Innovation Awards finalist: Karcher
Karcher had two products up for the Innovation Awards: the AFG 100 air purifier that is not only aesthetically pleasing, but features 3 stage filtration. The first stage captures large dust particles, while the second stage plasma filter actually destroys smaller particles. The final, third stage filter is HEPA and active carbon to leave the air clean an fresh.
The unit is self-regulating dependent upon local air quality and a further aesthetic is that the light may be changed to suit the ambience of the time of day or the installed location.
The second Karcher product that reached the Innovation finals is its Connected Cleaning fleet management system. Connected Cleaning keeps track of where and when a floor cleaning machine is working, when batteries need charging, and how long the operator needs to spend cleaning an area. This is achieved via a unit in the machine connected to a website via the internet and by the operator scanning a barcode on entering and leaving an area.
