Housekeeping
• Cost effective practices like "FIFO (First In First Out)", “just in time” to
prevent unnecessary wastage.
5. Internet of things
The internet and technology are slowly making its way into the
housekeeping division as well. Devices can read the air quality, dosing
and even disposal of waste through smartphones or tablets. Sensors on
the devices analyse data to predict traffic and peak hours according to
which the cleaning staff can implement their schedule. Devices and
smart systems also provide alerts when dispensers are lacking stock
thus helping the restroom management to maintain a wall-to-wall
bathroom for effective use. For example, a restroom monitoring system
named WandaNEXT which is completely computerised provides details
such as time of previous servicing and alerts to cleaning staff regarding
low stock and cleanliness. Forecasting of peak hours is also a possibility
which helps in maintaining standards. Another revolutionary step is
inserting chips created by Linen Technology Tracking chips in clothing
substances (pillows, duvets, towels) where a sensor will alert the
personnel upon taking it off premises.
