Big data and the myriad of benefits it can provide has long been recognised as a vital feedback component to understanding performance. But when you think of big data, thoughts of sanitary ware wouldn’t be a natural pairing, until now. Welcome to the latest in bathroom technology advancement: Caroma’s Smart Command.
Caroma’s newly released touch-free plumbing ecosystem not only offers health and wellness benefits by significantly reducing the number of surface areas required to be touched for operation, the unprecedented level of data insights delivered by the ecosystem is simply next level. Here's what you need to know about this latest sanitary ware tech advancement and how it’s enabling best-practice bathroom, resource and utility management.
Caroma Smart Command: An Ecosystem of Intelligent Bathroom Products
The Smart Command touch-free ecosystem is a network of interconnected, sensor enabled intelligent bathroom products. In the ecosystem tapware, urinals, toilets, showers and leak detection valves are all connected to each other. This allows for near real-time operational tracking via the Caroma Smart Command Cloud and app or Building Management System (BMS).

The wealth of data that the touch-free sanitary ware ecosystem brings is as revolutionary as it is intriguing. From water volume consumption, to the total number of flushes or tap activations per unit is possible. What’s really cool though is how this data can then be extrapolated to understand user behaviours. For example in a commercial setting such as an office building, shopping centre, or stadium, this high level insight can indicate the need for greater hygiene initiatives like additional signage reminding of the need for hand washing. The individual usage data can also provide insights into which particular units within a bathroom are high traffic areas, requiring increased cleaning as part of a targeted sanitation approach.

With hygiene and cleanliness vital to ensuring broader community health, having such powerful data insights enables informed decisions to be made when it comes to fleet management, enabling facility managers to proactively manage resources. Armed with insights such as water usage, commercial operators (as well as residential property owners if the system is installed as part of a smart home strategy) can easily forecast water usage costs, including identifying potential leaks should the system detect an unexpected spike in water usage or unusual water usage patterns.
