42. Connected washrooms by Tork
In work places there are many things that just
need to work
!
One such function is the washroom. If it doesn’t
work properly people will notice and complain.
!
But maintenance is complex and built on
estimations. Some of the work is time-consuming
without adding value.
What if a washroom could tell what
maintenance that is needed?
