Abstract

A hygiene appliance monitoring system for determining washroom element functional status and sequence of operation generally includes a plurality of wireless communication devices with a first number of the wireless communication devices being disposed within or adjacent washroom elements and operative for monitoring and reporting functional status and operation thereof. A second number of the wireless communication devices disposed in tags suitable for carrying by individuals. A third number of wireless communication devices being configured for recognizing a presence of the second number of wireless communication devices and differentiating distances between the third number of the wireless communication devices and the second number of wireless communication devices in order to determine if a washroom element associated with the one of the first number of wireless communication devices is to be ascribed to one of the tags and reporting thereon by an output signal. The wireless communication devices communicate the output signal to a receiving device provided for transmitting to a data server for analysis.Functional status, operational sequence, consumable content of the washroom elements, identification of the individual tag wearer with respect to the proximity of washroom elements and the state or relationship between the plurality of elements and tags and therefore adherence with cleansing policy as a managed process with personal and hygiene facilities cleansing and sanitizing requirements can be determined.
