Girbau Global Laundry Solutions (Girbau) recently developed and released the Covid-19 Disinfection Monitoring Package (DMP), a module that monitors and verifies the disinfection of washed textiles in cooperation with the Sapphire laundry management software.
According to Girbau, the DMP, which is unique in the industry, was invented to meet the immediate need for disinfection and hygiene in laundries around the world. The DMP is available for all Girbau washing machines and is the result of Girbau's targeted efforts to counter the Covid 19 pandemic and stop the spread of infections.
The DMP module can be integrated in Sapphire, Girbau's intelligent remote management software. Sapphire makes laundry management much easier, reports irregularities and reduces costs and downtimes. It also plays a critical role in disinfection, as it ensures compliance with the parameters required for proper textile disinfection and also enables data to be stored and transmitted to customers.
"The DMP offers new features that hotels, nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and commercial laundries can ensure their washing processes meet global, nationwide, or organizational disinfection needs," said Mike Floyd, Girbau's Global Marketing Director.
Through Sapphire, the DMP shows the development of the machine wash cycles in real time with details on temperature, water level and cycle phases. In this way, the owner can quickly configure the cycle conditions – including the conditions for compliance with the disinfection regulations – and check whether all cycles have met the disinfection parameters previously defined by the customer. It also enables remote control of all parameters of the washing cycle, including temperature, water level and cycle phases, or the execution of detailed monitoring with the recording of the entire cycle progress.
In addition, the DMP offers the possibility to create user-defined disinfection criteria based on the time and temperature for each program on each machine – adapted to the specific requirements of each wash. A summary of the disinfection rules and conditions created by the user is displayed. Laundry managers can then run a report to determine if a program or machine does not meet the specified disinfection protocols. If the wash cycle does not meet a disinfection condition, the user is notified with a notification.
The DMP is compatible with Girbau washers, which offer precise temperature control and superior programming flexibility. Girbau washing machines are installed in local and commercial laundries around the world. They are also used by dry cleaning professionals worldwide for technical wet cleaning. In contrast to chemical cleaning, however, they can demonstrate that disinfection is carried out in delicate clothing. Further information on the DMP can be found at https://info.girbau.es/en/dmp.
