Abstract

The New Future: What Role Does Smart Cleaning Play in FM? 
by Mr Lewis HO, Senior Vice President, Business Development & Partnerships, Chief Executive Officer, Avalon Steritech

As the pandemic situation continues to evolve, it has forced many around the world to change the way they work, live and play, with remote work and virtual schooling both becoming a common phenomenon around the world. Nowadays, cleaning no longer is just about the level of hygiene in the spaces we venture. There is greater awareness around the safety of the cleaning agents and methods we use for the public, customers, the frontline cleaning staff, and also for the planet.

People are growing expectations for sustainability that require innovative solutions to ensure people, businesses, especially the facility management sector, can adapt to a new post-pandemic normal – now and in the future.

AI and robotics are proving to be one of the most effective solutions in this space to help transition to the new normal. In fact, smart cleaning technology is providing a new quality of cleaning by applying specified amounts of disinfectants and controlling exposure to cleaning substances. This ensures that the risks posed on humans and the surroundings can be better mitigated, positioning us for success both in a community and environmental sense.

Lewis Ho, CEO of Avalon SteriTech will be sharing his insight on how smart cleaning is paving a new role in FM sector.
