Smart Washroom Technologies

A smart washroom is a customizable solution that integrates operational and environmental smart washroom sensors and IoT technology, in commercial and retail washrooms, to provide a clear view of data in real-time. Some of the benefits of digital washrooms (restrooms) include smarter maintenance of facilities, enhanced customer service and increased staff accountability.

3-D platforms allow the user to monitor anything from temperature and humidity to occupancy levels and water flow, so the most effective decisions can be made to achieve optimal operational efficiency and reduce environmental footprint.

Smart washroom technology consists of sophisticated equipment that allows a facility to be operated at optimal efficiency. Systems such as VERTECO’s 3D IoT smart platform, which is driven by smart washroom sensors, produce data which allows for real-time monitoring and improved user experience as well as achieving significant cost savings.

The smart system facilitates management of a wide range of resources. Usage patterns allows cleaning schedules to be adapted when needed and digital monitoring of consumables via sensors ensures a reduction in unnecessary checks and a reduction in waste. Real-time alerts can be sent when an equipment issue is detected, ensuring the problem is fixed before a more costly issue develops.

A smart lavatory maintenance system is a sensor and IoT driven system that provides the user with real-time data on a range of variables, supporting operational and environmental efficiencies.

From accurate consumable inventories and efficient allocation of resources to overall smarter facilities management, smart or ‘digital’ washrooms offer commercial and retail businesses scalable options and customizable solutions that support an overall enhanced customer experience.

A smart public toilet is a sensor-driven system that monitors people movement within a facility. Also referred to as a washroom occupancy system, sensors allow the accurate measurement people using a lavatory in real-time. It is a simple yet cost-effective tool that allows owners to make effective operational decisions – whilst providing the best possible washroom experience for the user.

LooLights™ is a smart washroom sensor system that identifies when a washroom cubicle is being used. With a retro-fit light fixed to the ceiling in front of the cubicle door, a simple green or red light (or blue for people of determination) tells users which stalls are free, and which aren’t, preventing queues and overcrowding.

The occupancy system collects data which is displayed at the entrance to the washroom, directing people to a less busy washroom and easing congestion. With access to the data on a mobile device, facilities management teams can make decisions in real-time and immediately improve operational efficiencies.
