Restroom Signage and Cleaning at Airports

Used-based cleaning and occupancy notices require restroom signage for passengers, and real-time data operators can use to manage janitorial staff.

Challenge

A dirty restroom can leave a lasting negative impression about an airport, as can overcrowded sanitation facilities. Many airports rely on timed schedules for bathroom cleaning and leave occupancy management to the passengers themselves. Airport operators focused on improving all facets of the visitor experience are looking for robust, real-time solutions that can:

Notify staff when restroom visitors have exceeded a certain threshold
Keep visitors informed of restroom occupancy and availability
Deliver objective, confidential data concerning visitor flows

Solution

Though most commonly associated with other airport touchpoints, such as security checks and passport control, a Passenger Flow Management System (PFMS) can also be deployed at an airport terminal’s sanitation facilities. The same features that make a PFMS crucial for measuring performance critical process—accuracy, objectivity, real-time data processing—are also vital for facility maintenance.

Operating alone or fit within an integrated signage strategy, a PFMS can help operators:

Ensure that deployment of janitorial staff matches actual need
Empower passengers to seek alternatives in the case of occupied facilities
Improving planning and reporting with accurate historical data

Upgrading from Xovis' on-premises solution to the managed AERO service will help Carrasco International Airport reduce wait times and improve passenger throughput.
