Dynamic CleaningBuilding activity insight throughreal-time sensor data

IntelligentInsight.Traditional cleaning solutions typically have fixed contractual costs based on building measurements regardless of occupancy, seasonality, or flexible working.Bidvest Noonan is leading the way in using data from sensor technologies to deliver a more innovative cleaning solution. A powerful reporting dashboardindicates peaks and troughs of activity, enabling our management teams to eliminate ineciencies, create cost savings and improve quality by matching cleaning resources to areas of activity.Our sensor system also provides powerful data-driven insights to create energy eciencies, environmental benefits and improved building space management for clients.Introduction

Product BriefDemand driven cleaning solutionTraditionally, integrated cleaning solutions have been designed and costed using fixed data such as:• building measurements• recommended cleaning specifications and best practice• historic volumetric data• existing providers’ employeehours (TUPE)The traditional method has ineciencies as many buildings are not fully utilised every day. More employees are now working flexibly from dierent locations. Visitor numbers and building occupancy may also vary over time. Dynamic Cleaning solves this problem - unnecessary cleaning of unoccupied spaces can be removed, with resources redeployed to where they are needed most.The graphic below shows how a building usage may pulse over any given period.The chart shows how a traditional fixed cleaning solution of 100 hours per week has been reduced to 85 hours per week by eliminating unnecessary cleaning through a dynamic cleaning solution using sensor technology.With a dynamic cleaning solution, the building activity levels are regularly reviewed and the cleaning solution is flexed to changes in requirements within a building.Typical site cleaning solution re-engineered using dataTypical daily hours of use of buildingCurrent cleaning hours set at 100 hours per weekProposed cleaning hours based on data collected - 85 hours per weekService DemandDaily Timeline

How it worksBidvest Noonan uses a wireless solution that requires no connection to the client LAN or WAN. The sensors detect motion, temperature, light and humidity levels within the detection area. The data collected is entirely anonymous, providing information only on a specific area and not the individuals in that space.Communication between the sensors and the gateway router is via LoRaWAN wireless technology which facilitates long range communication at a frequency of 868MHz.Sensors are battery powered with a battery life of 7-10 years thus requiring no hard wiring norregular battery replacements. Battery life is monitored remotely. Sensors are mounted to the building fabric using 5Kg rated adhesive strips. They can be easily removed or relocated if the need arises.LTE 4G240 voltsrequiredBattery powered.No wiring required.LoRa 868 MHzOccupancyLightingTemperatureHumidityLoRaWAN NetworkThe LoRaWAN gateway requires only a 240V power connection as it connects to the internet via a 4G SIM. No ethernet or WiFi connection is required to be provided by the client. This ensures that network separation between the Bidvest Noonan solution and the client LAN/WAN is absolute. Data from the sensors is sent to a cloud portal where it can be accessed by the end user via a web dashboard interface. Reports can also be sent regularly if preferred.The TechnologySensorsGatewayDataData storedin the cloudLoRaWAN Gateway Sensors Collect DataSystem installation and configuration is completed in 1 week.

Web Based DashboardThe standard suite of dashboard reports has the following key features:• Required Hours report displays the amount of required cleaning hours based on building occupancy levels verses the current hours.• Trend Analysis reports provide a guide of where to reduce or reallocate hours.• Cleaning Schedule report can be used to provide out of hours teams with daily cleaning schedules.• Room Utilisation report displays the average occupancy % level for each room type.• Reactive alerts improves Janitorial response times.• Room Temperature and Light reports identify energy ineciencies.

Benefits Summary5% to 10% minimum cost savings expected.Improved service quality with resources deployed to where they are needed most.Reactive janitorial service through system alerts.Potential energy savings through temperature and light eciencies. User friendly dashboard portal. Deployment of sensors is scalable, ranging from ‘washrooms only’ up to ‘full building cover’.Additional technologies can be added to the network,such as, desk occupancy, water flow meters, air quality monitoring etc.Powerful added value space management information for clients e.g. meeting room occupancy %, average room temperatures, seasonality trends, etc.
