requirements, we recommended a U-shape conveyor with 310 x 49.5mm slots.

The hotel staff can operate the conveyer using a simple computerised screen. A uniform is selected from the options on-screen and the conveyor rotates until the selected garment reaches the collection point. Staff members are then able to retrieve their uniform. 

The options for these types of conveyors are almost limitless, ranging from fully-automated delivery systems using staff ID cards, to simple storage conveyors.  The systems have been proven to increase productivity and help a hotel’s bottom line.
