Smell sensors improve cleaning efficiency JR East and others

JR East, Sanyo Chemical Industries, and Nagase & Co. have begun a demonstration experiment using the smell sensor “Flavo Tone” to improve the efficiency of toilet cleaning at stations. By using this sensor, the sanitary condition of the toilet can be remotely grasped in real time, and the efficiency of toilet cleaning and the sense of security of toilet users can be improved.
By grasping the degree of dirt in the toilet with a sensor, the timing and places where cleaning is necessary can be optimized, and a clean toilet environment can be provided, thereby increasing user satisfaction.
Through this initiative, the aim is to realize high-quality cleaning services with less labor.
“Flavo Tone” will be released in 2023 as a solution for Sanyo Chemical to solve various problems using the power of chemistry. Nagase & Co. is working on business development of “Flavo Tone” in collaboration with Sanyo Chemical.
