CHICAGO is Still Revolutionizing The Industry
From the earliest days of the modern laundry industry, Chicago has been there to see it all. Timeless values such as innovation, stability, and service are now more important than ever.
No one knows more about flatwork finishing than Chicago. After all, it’s our only business and we’ve been at it for over 100 years. Whether you need to finish millions of pounds of healthcare, institutional, or hospitality linen per year, or just a few hundred pounds per week, Chicago has the solution that’s just right for you.
Our Chicago High Intelligence (CHI) microprocessor has been the industry’s most advanced and easiest-to-use finishing management system for operators, supervisors, and service staff.
Now, the new CHI•Touch control screen, with enhanced graphical user interface, gives operating, supervising, and maintenance staff more helpful information, easier visual prompts and greater flexibility than ever before. With a touch of the screen, the user can access program details and view dynamic 3-D graphics to help quickly setup and begin their finishing task. CHI•Touch can regulate a single component or a fully integrated automated system.
Supervisors have access to separate screens for account and personnel productivity data and maintenance staff has access to an extremely useful database of simple touch adjustments for electrical and mechanical components, as well as a library of internal manual and schematic information to speed and simplify troubleshooting.
By far the industry’s most intuitive, visually interactive and user-friendly control screen, CHI•Touch is just one of the latest industry advancements from Chicago.
CHILINC (displayed on monitor) is Chicago’s Laundry Information Network Connection—an exclusive computer information network that connects a laundry’s management team to all of its flatwork finishing equipment and can link with other parts of the laundry process. Current and historical production data by item, line, or account, as well as operator efficiency and individual machine utilization factors give managers the information they need to produce high quality finished linen as cost effectively as possible. CHILINC’s user-friendly interface and productivity gains have been proven in laundries of many different sizes and environments.
