Georgia-Pacific Debuts Cleaning Tech at ATL

Georgia-Pacific and its GP PRO division is rolling out new cleaning technology to help facilities, including Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL), manage heightened sanitizing and disinfecting practices that will be needed to restore public confidence in travel in light of COVID-19.

The KOLO Hygiene system incorporates GP PRO’S wireless Internet of Things (IoT) platform that sends alerts to custodians on a mobile device to let them know if something needs attention. The system helps ensure restrooms and other high-traffic areas are clean, in working order, and fully stocked with soap, hand sanitizer and other essentials.

“We know that a facility’s ability to achieve and demonstrate elevated levels of clean will be key to advancing consumer and employee confidence and, as a result, the country’s economic recovery, which is why we are quickly moving to deploy this data-driven solution,” said Michael Slawson, vice president and general manager, Smart Restrooms and Connected Devices for GP PRO.

ATL is an early adopter of the KOLO Smart Monitoring System and will be deploying GP PRO’s smart hygiene solution throughout the airport in the coming months.

“GP PRO has been a tremendous partner to us over the past few years, working tirelessly to help Hartsfield-Jackson achieve a number of critical goals related to improving the passenger experience,” said Dr. Kofi Smith, president and CEO of Atlanta Airlines Terminal Company, which provides facility management solutions for ATL. “Now with the COVID-19 pandemic reducing air travel to near negligible levels, we need to quickly and dramatically do even more, particularly as it relates to protecting the health and safety of our airport staff and the traveling public. We hope to use GP PRO’s smart technology to do that and, as a result, help drive our industry’s and our nation’s recovery.”
