Spindle

Our vision is to make the commercial laundry industry the gold standard for advanced automation and applied AI.

Spindle CEO Chris Dobrez joined industry leaders to discuss how AI, automation, and robotics are shaping the future of commercial laundry operations.

Thank you to TRSA and everyone who joined the conversation!

Join Chris Dobrez at the TRSA Healthcare Conference for “Innovating Under Pressure: AI, Automation and Robotics”

Alongside Mark Wingrove and moderator Laura Waldman, Chris will explore how AI, robotics, automation, & connected plant systems are transforming laundry operations.

At EXPODETERGO 2026, Spindle is showcasing how connecting the data already being generated across your operation can give you a clearer picture of your business and help your team make better decisions.

Be sure to stop by Booth B29.

Your laundry is connected. Your data should be too.

Labor. Production. Equipment. Maintenance. Utilities.

Spindle brings it all into one platform so you can see what’s happening, understand what’s driving performance, and act faster.

We were excited to recently host Standard Bots at our headquarters and spend time exploring where American-made robotics can help solve real challenges in commercial laundry operations.

Curt Cignetti turned the losingest program in college football into a national champion in two seasons.

Not through shortcuts. Through standards, process, and daily improvement.

That’s how great operations improve too.

Small gains compound.

Spindle helps teams see them.

We're working with Northwestern University’s HAND ERC to solve the robotic dexterity. The last mile is physical: grasping, picking up & handling materials with unpredictable shapes. Solving that takes collaboration and new ways of thinking about human dexterity through #robotics

Bay Towel expected a 6-month payback on Spindle.

They were closer to 4.

They also saw:
• 13% improvement in their linen area
• 6% improvement across the entire facility
• Stronger employee engagement and communication

Real-time visibility changes how teams perform.

Episode 2 of Project Fold is out now: https://t.co/Nu33WVq60s

We capture real production data from a laundry workflow to bring reality back to the lab so we can recreate and simulate thousands of real-world instances until the system can handle what production throws at it.

This is what “real-world robotics” looks like.

Episode 2 drops soon. Subscribe to follow along.

Commercial laundry is a complex business. But the principle to becoming a team of continuous improvement is simple:

When teams can see the work clearly, measure what matters, and build the right feedback loops, better outcomes follow.

Heading to CleanEx 2026? Let's meet up!

We'll be at Ascot Racecourse on April 26–27 to talk about how Spindle helps laundry teams capture operational data, turn it into insight, and drive real action.

[Spindle @SpindleLIVE]

The best-in-class operators schedule maintenance when nothing is broken.
They fix things before they fail.
They accept a small, certain cost to avoid a large, chaotic one.

It's not innovation.
It's discipline.

And in the business of #laundry, discipline compounds.

This week ask yourself: "What would guarantee poor performance?”

- No visibility into where time is actually lost
- No clear measurement of output
- No understanding of how work actually flows

Remove those and a surprising number of problems disappear on their own.

Everyone talks about automation in laundry.

Then you get to textiles & things fall apart. Tasks that seem simple are really hard for robots.

Follow along as we document our journey and approaching it differently with our partners at @Acumino.

Tired of your data living in silos?

SpindleCORE connects your laundry's workforce, equipment, maintenance, and production data into one unified platform, giving your team real-time visibility and control.

Break compliance is one of the most common wage-and-hour risk areas, especially in multi-state operations. Spindle customers have the option to ensure their team members complete the full break period before returning to work.

Margin leak in laundry: rewash loops. Items fail QC, get reprocessed, fail again, repeat.

Each lap burns labor, utilities & capacity.

After a “last chance” formula, make sure you pull it from the loop.

~3–5% rewash is very common. Best in class is < 3%.
