‘Working smarter’ message received

The Tork (SCA Hygiene Products) stand took the theme “Working Smarter” with Tork EasyCube taking centre stage. Tork EasyCube “connects” washrooms and enables cleaners to check via a smartphone or tablet when a dispenser needs refilling or when extra cleaning might be required.

When combined with dispensers that are designed to naturally reduce consumption, Tork EasyCube can help keep maintenance checks and labour costs down to a minimum.

“We were hugely encouraged by the Cleaning Show visitors’ reaction to Tork EasyCube,” Tork FM sector sales manager Stuart Hands said. “People absolutely got the ‘Working Smarter’ message and realised how smart solutions could help them reduce their spend instead of just their costs. Tork EasyCube is all about adding value. It helps people to manage a very valuable resource – namely, their staff.”

Tork EasyCube works via sensors fitted inside Tork dispensers and visitor registration units. These gather data on refill levels and washroom use so that cleaners can check via the internet from anywhere when supplies of soap, hand towels or toilet tissue are running low or when washroom traffic is particularly high. They can then respond by targeting the specific washroom where a maintenance visit is needed.

Tork EasyCube is compatible with most existing Tork dispensers including the complete Tork Image Design Line and most Tork Elevation units. The system has been installed in theme parks, zoos, sports centres and airports across Europe.

Also on show on the Tork Cleaning Show stand were the Tork Matic Hand Towel Roll; the Tork Xpress Multifold Hand Towel; the Tork SmartOne Toilet Roll Dispenser; the Tork Twin Mid-Size Toilet Roll Dispenser and Tork Foam Soap.

“These products are all designed to naturally reduce consumption and minimise the number of washroom maintenance checks required,” Stuart said. “When combined with Tork EasyCube, these systems produce further reductions in labour costs while enabling staff to work smarter.”
