From Dumb, Energy-Hungry Dryers to Smart Solutions: How IoT Hand Dryers are Shaping the Future of Smart & Sustainable Facilities

Introduction: IoT connected devices are revolutionising energy management and maintenance in industries like security, FM, and HVAC. Memoori Research predicts the global market revenues arising from IoT in smart commercial buildings to rise to $82.7B by 2025 Sustainability has become a key concern across industries as we strive to meet NetZero targets and reduce our environmental impact. In commercial washrooms, the choice between paper towels and hand dryers can have a significant impact on carbon footprint, hygiene, cost, and customer experience. IoT hand dryers, or Smart hand dryers, are transforming the hand-drying and facilities management industry by using sensors and AI algorithms to provide real-time data to facility managers via smartphones or desktops. This creates smarter, more sustainable, and hygienic washrooms. Gatwick Airport saved 58.75% in energy savings compared to the previous dryer and operational savings of £185,000 by switching to the Savortex IoT hand dryers. This article will discuss how IoT hand dryers are transforming the hand drying and facility cleaning industry, delivering significant cost savings compared to traditional, inefficient dryers and paper towel solutions. We will also examine the future of the industry and the exciting developments that lie ahead. What are IoT Hand Dryers? Remember the movie Minority Report with Tom Cruise? It featured a technology that could predict and prevent crimes before they happened, leading to a crime-free city. While we may not yet have technology to prevent broken or energy-hungry hand dryers or messy washrooms from being a crime, IoT hand dryers are bringing us one step closer. With sensors that track motor health, washroom footfall, and energy usage, IoT hand dryers are giving facilities management teams real-time data to create high-performance washrooms that are always clean and hygienic. It’s a game-changer that finally delivers on the promise of smart technology working in tandem with FM teams to create sustainable and hygienic environments, transforming the user experience. Memoori research predicts that the IoT smart buildings market will be valued at £82bn by 2026. That means anyone serving this industry, from manufacturers to distributors and end users, will benefit hugely from this revolution. Don’t be left behind – join the movement towards smarter, more sustainable facilities management with IoT hand dryers. The Benefits of IoT Hand Dryers Conventional hand dryers use vacuum cleaning motors which guzzle energy; they are unhygienic due to bacteria build-up; however, most important, they are “dumb”, i.e. they can’t send energy, washroom footfall or performance data. Hence, the only way to identify product faults or dirty washrooms is through a customer complaint that impacts the overall customer experience and negatively impacts the building’s brand image. The Future of Smart & Sustainable Hand drying and Facilities. From smartphones to smart cars, the smart hand dryer revolution is here, so workplaces and businesses can thrive! In a world where sustainability is increasingly becoming a top priority, smart hand dryers are revolutionising the washroom experience. With sensors and algorithms (AI) incorporated into their design, IoT hand dryers provide real-time product health and washroom usage data to facility managers. As a result, managers can tackle product issues and washroom litter before receiving a complaint, reducing costs and improving operational efficiency. Additionally, Savortex’s IoT hand dryers are leading the charge in sustainable reporting, tracking energy usage and providing businesses with valuable data on their carbon footprint. This data helps companies make informed decisions on their sustainable practices and offset carbon with company carbon schemes, supporting their Net Zero objectives.
