How Data Analysis Works in the Custodial Service Industry

TRAX Analytics

November 23, 2021

Maintaining sanitation is one of the most important aspects of operating a successful business. Whether janitorial staff members are keeping facilities clean for customers, or helping to keep a safe work environment for employees, cleanliness is a must.

However, a company’s custodial staff is often in short supply and work efforts can be
stretched quite thin in order to satisfy as many cleaning tasks as possible. Limited staff and time constraints may lead to custodial teams struggling to complete workloads and/or clean facilities according to the guidelines they’re expected to follow.

Fortunately, collecting and analyzing data related to custodial needs and activities is improving the way that commercial cleaning services are performed.

Let’s examine how data analysis works in the custodial service industry.

Inventory Stocking in Restrooms

When it comes to keeping restrooms clean in commercial businesses, data analysis is crucial. By keeping accurate records of restocking needs (soap, toilet paper, paper towels, trash liners), businesses can better ensure that high-traffic restrooms are properly stocked at all times. Keeping up with sanitation practices, like emptying trash bins and refilling soap, can prevent the spread of bacteria to other areas of the building.

Data Tracks Facility Traffic

Collecting and analyzing data in commercial office buildings can keep track of the building’s traffic. Data can determine which facilities, rooms, passageways, and floors are frequented by the majority of occupants.

As such, custodial teams can use this data to plan cleaning services, prioritizing high-traffic areas over those that see very little traffic.

Data Factors Activity Into Custodial Plans

Not only does custodial data track how heavily trafficked a given area is, but they also determine how spaces are utilized.

For example, while an office space may be open to the individuals working in the building, only certain areas within that space are going to see a lot of traffic and usage.

An office area where employees complete the majority of their work will likely need deeper cleaning services than a small alcove where the copy machine is located.

Traffic and usage are both significant factors to consider when it comes to planning out how custodial services should be dispatched.

Understanding data and using it to a custodial team’s advantage can help ensure that proper cleaning protocols are developed and time is put to its best use. Thanks to data analysis and custodial planning, businesses can save significantly while still keeping up with sanitation requirements.

#4- Security Authentication

Part of what makes a positive experience in casinos is the ability for guests to feel at ease. Casino technology has implemented several improvements in the security sector, including better surveillance. Facial recognition software and license plate capture tools allow security cameras to collect valuable data to keep guests safe from theft and violence.

#5- AI

Gambling tech has utilized artificial intelligence programs in several ways, each of which is designed to enhance casino customer satisfaction. Casinos can use AI to keep players engaged with different games, prevent fraudulent activity, detect and repair machine errors, and analyze player behaviors to spot problem gambling patterns.

#6- Smart Services

Smart services are now used throughout casinos to help staff keep up with customer needs. Smart programs allow visitors on the gaming floor to order drinks with the touch of a button, and delivery is faster and easier than ever before.

Additionally, smart technology helps ensure casino cleanliness by monitoring traffic and facility utilization. When data is collected and analyzed, scheduling custodial work becomes more efficient, and janitorial performance takes less time and effort to complete.

Casinos are, and will always be, a big part of the gaming and tourism industries, and as such, it’s wise for owners and management teams to keep an eye out for beneficial technologies. Enhancing customer satisfaction is the best possible way to keep individuals interested in visiting casinos.

2021 Smart Trends in Restroom Technology

TRAX Analytics

November 9, 2021

Innovative tech trends have improved processes in a variety of industries, including restroom technology. Many business owners, facility managers, and even homeowners are utilizing the latest smart devices for efficient restroom monitoring, utility savings, and improved cleanliness.

Let’s explore the most recent trends implemented to help you make your bathroom smart and your workload lighter.

Smart Toilets

Smart toilets present several benefits that make them superior to traditional toilets. For one, smart toilets are designed to be more compact yet durable, and they’re typically more comfortable to use (sometimes even coming with seat warming capabilities).

Additionally, smart toilets are usually touchless, meaning that they flush without the user needing to put their hands on the toilet. Many models also self-clean and use less water than their traditional counterparts.

Smart Faucets

Smart faucets also implement touchless features, so users don’t have to contaminate their hands when turning the water on or off. These utilities are not only a wise option for improved hygiene, but they help prevent water waste.

Because smart faucets are automated, there’s no chance of accidentally leaving the water dripping or overflowing the sink. Users have access to enough water to wash and rinse their hands without sending gallons of water down the drain in the process.

Smart Water Monitor

Smart water monitors are an intelligent supervising solution, being that they keep track of how many gallons of water are used in each facility they’re installed in.

By using a smart water monitor, homeowners and facility managers alike can closely monitor their water use, watch for overuse patterns, and view the success rates of different water-saving ventures.

