Even though the pandemic has already faded from the world around, hygiene is still a critical demand closely bounding up with people from all walks of life. Restrooms as an indispensable infrastructure that values hygiene play a vital role, especially in public areas such as shopping malls, department stores, airports, railway stations, commercial buildings, and scenic spots. With the development of living standards and technologies, the demerits of conventional restrooms have been increasingly emerging. Both usage and management are facing challenges and urgently needed to be upgraded. The Milesight Smart Restroom solution will undoubtedly keep up with demands with sensing technologies and even drive the restroom performance to a new level.

What Problems A Conventional Restroom Is Facing

A conventional restroom is a basic facility that typically includes standard fixtures such as cubicles, sinks, ventilating system, etc. It is typically designed for basic functionality rather than featuring the latest technologies to bring better user experience and advanced functionalities. Most public restrooms have a rather bad reputation when it comes to user experience and hygiene. Since most restrooms rely on limited manpower to do management and cleaning, it is hard to realize high efficiency and will leave various problems beyond doubt.

• For User Experience:

Unclear occupancy conditions that may cause troubles especially when in a hurry;

The restrooms are full of smell odors that do not be handled in time;

Be trapped in a bad environment with leakage;

Be trapped in a bad environment with overflowing garbage;

Be in the awkward situation with no toilet paper left on the box;

.......

• For Management

High labor cost with low efficiency;

Scattered information with no integrated and effective information networking formed;

The resource can not be reasonably allocated;

The cleaning can be arranged efficiently and reasonably;

Unclear to fill level monitoring and supply arrangement;

Bad using environments with overmuch complaints;

Energy wasting and inefficient management;

........
