ISS launches Pure Space Production to meet heightened expectations in manufacturing operations
ISS, a leading workplace experience and facility management company, has announced the official launch of Pure Space Production in China. As part of the Pure Space cleaning product portfolio, Pure Space Production is a specialized cleaning service product designed to meet the unique needs of the industry and manufacturing segment.
Leveraging decades of experience, the Pure Space Production is tailored to enhance productivity while mitigating risks based on best practices for standard workflows, innovative methodologies and technologies.
The cleaning requirements vary a lot in different industries, workplaces, and companies, depending on the nature of the business, the type and size of the workplace, and compliance standards. In the industry and manufacturing sector, cleanliness, energy efficiency and productivity are paramount.
Enhanced Efficiency with Strategic Approach
Standardization is key to ISS’s cleaning solutions. The launch of Pure Space Production marks the expansion of the Pure Space cleaning product portfolio, known for standard methods and products. ISS provides on-site staff with general guidance for twenty-three production room types including loading bay, walkways, common areas, warehouse, car park and roads, external areas, production areas, waste area and waste handling. For each room type, there is standard procedure, method, equipment guideline and technology solution.
Pure Space Production enables cleaning staff to deliver excellent services with the machines, tools, and chemicals needed for the specific room type. Global presence and reach give ISS the scale, knowledge, and benefits to make customers’ operations run smoothly and efficiently by supporting clean environments while maintaining facilities and equipment.
Cleaning cards provide guidance for each production room type, including which tasks should be performed on which days and the necessity of full or spot cleaning. In-depth standard operating procedures (SOPs) for surfaces, floors, loading docks, storage racks, locker rooms, and other scenarios cleaners may encounter are outlined in the cards, which ISS Placemakers can access any time.
Risk Mitigation and Corporate Responsibility
The industrial and manufacturing sector has stringent requirements for work safety. ISS institutes policies and practices that support the health, safety and wellbeing of its staff to align with the customer’s health, safety, environmental, and quality (HSEQ) goals. Pure Space Production ensures clean environments and smooth operations to assist customers to deliver on 100% planned up-time, while meeting local and global compliance requirements.
Taking into consideration the risk management of the operation on client sites, ISS has tailored safety instructions that are specifically emphasized in training and during the work. For example, when working in the loading bay – ramp outside area, ISS cleaning professionals will be required to wear special PPE such as safety glasses, hard hat, gloves, safety vests, safety shoes and earplugs where necessary to avoid disrupting production operations during the cleaning process and to safeguard their own health and safety.
By sustaining and building a productive, safe and reputable workplace, it helps to attract, engage and retain the right people, strengthen the brand and keep business competitive.
Cost-effective Cleaning Solutions Powered by Technology
Cleaning robots are deployed on a larger scale in the industry and manufacturing sector. Equipped with sensors, cameras and artificial intelligence algorithms, these autonomous machines can navigate through vast areas such as warehouses and production floor aisles, as well as narrow corridors, crowded lifts and other areas, avoiding obstacles while effectively cleaning all sorts of surfaces. The floor scrubbers, for example, can adjust the cleaning mode and frequency by analyzing the condition of the floor and the type of dirt.
It also combines a global digital platform in personnel training. MyLearnig, a comprehensive online learning and training system, enables the supervisors to self-study 6 modules and take exams to verify the results. Afterwards, they will teach front-line staff in training session and design relevant scenario tests. In addition, cleaning experts will visit the project site from time to time to emphasize certain knowledge and operating methods in a systematic approach, ensuring that all employees work efficiently and consistently.
From embracing cutting-edge technology to ongoing staff training, ISS is constantly improving cleaning solutions to make them more sustainable, safer and more cost-effective.
Ms. Cindy Wang, CEO of ISS China, says, "As a cleaning specialist, we continue to expand and refine our daily cleaning solutions to meet heightened expectations of workplaces in different industries. Pure Space Production, which is being rolled out in China, will help our various customers in industrial and manufacturing sector to ensure the smooth operation of their facilities and equipment, enhance safety management, improve productivity, and support their sustainability agenda."