Smart Lighting

Another effective smart device that can be utilized in bathroom technology is power-saving smart lighting. Both energy-saving LED bulbs and motion-detecting on/off settings can prevent the overuse of energy in restroom facilities.

Motion detecting lights have become exceptional in detecting even the slightest movement, meaning that they provide safe, effective lighting when the restroom is occupied and will turn off when the bathroom is vacant.

Smart technology seeks to improve cleanliness, utility usage, and convenience across many modes of everyday living. As technology advances, so will the benefits it presents to company managers, public facilities, and homeowners who want to take advantage of more innovative, cleaner restrooms.

Utilizing Technology to Improve Custodial Operations and Facilities Management

TRAX Analytics

November 9, 2021

Many large-capacity facilities are taking advantage of the benefits that technological innovation presents in maintaining cleanliness. Ensuring that custodial staff is promptly dispatched to the correct location has often been a struggle for facility managers. Because of limited staff and high traffic, custodial teams often struggle to keep heavily-used areas adequately clean and stocked.

The use of technology has corrected many of these struggles.

For example, implementing smart restroom technology has worked to lighten the load of human custodial staff and decrease contamination opportunities in restroom facilities used by the majority of patrons.

Benefits of Custodial Technology

Implementing new technology into facility management is a venture that an increasing number of high-occupancy facilities are embracing.

Utilizing technology to improve custodial operations benefits both facility management and visiting patrons in the following ways:

Automatic maintenance notifications allow custodial staff to save time on inspecting facilities for breaks or other errors. When an issue is detected, the team is notified automatically.

Facility managers receive real-time alerts for areas in need of service so that efforts can be focused on cleaning and repairing facilities as quickly as possible.
Capacity monitoring indicates which restroom facilities are at their highest capacities, informing patrons of alternative solutions and indicating to custodial staff that extra care might be needed in high-capacity areas.
Refill notifications ensure that restrooms are always well-stocked, meaning that empty soap dispensers, empty paper towel dispensers, and overflowing trash bins have become a thing of the past.

In addition to these benefits, smart technology records logs of typical facility behaviors to predict and plan maintenance and cleaning protocols in ways that closely fit real-world facility behaviors.

This means that the technology utilized to keep facilities clean, working order collects information on patron occupancy and predicts when specific facility locations will likely need maintenance. This saves time and labor compared to depending on custodial staff to check each facility multiple times a day personally.

By utilizing technology and data analysis to improve custodial operations and facility management, high-capacity facilities can dispatch custodial staff to complete tasks based on need.

These efforts reduce the time spent by custodial staff on cleaning tasks in general. By using a demand-based approach, facilities can reduce their custodial costs while improving hygiene at the same time.

7 Ways Facilities Management Can Cut Costs

TRAX Analytics

November 2, 2021

Cost concerns and the development of reduction strategies are common across most industries, especially after struggling to maintain regular operations in the past year.

Fortunately, there are several steps that facility managers can take to not only reduce costs but to improve efficiency as well.

Take a look at the following ways that facilities can cut costs by managing custodial activity in restrooms, measuring performance, and monitoring maintenance records to produce sustainable results throughout the entire facility.

#1- Smart Restrooms

Implementing innovative restroom technology can help reduce energy costs, water usage, restroom occupancy, and cleaning maintenance times. Technologies like this can remind staff when trash bins are full, when the restrooms are at capacity, or when utilities need to be refilled.

By leveraging technology, management can turn restrooms into intelligent, data-collecting environments that improve operations efficiency, cleanliness, and overall guest experience.

#2- Predictive Maintenance Checklists

Management can reduce maintenance and repair costs by ensuring that essential maintenance is monitored and performed before an issue occurs. Creating a list of standard maintenance processes that need to be monitored (ex: light fixtures in working order, toilets flushing correctly) allows facilities to minimize costs that would arise should one of these utilities break and need complete repair.

Utilizing maintenance technology and data analysis can improve both custodial operations, the lifetime of utilities, and facility management as a whole.

#3- Energy Efficiency

Using energy-efficient lighting or water-saving restroom facilities can reduce costs by thousands of dollars each year. It’s one of the most effective steps that facility managers can take to minimize costs indefinitely.

#4- Task Automation

Automating an array of practical repetitive, time-consuming tasks can free up the availability of human staff members, allowing them to focus on more critical aspects of their jobs. Task automation practices can ensure precise performance, as well as reduce both cost and time investment.

#5- Reduce Employee Turnover

Employee turnover is one of the most significant expenses that many companies contend with each year. Creating a work environment that encourages employees to remain with the company is one of the most effective ways to cut costs related to hiring and training new employees.

#6- Occupancy-Based Ventilation

Occupancy-based ventilation is a considerable solution to reducing energy costs. With the assistance of predictive analytics software, facilities can determine when occupancy is low enough to minimize ventilation usage. This way, ventilation costs are best used depending on the time of day and the number of people visiting the area.

