Finding ways to make cleaning in your building quicker and easier for your janitorial team is likely a priority for your business.
One way you can enhance your cleaning program is by switching to IoT-enabled devices. When connected to a smart management system, these devices are able to help your building managers achieve a cleaner facility.
In this video, I’ll explain how you can implement IoT-enabled devices in your facility.
In the cleaning world, IoT (or the internet of things) refers to the connections that exist between devices and a cloud-based system. These devices are able to wirelessly track data and send it to a management system.
Janitorial IoT devices that you can implement in your facility include dispensers, fobs, restroom fixtures, and cleaning equipment.
IoT technology is commonly used in the restroom to keep up with the maintenance needed, but it can be used all throughout your building.
In addition to using IoT-enabled devices, the janitorial equipment that your staff uses to clean your building can also be wirelessly connected to a management system. With the information that’s gathered from these devices, your cleaning program can be updated to properly reflect the capabilities of the staff and address the needs of your building.
If you’re looking to add IoT technology to your cleaning program, there are 3 ways we suggest implementing connected devices and equipment. First, you can swap out your current dispensers for IoT-connected dispensers.
When you make the switch from regular dispensers to IoT-enabled dispensers, you will be able to receive notifications that tell you exactly what your facility needs.
Next, you can hand out IoT-connected fobs to the members of your cleaning staff.
These fobs track where your staff is and how long it takes for them to perform their cleaning tasks.
Tracking the efficiency of your staff will help you create the most productive way for them to spend their cleaning shifts.
Finally, integrating IoT-connected cleaning equipment will help your staff understand how to use equipment to make cleaning quicker and more effective.
For example, if you use an autonomous automatic floor scrubber, you will be able to see what areas have been cleaned, how long ago, and how long the cleaning task took to complete.
Overall, IoT-enabled devices can make it easier for you and your cleaning staff to complete cleaning tasks in your facility.
You can use these connected devices, equipment, and products to track and monitor your staff’s productivity during each shift.
