Ergonomics

If problematic work processes are identified and are ergonomically relieved by means of
cleaning technology, cleaners are protected from certain chronic illnesses. At the same time,
better results can be achieved faster with the right tools and knowledge of their application.
In view of the growing shortage of personnel and increasing cost pressure, ergonomics may
become a competitive advantage for building service providers.

An important tool for ergonomic working is the battery-powered vacuum cleaner.

Searching for power outlets, bending down to plug and unplug, cable unwinding and
rewinding and endless walking up and down are no longer necessary. Depending on the
application, battery-powered vacuum cleaners save time and also boost productivity by up to
50 percent. Also the so-called spot cleaning can be completed significantly quicker with
battery-powered vacuum cleaners without any set-up time.

Another advantage is in the maintenance and service area because there are no longer any
repair costs for defective power cables. They are the main reason for service calls in
day-to-day work because they have to be exchanged by an electrician. This problem doesn't
exist with battery-powered vacuum cleaners, meaning hardly any downtimes of the devices
have to be calculated.

Finally, the area of occupational safety or employee health is not to be neglected. There is
no more risk from the cable tripping hazard. Daytime cleaning in areas open to the public is
also possible.The devices can also be conveniently switched on and off by a foot switch.
