ONE GETS to hear this statement often at deliberations: “The future of the cleaning business is fantastic”… But, there is a distinct change, as now they say “the future is robotic”!
The pronounced use of Internet of Things across different industries has had its impact on the cleaning segment too. The increased participation of software companies at the CMS Berlin show was immediately visible, indicating a new era in the cleaning and facility services business.
Germany traditionally has been one of the major producers of cleaning products and many more are entering this market. Feeding majorly the local and European markets, besides the US, the UK and other Far East countries, manufacturers are looking at newer fast growing economies like India. Cleaning machines & equipment and cleaning, disinfecting and hygiene care products on display at CMS Berlin had many innovative factors which could be customized to suit various applications in India.
Some of the distinct innovative features include ecologically safe products for dispelling bad odours with natural smells, paper and soap dispensers with elegant designer articles, hygiene sensitive sensoroperated devices, far-reaching tools, sustainable and energy efficient machines, optimum use cleaning agents, unique robotic scrubber-cleaner, sweeper powered by a lithium-ion battery, better ergonomics and ease of operation equipment, Stingray system for inside cleaning of windows, devices to access areas that previously could only be cleaned by hand, new design daytime cleaning machines for noise-sensitive areas, and new apps for operating devices in new ways, for instance with a smartphone or tablet PC.
More than 20,000 representatives attended the CMS exhibition at Berlin, including some 17,000 trade visitors from 66 countries. The high point on the opening day was the presentation of the CMS Purus Awards. The winners of the awards for good design were Kärcher (Brand Communication), Nilfisk (Machines), SCA (Washroom Hygiene) and Vileda (Equipment).
