Overview

TDC’s IOT enable soap dispenser / hand sanitizer is an auto soap dispensing / hand sanitizer device which is capable of detecting low soap detergent level with its integrated level sensor. This is wirelessly connected to a communication gateway, removing the need of physical cabling. The working range of the IoT soap dispenser / hand sanitizer can be as far as 500m away easing installation cost. The system captures the status of the soap dispenser / hand sanitizer with a SMS alert for topping up. Currently, we are developing Al /ML for better work flow.
