Schedules Be Gone: The Financial and Environmental Opportunity in Enabling Smart Cleaning

Monday, October 10 · 1:30 PM - 2:30 PM

Facility Management and Operations depend on schedules to direct custodial staff and related resources. And yet, we run these operations whether a space is at low, medium or full capacity leading to wasted labor, energy and consumable costs. With the advent of sensor systems able to calculate and report occupancy in real time, there is a large opportunity to move away from schedule-based cleaning and instead use actual occupancy and traffic data for smarter cleaning operations. This session will discuss the technology involved and present some case studies followed by a panel of experts that have implemented such applications with time for Q&A.
