Southeastern Louisiana University is working together with ASI Campus Laundry Solutions (ASI) to deploy Laundry Alert, an automated service designed to make washing clothes on campus easier.

According to an official newspaper for the university, the system enables students to view which machines are available or in-use and approximately how much time is left on each machine, before making the trip to the laundry facility. Students who sign up for the Laundry Alert service will also be receive an email notification or text message when “their” laundry cycle is complete.

All dorm hall laundry rooms on campus will utilize the system to provide students with a means to monitor the availability of dorm washing machines, thereby reducing the amount of unnecessary congestion.
