SEM Haven, a non-profit ministry in Milford, Ohio providing nursing and residential care for older adults, is realizing the benefits that smart chemical dispensers bring to the laundry process. To enhance the quality of wash results, SEM Haven’s environmental cleanliness partner, InnoServ®, installed Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled dispensers from Hydro, a world leader in delivering chemical dispensing and dosing solutions.
“Hydro’s connected dispensing solutions give chemical providers and laundry managers greater visibility of operational information like formulas being used and total chemical usage, number of loads processed and alarms,” said John Goetz, Global Product Manager, Hydro. “We are thrilled that SEM Haven has seen a noticeable improvement in the cleanliness of its linens, especially given the infection risk that dirty linens pose to long-term care residents.”
EvoClean is the world’s first venturi-based, water-powered laundry dispenser, which eliminates the use of squeeze tubes that cause dispensing units to lose accuracy over time. The facility is also using Connected Total Eclipse, an IoT-enabled controller for on-premise laundries leveraging the Hydro Connect platform. With Hydro Connect, laundry managers and chemical providers always have access to real-time data and historical reporting to drive continuous improvements. The combination has helped InnoServ® provide industry-leading service while eliminating the causes of emergency visits.
“As a service specialist, it’s very helpful to have the ability to access laundry data online and see what’s happening live, especially given that we are typically managing 20 different accounts,” said Rob Purdum, Service Specialist, InnoServ®.
“A well-managed laundry program is key for infection prevention and resident satisfaction,” said Juanita Williams, Environmental Services Director, SEM Haven. “With Hydro’s solution, the whites are now the whitest I’ve seen.”
