A public restroom is a typical scattered-facility scenario: many locations, uneven frequency of use, and a fast-changing environment, and cleaning staff, equipment maintenance staff, and managers often lack real-time coordination. From public-facility scenarios, Tongwei Smart draws out methods of acquisition, notification, handling, and review in multi-site operations. Experience that Tongwei Smart accumulated in the past in public-facility scenarios such as smart toilets illustrates a basic rule of multi-site operations: on-site sensing is only the start, and the operations closed loop is what decides the service experience.
In this kind of scenario, environment, equipment, water and electricity use, access control, or related status information can be acquired and presented. When an anomaly or a service need appears, the system needs to be able to send the reminder to the corresponding person, and to record the later handling, inspection, and feedback. What managers watch should not be only whether a single point is online. It also includes whether a site has had the same problem for a long time, whether tasks are completed on time, and whether limited people are being used at high-frequency and high-risk locations.
This logic does not apply only to restrooms. Park plant rooms, chain stores, equipment rooms, pump rooms, power distribution rooms, charging sites, and all other scattered scenarios have a similar problem: the equipment and environment objects differ, but the basic actions of operations management are the same, namely building a ledger, identifying anomalies, reaching the responsible person, dispatching the handling, feeding back and closing, and reviewing through reports.
Tongwei Smart focuses today on remote operations for industrial equipment precisely in order to turn these "acquisition-judgment-notification-handling-review" capabilities, already verified in different scenarios, into products: a remote after-sales package for equipment manufacturers, a multi-site smart operations package, and an energy management package. Industries differ, and product boundaries and point configuration can differ, but what can actually be replicated is the operations process.
For operators of public facilities, becoming smart should not only mean adding more equipment. Start from one service pain point, for example slow reporting of anomalies, cleaning inspections that are hard to verify, or a repair process with no record, and build a closed loop the team can keep using over the long term. Only then can the technology actually turn into stable service.
