Demand for IoT solution expected to increase as facility cleaning protocols heighten
Bunzl Canada is launching two new system components to enhance the capabilities of its IoT-based restroom monitoring system, WandaNEXT™. It now includes a mobile application and IoT alert button so the system can be customized to a wide range of facility sizes and types.
The new components include a mobile application and IoT alert button to broaden the system's applicability to varied facility sizes and types. The WandaMOBILE™ application enables environmental cleaning teams to document cleaning activities from their mobile devices. It provides facility managers with data analytics to confirm activity types and frequency, analyze consumable usage and optimize resource deployment. The application can be used in conjunction with the newly introduced WandaQUICKTOUCH™ IoT button to alert cleaning teams to issues that require immediate attention.
"More than ever, the focus will be on ensuring that the correct cleaning protocols for specific facility types have been established, and are being followed," said Bunzl Canada President, John Howlett. "We continue to work with Visionstate IoT to enhance this important technology so we can proactively address the new challenges our customers face in maintaining healthy, safe and productive environments."
The system comprises analytics software and data collection components that include touchscreen tablets, infrared traffic counting units, the new mobile application and IoT alert buttons. Its configuration can be customized to meet specific facility management needs. The system's installation base includes healthcare, retail, commercial office, conference, airport and distribution facilities across Canada and the United States. It was also recently launched in the United Kingdom and Australia.
"WandaNEXT™ is a powerful compliance management tool that will help to raise the standard of cleaning and hygiene in public spaces," said John Putters, CEO of Visionstate IoT.
