Abstract:
Systems and methods for monitoring the cleaning conditions of a facility include the use of a cleaning apparatus with a tracking device. The tracking device is adapted to detect an operating parameter of the cleaning apparatus. In embodiments, the operating parameter includes at least one of the location of the cleaning apparatus within a facility over time, the movement of the cleaning apparatus, and the dynamic coefficient of friction encountered by a cleaning head of the cleaning apparatus as it traverses a surface being cleaned in the facility.

Claim (Index 13):
The method of monitoring according to  claim 12 , further comprising:\n monitoring movement of the cleaning apparatus within the facility using a tracking assembly, the tracking assembly including a first tracking unit and a plurality of second tracking units, the first tracking unit associated with the cleaning apparatus, and the second tracking units located in spaced relationship to each other within the facility, wherein:\n each second tracking unit interacts with the first tracking unit to detect when the cleaning apparatus is within a detection area of the respective second tracking unit, \n the second tracking units transmit to the processor location data concerning the cleaning apparatus based upon the location signal received from the first tracking unit, and \n the processor executes computer executable instructions stored on the non-transitory computer-readable medium to determine the location of the cleaning apparatus within the facility over time; \n using the processor to execute computer executable instructions stored on the non-transitory computer-readable medium to determine whether a predetermined cleaning operation was performed by the cleaning apparatus within a specified time schedule based upon the determined location of the cleaning apparatus within the facility over time.
