The deployment of Sparkoz's TN70 and TN10 autonomous cleaning robots at Katherine Newport Middle School has been a resounding success. Sparkoz's solutions have truly revolutionized the way cleaning is done at Katherine Newport Middle School, setting a new standard for hygiene and efficiency in educational institutions.
BACKGROUND
Katherine Newport Middle School, located in a suburban area, faces unique challenges in maintaining a clean and hygienic environment for its students and staff. With various areas such as classrooms, labs, libraries, gyms, and dining halls, the school requires consistent and thorough cleaning to ensure a healthy learning atmosphere. However, traditional cleaning methods relying heavily on manual labor were becoming increasingly unsustainable due to rising labor costs, quality inconsistencies, and inefficient cleaning cycles.
CHALLENGES
◉ High Labor Costs: The increasing cost of hiring and retaining cleaning staff posed a significant financial burden on the school.
◉ Quality Inconsistencies: Manual cleaning often resulted in variable cleaning standards, with some areas being overlooked or not cleaned thoroughly.
◉ Inefficient Cleaning Cycles: The large size and diverse layout of the school made it difficult to clean all areas effectively within a limited timeframe.
◉ Demanding Cleanliness Standards: High-traffic areas and sensitive environments like labs and libraries required frequent and specialized cleaning.
◉ Impact on Learning: Cleaning during school hours could disturb students' learning, while cleaning after hours increased the workload for staff.
◉ Scalability Issues: Manual cleaning methods were not scalable to meet the growing needs of the school as it expanded.
