Bouw slimme toiletten en bouw beschaafde steden

With the advent of the new technology boom of the Internet of Things, people’s livelihood construction has also caught on to the smart train and begun to move towards intelligence. On the basis of national policy support and the improvement of people’s cultural level, toilets, one of the symbols of urban civilization, quickly joined this intelligent battle.

Judging from the current construction progress, the construction of smart toilets mainly focuses on two aspects: smart toilet renovation and smart toilet management. Although both are products born under the trend of wisdom, they are still quite different in terms of technology, purpose, and application fields.

Smart toilet renovation

Regarding this point, it can be divided into two words: “wisdom” and “toilet renovation”. The four words “toilet renovation” should be associated with the term “toilet revolution”. Its original intention is to solve the two major problems of low hygiene level of urban toilets, serious water and electricity consumption, and dirty, unqualified and unhygienic toilets in rural areas. However, The main executor of its transformation is still manpower. With the intervention of smart technologies such as the Internet of Things and big data, toilet renovation has also bid farewell to the manual era, and has realized offline technology applications and online visual management from design, application, management and other aspects. From a macro-environment perspective, the most prominent example of smart toilet renovation currently is urban public toilets. After solving the sanitation, water and electricity problems of urban public toilets, the current stage of urban public toilet construction focuses more on smart lighting, smart ventilation, smart deodorization, etc., with the goal of improving the service quality of public toilets and optimizing the quality of management.

Smart toilet management

According to the current situation, unlike smart toilet renovation stations that solve toilet quality problems, smart toilet management focuses more on collecting, counting, and analyzing data generated in public toilet operations through relevant sensor technologies to serve the toilet management business, thereby Carry out refined management of toilets, including human flow monitoring, odor detection, water and electricity flow monitoring, etc.

However, the current construction of smart toilets is considered to be an organic combination of smart toilet renovation and smart toilet management. Starting from the renovation and upgrading of toilet infrastructure, on this basis, we will form a comprehensive management mechanism with public users as the main service targets and a good cycle of timely detection and handling of problems. It is not only a more intelligent, automatic and information-based toilet revolution promoted by modern civilization, but also an indispensable and important link in the construction of smart cities.

Smart toilet construction

Since the national government proposed to promote the “toilet revolution” in the existing tourism system in 2017, the construction of smart toilets has begun to become an important construction link of smart cultural tourism. Next, we will take the construction of smart toilets in smart cultural tourism as an example, and explore the core aspects of smart toilet construction at this stage from the perspective of technology and function.

First of all, from a technical perspective, the current construction of smart toilets has introduced information communication, Internet of Things, Internet and other technologies, and used modern intelligent control, sensor transmission and other technologies to build smart toilet solutions for scenic spots. Current status, real-time temperature, humidity, air quality and other big data are displayed on a dedicated smart display to guide people to enter the toilet in an orderly manner.

From the perspective of function settings, in addition to guiding people to use the toilet in an orderly manner, current smart toilets also pay special attention to humanistic care, setting up multiple functions such as one-click emergency call for help, automatic sensing paper dispensing, odor sensing, etc., as well as communicating with managers Carry out intelligent management with cleaning staff to ensure timely maintenance of toilets, such as automatic notification of cleaning, automatic notification of adding toilet paper, etc., thereby establishing an intelligent toilet management, response and decision-making mechanism.

Of course, in addition to knowing the current status of the toilets on the smart display at the toilet entrance in the tourist area, the smart toilet solution in the scenic spot is also linked to other third-party apps such as WeChat on mobile phones. Tourists can use WeChat on mobile phones or related APPs to automatically find and locate toilets in real time. You can understand the busy status of toilets, the occupancy of toilet pits, and make complaints and make suggestions on dirty and messy toilets through mobile phones.

For tourist attractions, toilet civilization is the most intuitive embodiment of scenic spot services. Under this wave of smart toilet trends, many scenic spot toilets have now achieved accurate statistics on the flow of toilet passengers, thereby improving the most fundamental civilized image of the scenic spot.

With the advent of the face-scanning era, face recognition technology has become an emerging force in the construction of smart toilets. However, in addition to the launch of the “face recognition toilet paper machine” product, which allows you to scan your face to get free paper, there should be more. Practical scenarios can be derived.

For example, can the current smart toilet be equipped with a face recognition system? When a person entering the toilet enters the toilet, the camera will capture the face and perform identity recognition. During non-peak periods and within the normal time range (1 to 30 minutes), the system will No prompt will appear, but once bad behavior is detected or the toilet time of the person using the toilet exceeds the normal time, the system will automatically activate the automatic alarm mechanism and notify the toilet management personnel to check for abnormal conditions to prevent the occurrence of bad behavior. After all, urban toilets are often considered the dark side of the city, where illegal crimes often breed.

However, given the current financial, material and technological resources, it will take a long time to realize this vision. Let us look forward to a new era of comfortable, hygienic and clean life together.
