Case study · Connected hygiene
Hygiene data from
every dispenser
SmartDes is a network of connected sanitizer dispensers that tracks hygiene usage in real time. It was rolled out across Norway during COVID-19.
No way to see if
hygiene was happening
During the pandemic, hand hygiene mattered more than ever — but facility managers could not tell whether dispensers were being used, or when they ran empty.
MediClean needed reliable usage data from every dispenser, across healthcare and business sites throughout Norway, on a pandemic timeline.
How we built it,
phase by phase
Connected hardware and a cloud platform were built in parallel, so dispensers could be deployed and reporting as fast as sites needed them.
Count every use
Sensing designed around the dispenser itself, so each use is recorded without changing how people use it.
Connected, low-maintenance electronics
Electronics that report usage reliably and need as little attention from facility staff as possible.
Built for a fast rollout
Hardware prepared for volume deployment across many sites at once.
Data sites can act on
Real-time usage patterns in the cloud, giving healthcare and business sites data-backed hygiene decisions.
SmartDes gave us visibility we never had before. We could track hygiene usage patterns in real time and support healthcare and business sites with data-backed decisions.
