Kunming’s first smart tourist-toilet debuts

The Kunming Expo Garden put a 5A intelligent bathroom management system into use late February. This represents the city’s first intelligent tourist toilet deployment. The toilet is also the first of its kind to show occupancy status in the province.

The intelligent tourist toilet includes regular toilets and a unisex toilet and cover an area of 445 square meters. The toilet is managed through the Internet, IoT sensors, wireless communications, intelligent security technology and other advanced technologies. Electronic displays on the outer wall show the locations of male, female and unisex toilet, the occupancy status, as well as the total visits, and real-time weather and air quality.

In addition, the toilet also provides emergency call service. The user can press a call bell for one minute, and a staff member will come to provide assistance.
