The Intervention of IoTs in the Hospitality Sector
The Role of Technology in Hygiene and Sanitation
The hospitality industry is still reeling from the effects of the pandemic in terms of revenue and safety.
This setback is tied to the tremendous impact of the pandemic on the tourism industry worldwide as well as travel restrictions and closures of transportation.
In minimizing human contact and maximizing cleaning and sanitization, it is without a doubt that the industry needs a helping hand to get the job done most efficiently and effectively possible.
The Internet of Things (IoT) is an emerging paradigm that enables the communication between electronic devices and sensors through the internet to facilitate our lives.
The need to adopt innovative ideas and implement the IoTs will help in reassuring customers of a more hygienic environment than ever in the hospitality industry.
Taking this into account, some cleaning-based technologies have gained immense popularity in the hospitality sector. Examples are UV-C Lights, air purifiers, robot cleaners, virus-killing robots, electrostatic Sprayers, clean tracker technology, sanitunnels, contactless solution based on sensors, automatic soap dispensers, jet hand dryers etc.
The advantages of these innovations include helping facility management in cutting down costs and keeping all preparations under the budget without hampering the environment. It also gives time to the staff to be more vigilant in terms of hygiene inspections and sanitary requirements.
Hoteliers must ensure that maintaining proper hygiene is not only for the aesthetics of the property. The health and safety of guests is a priority.
