The solution developed by Haltian and Lindström is based on Haltian's new Thingsee IoT devices platform. The Thingsee platform allows new IoT solutions to reach commercial maturity faster and easier by offering customisable IoT devices with managed data layer services. The platform is completed with plug and play IoT devices, solutions, customisation services and lifecycle services – providing customers a smooth journey from ideas to commercial operations.
"Retrofitting wireless sensors to existing company assets and processes is a fast-growing business. We have now more than 25 active pilots running globally in industries varying from manufacturing to asset tracking and facility management. Our growing device and service portfolio provides a good starting point for building new IoT solutions. We can easily customise the whole platform, starting from simple device application development to a fully customised new sensor device," said Pasi Leipälä, CEO, Haltian.
Together with Haltian Thingsee and Wirepas Mesh, Lindström has created a new service offering called Flowability Smart Washroom Service. The solution offers two-way communication and location information and provides reliable wireless connectivity for Lindström Group customers across their facilities. With this smart solution, Lindström increases efficiency by cutting waste and channeling work in a smarter way, thereby decreasing costs.
The Flowability Smart Washroom Service will be installed in shopping centres, hospitals and other public spaces to mention a few. A sensor retrofitted to the towel dispenser measures towel usage in real time. The sensor sends notifications to a site maintenance team when it is necessary to change towel rolls, which helps in planning work more efficiently and in decreasing costs.
"Washroom cleanliness affects the choice of shopping venue and even increases the value of purchases. With Haltian's solution we save both money and time and keep our customers happy. All of these make it possible to improve the customer experience," says Satu Haikarainen, Director, Service Concept, at Lindström. (RR)
