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 1):
A system for monitoring a cleaning condition of a facility, the system comprising:\n a cleaning apparatus; a tracking assembly, the tracking assembly configured to monitor movement of the cleaning apparatus within the facility, the tracking assembly including a first tracking unit and a plurality of second tracking units, the first tracking unit associated with the cleaning apparatus, the first tracking unit configured to wirelessly emit a location signal, and the second tracking units located in spaced relationship to each other within the facility, each second tracking unit configured to interact with the first tracking unit to detect when the cleaning apparatus is within a detection area of the respective second tracking unit, the second tracking units configured to transmit location data concerning the cleaning apparatus; a non-transitory computer-readable medium, the non-transitory computer-readable medium bearing a floor condition tracking program; a processor, the processor in operable arrangement with the second tracking units to receive the location data therefrom and in operable arrangement with the non-transitory, computer-readable medium, the processor configured to execute the floor condition tracking program contained on the non-transitory computer-readable medium; wherein the floor condition tracking program includes a tracking module configured to analyze the location data from the second tracking units to determine whether a predetermined cleaning operation was performed within a specified time schedule.
