Onvation®, the No. 1
ranked1 smart restroom solution, optimizes restroom
servicing as employees return to the office
ROSWELL,
Ga., June 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --
Kimberly-Clark Professional™ announced today that it will
partner with GOJO Industries to exhibit Onvation® smart
restroom technology at the Realcomm 2022 expo, debuting its
solutions to help facilities in North
America meet the diverse challenges of numerous workplaces
as they embrace employees returning to the office.
Onvation, a connected software solution, proactively controls
and optimizes restroom servicing, provides the intelligence and
flexibility needed to deliver world-class facility management and
improve operational efficiencies, and helps organizations meet
their sustainability goals. This is increasingly important as
offices and employers face labor shortages, unpredictable building
occupancy rates and increased hygiene expectations. Realcomm trade
show attendees will have the opportunity to interact with
Onvation's state-of-the-art technology through in-booth
demonstrations on how this smart restroom solution provides a
series of benefits to both building users and building
management.
"Realcomm is the perfect venue to demonstrate the capabilities
of Onvation in helping the commercial real estate industry adopt
innovative solutions, such as Onvation, that will help to bring
employees back to offices and adapt to working outside of their
homes again," said Juliet Hollyhurst, Onvation's Business
Operations Leader. "Onvation notifications and data insights
can help to alleviate post-COVID-19 pandemic hygiene concerns
and enable building owners and managers to proactively maintain
safe, healthy, clean restrooms that delight their building
occupants."
Onvation leverages the Internet of Things (IoT) to enhance
restroom servicing efficiency with data-driven, connected software.
It monitors, analyzes and measures information that directly
impacts labor efficiencies and staffing levels as well as visitor
experience and hygiene. Through sensors mounted inside of
Kimberly-Clark Professional and GOJO Industries' PURELL®
smart dispensers, the Onvation solution actively monitors restroom
traffic as well as supplies of soap, toilet tissue and hand towels,
and then provides real-time data to alert staff when product levels
are low and service is needed.
Through real-time notifications, restrooms with Onvation
technology save time and resources, ensuring dispensers are only
serviced when needed. As Kimberly-Clark Professional research
suggests, cleaners could spend 25% of their 8-hour shift checking
dispensers in an average building. Onvation reduces the time spent
on this task by more than 90% per year.2 Onvation helps
facilities to achieve up to 75% fewer visitor complaints and
contributes to organizations' sustainability goals with up to 80%
waste reduction.3
"In today's workplaces, technology is changing the way
facilities are managed, allowing janitorial teams and operations
managers to work smarter – not harder," said Hollyhurst.
"We're thrilled to be at Realcomm for the first time, where we have
the opportunity to connect directly with our customers and
demonstrate the impact Onvation can have on properties that harness
the power of smart, connected solutions."
The Realcomm expo serves as the premier industry event focused
on automated business solutions and state-of-the-art enterprise
technologies for the commercial and corporate real estate
industry.
