GP PRO Unveils KOLO Smart Monitoring System 2.0
In a significant advancement for restroom management, GP PRO has introduced the KOLO Smart Monitoring System 2.0. This cutting-edge system is designed to transform facility operations, enhance the user experience, and achieve greater efficiency in custodial tasks while maintaining sustainability.
Streamlined Facility Management
The KOLO System 2.0 integrates innovative hardware, software, and networking solutions that simplify facility management, making it more effective and time-efficient. One of its standout features is the assurance that
99.5% of dispensers are consistently stocked, drastically cutting down unnecessary checks by
95%. With the ability to maximize productivity, the system promotes a near-zero waste environment where 100% product usage is standard.
Enhanced Connectivity and Security
At the heart of KOLO System 2.0 lies
MachineQ, a Comcast Company, which provides enhanced connectivity through its latest
Area 8c Gateway. This advanced technology enables secure, enterprise-grade connectivity across expansive facilities, efficiently processing large volumes of sensor data from GP PRO dispensers. With the ability to connect up to
10,000 devices via
LoRaWAN® technology, installations are made simpler, reducing the complexity traditionally associated with similar systems.
Furthermore, the design updates found in the KOLO System 2.0 have led to a reduction of up to
20% in the number of battery-powered devices, promoting cost-effectiveness and supporting sustainability initiatives by lowering battery waste. The enhanced security measures, including end-to-end encryption, ensure safe data transmission, further solidifying user trust in the system's reliability.
User-Friendly Functionality
Navigation and analytics have been upgraded in the KOLO System 2.0, featuring a user-friendly interface with universally recognizable icons. This design allows custodial staff and facility managers to communicate and collaborate effectively, even across multilingual teams. Self-service analytics empower users to conduct their evaluations, supported by input from GP PRO customer success managers for those needing expert guidance.
Data-Driven Cleaning
Utilized by various high-traffic environments such as airports, stadiums, office buildings, and educational institutions, the KOLO Smart Monitoring System has proven its worth. Real-time insights and alerts delivered directly to mobile devices provide essential usage data, maintenance updates, and eco-friendly measures by drastically reducing product outages and waste.
For instance,
Sage Realty, a commercial real estate firm in Manhattan, finds the KOLO System integral to their promise of exceptional tenant experiences. Alec Fomin, the director of tenant experience, remarked, "Having a platform like KOLO Smart Monitoring System invisibly operating in the background but instructing the operational excellence we need is a huge aid for us."
Industry Recognition and Future Endeavors
GP PRO is set to showcase its innovative technologies, including the KOLO System 2.0, at the upcoming
ISSA conference in Las Vegas from
November 11-13. Attendees can expect to see detailed presentations on the KOLO enhancements, along with other innovations that prioritize ease and impact in maintenance practices. Additionally, the
Dixie Ultra® SmartStock® Mini Tri-Tower Cutlery Station, a nominee for an ISSA innovation award, will also be highlighted during the event.
The KOLO System not only exemplifies GP PRO's commitment to innovation but also sets a new benchmark for smart restroom management. With these upgrades, facilities can anticipate accelerated operational excellence, thus enhancing overall customer satisfaction while effectively managing resources.
