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,” says 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,” says 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.
