A sensor in the dispenser continuously measures the consumption of the towel roll (or toilet paper roll). Information on the roll’s availability is gathered in a cloud service which is managed by Lindström. Information on the roll running out is transferred from the cloud service to the mobile phone of a cleaner, who can change the roll at the appropriate time. This enables anticipation of the cleaning need and helps to eliminate unnecessary inspection visits and the checking of dispenser levels. A study has found that washroom inspection rounds can be reduced by over 40%* through smart technology*. The service aims to quarantee the best possible user experience for washroom visitors.
