Kimberly-Clark Launches Onvation® SmartFit™ Technology

In a groundbreaking move for commercial restroom management, Kimberly-Clark Professional has introduced the Onvation® SmartFit™ technology. This innovative solution centers around a small, internet-enabled sensor designed to fit inside various paper towel and bath tissue dispensers. By utilizing real-time data, it equips restroom facility managers with the tools they need to enhance operational efficiency, minimize waste, and elevate the customer experience.

A New Standard in Restroom Management

Susan Gambardella, President of Kimberly-Clark Professional, emphasized the significance of restrooms in any facility. "Restrooms are one of the most scrutinized areas of any facility," she stated. The Onvation SmartFit technology delivers a comprehensive service bundle that boosts efficiency, addresses complaints before they occur, reduces waste, and ultimately improves the experience for guests.

The Onvation system is already recognized in the industry for smart restroom management, incorporating SCOTT® towels, bath tissue, and PURELL® hand soap. The addition of SmartFit™ technology broadens the possibilities, compatible with various dispenser types including Kimberly-Clark's ICON® and SCOTT PRO® collections, along with certain universal dispensers.

How It Works

The installation process for the sensors is straightforward. These sensors not only monitor paper product levels but also track restroom traffic, providing invaluable predictive data insights. This eliminates the uncertainty often associated with restroom servicing. With a two-year battery life and Time of Flight Technology, the sensors ensure precision in measuring product levels in real time.

Facility staff can access this information through a mobile app, streamlining the process of maintaining cleanliness and readiness in restrooms. "Everything about this sensor was intentionally designed to better meet facility manager's needs," remarked Iris Schumacher, Director of Restroom RD at Kimberly-Clark Professional. The sensor's slim shape, rounded edges, and ergonomic features facilitate accurate and unobtrusive installation.

A recent study revealed that a staggering 79% of decision-makers are looking to invest in advanced technologies to optimize facility management. The Onvation SmartFit technology directly responds to this demand, leveraging Kimberly-Clark Professional’s rich legacy of transforming insights into practical solutions that enhance daily operations.
