Onvation® with SmartFit™ technology, offers commercial
restroom facility managers an easy approach to enhance efficiency,
reduce waste and improve the guest experience, now with more
flexibility than ever.
ROSWELL,
Ga., March 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/
-- Kimberly-Clark Professional introduced a customer-centric
innovation called Onvation® SmartFit™ technology consisting of a
small, internet-enabled sensor that fits inside paper towel and
bath tissue dispensers to provide real-time data that helps
commercial facility managers schedule janitorial staff more
efficiently and reduce waste.
"Restrooms are one of the most scrutinized areas of any
facility," said Susan Gambardella,
President, Kimberly-Clark Professional. "With Onvation SmartFit, we
offer customers a valuable service bundle to enhance efficiency,
prevent complaints, reduce waste and improve the guest
experience."
Onvation was already known in the industry as a smart restroom
management system featuring SCOTT® towel and bath
tissue and PURELL® hand soap. Now, the compact
SmartFit™ technology expands that capability to include a wider
range of dispenser types including Kimberly-Clark Professional's
ICON®, SCOTT PRO® dispenser collections and select universal
dispensers.
The easily installed sensor tracks paper product levels and
restroom traffic, providing predictive data-based insights that
eliminate guesswork from restroom servicing. Sensors use Time of
Flight Technology to measure product levels in real time, are
flexible to be used in many dispensers, and have a two-year battery
life. With advanced analytics and an intuitive interface, Onvation
works with a mobile app to let the facility's staff know where they
are needed most to ensure every restroom remains clean, stocked and
running smoothly.
"Everything about this sensor was intentionally designed to
better meet facility manager's needs," said Iris Schumacher, Director Restroom R&D,
Kimberly-Clark Professional. "The thin sensor surface, rounded
profile to minimize interference upon installation, and
ergonomically designed features ensure precise and accurate
placement to deliver an enhanced smart room management
experience."
According to a recent study, 79% of decision-makers are already
investing or planning to invest in technology to optimize facility
management.1 Onvation capitalizes on Kimberly-Clark
Professional's rich history as an industry leader that transforms
such insights and technologies into products that improve
lives.
