Sanitation
Standards

Pick the right smart restroom solution to build the
best solution for your airport.
UNDER THE current conditions of our country and
around the world, the importance of not only
maintaining but strengthening our sanitation
standards have been thrust to the forefront of public
discourse. With thousands of individuals flying in
and out of airports from places around the globe,
and utilizing their facilities, they are undoubtedly
viewed as spaces that require extra attention and
care due to their consistent exposure.
In addition, one of the most
common areas we can identify for
the spread of germs is a restroom.
Consequently, airport stakeholders are
quickly recognizing that clean, crowded
restrooms are not only a significant
aspect of the travel experience, they are
becoming a huge factor in whether a
passenger likes an airport.

Therefore, several questions are now
being considered in ways they may not
have been before, including:
* How often are our restrooms cleaned
and sanitized, and how often should
they be?
* How often do products need to be
restocked to provide the most sanitary
customer experience?
* How many people are using our
facilities and how often?
* How could this data impact our
extensive cleaning strategy and
everyday activities?
As we look to address these
concerns, we consider the increased use
of technology to extract, analyze, and
employ data wherever and whenever
possible in these facilities.

smart restroom technology has the ability
