People Counters for Optimising Facility Cleaning

Maintaining clean and hygienic public bathrooms and other building facilities are essential for ensuring the health and safety of visitors. But it can be challenging for facility managers and cleaning staff to keep up with the high traffic and varying usage patterns of these areas. The EvolvePlus people counters can be implemented as an effective tool for optimising cleaning in public restrooms and other facility spaces.

The EvolvePlus people counters detect and count the number of people entering and exiting a designated area. These sensors can be installed in entryways or above doorways of public restrooms to provide valuable insights into the usage. This data can then be used to develop cleaning schedules tailored to each restroom's specific needs.

By analysing the foot traffic data collected by the people counters within the EvolvePlus Cloud Dashboard, facility managers and cleaning contractors can determine the busiest times of the day for the restroom. This information can be used to optimise cleaning schedules, ensuring that the restroom is cleaned at the appropriate intervals to maintain a high level of hygiene. For example, if the data shows that a particular restroom experiences a surge in foot traffic during lunch hours, the cleaning schedule can be adjusted accordingly to ensure that the restroom is cleaned more frequently during this time.

Our people counters can also help cleaning staff allocate their time and resources more efficiently. By tracking the number of people entering and exiting a restroom, cleaning staff can prioritise their tasks based on usage patterns. For example, if the EvolvePlus Dashboard shows that a toilet is frequently used for short periods of time, it may be more effective to clean the restroom more regularly but for shorter periods of time. This ensures that the restroom is always clean and available for use, while minimising the time and effort required to clean it. The EvolvePlus Dashboard can also be used to allocate resources more effectively and ensure that the most heavily used restrooms receive the attention they need.

In addition to accuracy, privacy is essential for many organisations implementing our people counters to ensure they remain compliant with the relevant GDPR and Australian data privacy regulations. Our horizontal wireless and overhead infrared models are  ideal for anonymous traffic monitoring without using cameras or capturing personal data.
