Mechatronic Solution Protects Rentokil Healthcare Workers Worldwide

dots

The Client’s Challenge

Rentokil Healthcare, part of the Rentokil Initial international services group, provides waste disposal services to factories, retail and leisure outlets. It needed to protect employees from the risk of injury from ‘needle stick’.

The Client’s Specific Needs

An international solution to be used by workers worldwide.

The Mechatronic Solution

After an initial feasibility study, Mechatronic developed an automated system to deal with every aspect of emptying and cleaning bins.

The components of the automated solution were required to be capable of operating in different countries working in various languages. This required software that could give commands to equipment and operators in the relevant native tongue. After initial machine design, Mechatronic was asked to project manage all further installations worldwide.

The Results

Employee working conditions and safety environment have improved.

Productivity has risen. Rentokil Healthcare depots have significantly increased the number of bins per hour that can be handled.

The automated solution offers Rentokil Healthcare the capability to expand this service and generate additional income.