#7- Pay More Attention To HVAC

HVAC is one of the most costly utilities to repair or replace when something within the system breaks. However, when facilities adequately monitor their HVAC systems and maintain regular upkeep, the system will work more efficiently and reduce costs associated with breakdown. Setting up continuous monitoring for HVAC systems is recommended to stay on top of any system changes.

Reducing facility costs does not have to mean a reduction in
maintenance or quality. By utilizing available technologies and improving
already existing systems, facility management can cut costs on top of becoming
more efficient operations. Click here to see how TRAX
Analytics can help your facility reduce costs.

How No-Touch Technology is Boosting Restroom Hygiene

TRAX Analytics

October 22, 2021

As the world learned about the deadly Covid-19 virus, we also began to learn more about how these diseases are spread and how they cause infection. Infectious diseases like the coronavirus and the common flu are commonly transferred person to person through direct contact with other people, through the air, and when we contact surfaces that carry lingering bacteria.

As we all begin to venture forth back into the world, the need for more advanced hygienic practices are not only essential but also potentially life-saving.

Due to the extra attention given to safety precautions and the advancements in facilities automation, incorporating no-touch technologies into public lavatories is the future of cleanliness and hygiene.

Touchless Hand Dryers and Latest Technology Innovations

The likelihood of germs being transferred is 1000 times higher when your hands are wet. In the times of Covid-19, many people are refraining from touching a hand dryer due to the fear of coming in contact with the Covid-19 virus. Moreover, the alternative for hand dryers is paper towels, which create a mess of their own when they get wet. They might get clogged up in drains, spill out from trash cans and serve as a breeding ground for bacteria and viruses.

If we consider all the points above, a hand dryer becomes crucial for hygiene and safety. Below are some recent tech innovations that make a compelling case for installing them in your facilities:

Adjustable sound and speed control: Now, you can alter the speed and sound coming from the hand dryer. It is ideal for small restrooms where excessive sound can spoil the experience of other users.
Adjustable heat settings: The heat settings can be modified depending on your preference.
Low-power consumption: Cutting-edge hand dryer technology allows for a considerable reduction in power consumed. As a result, a hand dryer becomes a more lucrative option than a hand towel.

Importance of Touchless Dispensers and Latest Technology Innovations

Nearly 50% of foodborne diseases are caused because people fail to wash their hands or wash them incorrectly. Keeping hands clean by using hand sanitizers and soap is considered the best way to prevent the transfer of viruses through touch.

However, if you have to push the button of the dispenser, you might be transferring the virus onto your hands, which completely defeats the purpose of washing your hands in the first place. Investing in a touchless dispenser that incorporates all the latest technological innovations such as uniform quantity and infrared sensors will decrease the spread of deadly bacteria.

Dispensing in a uniform quantity: Hi-tech dispensers always release a constant amount of soap/water/sanitizer whenever you use them. As a result, there is less waste resulting in cost savings. This also provides the user with the right amount of liquid to wash or sanitize their hands, improving overall hygiene.
Preventing spillage with infrared sensors: The release and stop of the fluids are controlled with touchless sensors. The best dispensers use the latest IR technology to ensure that the release and stop mechanisms are timed correctly. Therefore, spillage in the surrounding area is minimized/eliminated, and restroom hygiene and safety are minimized.

Touchless technology is becoming more prevalent in today’s society. From car controls to essential house appliances, we can see this technology shaping the human experience differently. The power to create a safe and hygienic restroom utilizing the latest tech in facilities maintenance and custodial services creates an elevated user experience and cost savings for the company.

Smart Trends in Restroom Technology

TRAX Analytics

October 19, 2021

When COVID hit in early 2020, the technological revolution the world was already experiencing underwent a massive growth boom. As the world went behind face masks and loaded up on hand sanitizer, technology created for cleanliness and hygiene became one of the fastest developing industries. While we would all like to think every person washes their hands after using the restroom, that is arguably not the case. Thus, the need for more advanced measurement, compliance, and result driven data analysis grew within the custodial industry.

Whether in an airport restroom or using the facilities at a local gas station, patrons want to be sure they enter a safe and clean environment. With the advancement in new technologies being used in commercial restrooms, companies can manage custodial activity, measure performance, and monitor compliance to maintain sustainable cleanliness levels and produce positive user experiences.

Managing Custodial Activity

There are several aspects of creating a smart restroom, and software like TRAX Smart Restroom technology can be implemented to provide the best service and the cleanest facilities. This software can connect everything from touchless sensor data to user experience indicators and even sensors to manage safety concerns.

Touchless Sensors

Many restaurants, sports arenas, airports, and other commercial restrooms have invested in upgrading their facilities with touchless sensors for faucets, soap dispensers, and toilets. These upgrades allow for control over inventory management, resource conservation, and enhanced sanitary monitoring.

