1 Introduction - Tork EasyCube
TM
Tork EasyCube delivers actionable washroom insights through a web
user interface.
The service consists of Tork dispensers equipped with sensors that
communicate the dispenser status and rell needs to a cloud based
system, made available for different roles such as a facility manager or
the cleaning staff.
The system as well includes visitor registration units that can count
people passing into a washroom area.

a Facility Manager as well as cleaning staff, in order to facilitate more efcient work planning.
2 Get an instant overview
At any point in time the system will provide a quick overview of the status
of the installed dispensers through a web based dashboard. Instantly the
user of the web application, for example a facility manager, will be able to
spot if dispensers are about to become empty.
2.1 Before you get started
To be able to get started with the Tork EasyCube system there are some
activities that need to be performed.
Initially the customer together with SCA will determine which washrooms
will be included and the required number of gateways to support these
locations. The number of gateways required for a location depends upon
the distribution of washrooms within the building and also the construction
material of the building walls.
Installation of the system is done by professional installers.
Installation instruction is available in the Tork EasyCube Install tool.
3 Technical components used in Tork EasyCube
The different components used for the Tork EasyCube solution:
*
3.1 Sensors
A selected range of Tork dispensers is prepared to be equipped with
sensor technologies to optimize the function, depending on the eld
of use. There are different sensor technologies used within
Tork EasyCube:
• SCU (Sensor Communication Unit) which is used to measure
rell levels in Tork dispensers.
• Dispensers with embedded sensors. The dispenser contains
a sensor from factory.
All sensors communicate with the gateway via the radio
frequency 2.4GHz.
3.2 Tork EasyCube Sensor Communication Unit
The sensor communication unit is added to a special slot within the
dispensers. The rell levels reported by the sensors are visualized in the
Tork EasyCube system by colors.
Each sensor is operated by an embedded battery.
Wipe off with a dry cloth each 6 months or when
needed to remove dust. Article number: 682870
3.3 Dispensers with embedded sensors
Tork dispensers such as Tork Foam Soap
Dispenser with Intuition sensor™ do not need
an additional Tork EasyCube sensor. Instead,
they have an additional radio component
within the cassette which forwards information
to the DCU via 2.4 GHz radio.
The system runs on the same battery as the
dispenser, no additional battery is needed.

3.4 Tork EasyCube Visitor Registration Unit
The Visitor Registration Unit counts the number of people going in and
out of a room. The number of visitors can be used as a guideline for
when washrooms need to be cleaned.
The sensor has a exible measurement direction, just open the two
end pieces and rotate the center unit 90° to change direction. Place
one sender and one receiver at the door frame to the entry of the room.
The sensor has a range of up to 1.7 meters / 5.5 feet. A congurable
response time makes the sensor useful in many different environments
and applications.
Each sensor is operated by an embedded battery that will
last for 5 years. Article number: 682850
3.5 Tork EasyCube Gateway
The Gateway collects the data from the sensors
(3.2 - 3.4) and sends information to the Tork
EasyCube system. The gateway acts as a
communication hub for all the sensors that
have been paired with it. The unit collects and
processes incoming sensor data.
The gateway has a power supply and a battery
backup to ensure performance during power
failure.
The gateway is installed away from water and as
high up as possible for best performance.
3.6 Several gateways
In order to cover larger areas, several gateways may be needed. As
each gateway has communication capabilities with the back end
server, they can be installed over a large area with no requirements of
in-between communication.
Figure 2. Status red indicates very soon out-of-paper and yellow indicates a half-full dispenser. Status
green needs no attention. Add a dashboard measurement of a critical location to track its usage.

Foam Soap Dispensers
• Green: indicates that the dispenser still have
enough paper or soap remaining.
• Yellow: indicates that it is possible to rell
the dispenser.
• Red: indicates that the dispenser is almost
empty.
The gateway has a built-in GSM/3G modem used to connect
to Internet. No access to local physical networks is needed.
Communication between sensors and the gateway is based on SCA
proprietary protocol. Article number: 682920
