The aim of the Internet of Things is for objects to independently collect information, exchange it and interact with one another without human intervention. In German-speaking countries, the technology is therefore often referred to as the “Internet der Dinge”.
How does the IoT work in modern businesses?
The major breakthrough of the IoT is based on the combination of tiny, affordable sensors and ubiquitous internet availability. A device in the Internet of Things collects data from its environment, such as temperatures, movements or locations. This data is transmitted via the mobile network or Wi-Fi to a central platform, where it is analysed and translated into specific actions or reports.
The processing of these vast amounts of data in the IoT does not usually take place on the device itself, but is outsourced to digital networks. Find out more about this in our article on cloud computing and its benefits.
The Internet of Things in practice: The Nexaro NR 1700 as a smart milestone
The theory sounds exciting, but what does it all look like in practice? A perfect example of the Internet of Things and how the concept comes to life in real-world working environments can be seen in modern Cleaning 4.0.
Here, the autonomous robot vacuum Nexaro NR 1700 is far more than a conventional vacuum cleaner – it is a highly sophisticated IoT device. Equipped with state-of-the-art sensor technology, it maps rooms independently, detects obstacles and optimises its cleaning routes in real time. Via an integrated mobile connection, the cobot (collaborative robot) continuously sends performance data, status reports and digital cleaning maps directly to the cloud.
By the way: the smart robot not only protects data, but also health. To find out how it ensures clean indoor air at the same time, read our article ‘What is a HEPA filter?’.
Efficient fleet management thanks to the Nexaro HUB
A single IoT device is useful – but the Internet of Things only reveals its true strength when data is collated centrally. At Nexaro, this task is handled by the Nexaro HUB.
As a digital operations centre, the HUB receives data from the Nexaro NR 1700. This offers unbeatable advantages for building service providers and facility managers:
- Real-time monitoring: You can see at any time where the devices are located and which areas have already been cleaned.
- Preventive maintenance: The system automatically alerts you when a wear part needs replacing, even before a breakdown occurs.
- Complete documentation: Cleaning logs are generated fully automatically and serve as legally compliant proof of quality for your customers.
How the connected IoT is transforming the building cleaning industry for the long term
The arrival of the Internet of Things in the building cleaning industry proves that connectivity is not an end in itself, but creates genuine economic and operational added value. Through the use of smart technologies such as the Nexaro NR 1700 and the Nexaro HUB control platform, cleaning is transformed from a rigid, schedule-bound task into a dynamic, data-driven process. This saves companies valuable time, relieves their staff of monotonous tasks and, through maximum transparency, secures a decisive competitive advantage in a digital world.