Before the arrival of the COVID-19 virus, most of us gave very little thought to turning on a faucet or opening a door, but now the potential for harmful pathogens has created a demand for a more hands-free approach in public areas. In addition to creating a touch-free environment, innovative bathroom technology can also monitor inventory levels and alert custodial staff when supplies need replenishing. Having connected dispensers gives facility management teams the resources to monitor usage trends and equip cleaners with the proper tools required to perform their task efficiently.

Cleaners can also understand their inventory needs by having information available at their fingertips in restroom performance. Knowing when soap, toilet paper, and paper towels are running low allows for more control over reducing waste management and ensuring a steady replenishment schedule. With the technology and sensors to monitor supplies, custodial services can anticipate the needs of their facility.

User Experience Indicators

Ensuring that users have a positive experience in a commercial facility usually follows the line of “no news is good news.” When using the restroom, patrons won’t notice when the bathrooms are clean, free of trash and offensive odors, or fully stocked in supplies, but they will notice if a restroom is dirty, smelly, or out of toilet paper.

While these tangible aspects are one of the main concerns in user experience, other qualities are just as important, even if they are unknown to the user. Monitoring traffic and vacancy timelines is a critical concern when scheduling restroom maintenance. Custodial management knows that planning regular cleaning and supply restocking around the busiest times will ensure that users will encounter fewer wait times and have more pleasant visits to the facilities.

TRAX Smart Restroom

State of the art facilities technologies can manage custodial activity, measure performance, and monitor compliance to deliver effective, efficient, and sustainable results across your facility. TRAX Smart Restroom technology can assist with tasks performed, inventory control, analytical reports, and real-time alerts for areas in need of service and inspection results.

It’s time your company leveraged technology to turn each restroom into intelligent, data-collecting environments to improve operations efficiency, cleanliness, and overall guest experience.

Get insight into the status of restrooms and create demand-based cleanings with predictive, real-time, and historical data analysis. Click here to learn more about how to improve your restroom facility.

Airports Picks Smart Technologies to Enhance Restrooms Experience

TRAX Analytics

September 14, 2021

Airports adopting ‘smart’ technologies, such as sensors and automatic locks, are finding they can cut costs in managing restroom facilities. A growing number of airports are deploying similar automatic technologies to improve the cleanliness of the restrooms while ensuring higher customer satisfaction and lower operating costs.

One of the most notable upgrades is that of TRAX Analytics system. Airports adopting smart restroom system find it easier to keep a foot count of the visitors, get customer feedback, and even alert the supervisors whenever required.

Following the suit of Houston Airport System, many other airports in the United States like Atlanta, New York, Dallas, San Jose and Tampa have approved and employed analytics system to turnaround the standards of maintenance.

What makes a Restroom a ‘Smart’ Restroom?

Smart airports are the ones that coexist with technologies like GISP and IoT in order to digitally support and perform operations like passenger flows, staff duties, staff activities, etc. One of the most important component of a ‘smart’ airport is a ‘smart’ restroom.

It is known that over 80% of the passengers judge the maintenance of an airport by the looks and feel of its restroom.

The components that generally make a restroom ‘smart’ are:

Optimizing refills – So that there’s no shortage of towels or soap at any time.
Maintenance notifications – Airport employees or restroom custodians now don’t need to check if anything is needed or falling short in the restroom. All they need to do is attend to the call of notification on their smart devices or wearables.
Monitoring presence – To avoid queues in general, or even know when a cubicle is free or taken, smart devices can help determine the right time to go to the restroom.
Reporting non-permitted activities – By detecting non-permitted activities in certain area, smart restroom can alert whenever there is smoke in the area.
Smart Restrooms can also notify whenever the bins are full so that can be taken care of.
Predictive analytics can be provided by smart restrooms based on real time information being monitored.

Shocking Statistics

According to a report by Airport Councils International, 2017, the cleanliness of restrooms counts as the most important satisfaction metric relating to an airport’s infrastructure. The other factors include airport’s ambience, cleanliness of its terminals, and availability of restrooms.

Benefits of Smart Restrooms

A growing number of airports have found ways to cut their custodial costs by improving environmental safety in restrooms; increasing operational efficiency and capacity utilization – leading to an overall reduction in resource consumption.
Airports will be able to monitor visitor traffic throughout facilities using motion detectors; cameras that record when fixtures are used; and heat sensors or footfall statistics for outdoor areas.
A central data collection system also provides information on water use for each fixture including its location, user count, and more.
It reduces time spent by custodians on cleaning tasks including sweeping and mopping by using a demand based approach; it also monitors waste levels to optimize garbage disposal, and reduce water consumption.
Airports deploying restroom solutions help improve hygiene are reducing costs in managing restroom facilities as well as other non-core assets across the airport.
