What Challenge Did CleanTech® Automated Handwashing Solve for Harris Woolf?
Harris Woolf was facing challenges common in most food processing facilities, not enough time in the day and human error in the hygiene process. The staff members are busy, and when a manual hand wash is performed properly it takes around 40 seconds! "Handwashing is very much common sense in the food industry. We all do it all the time. What has changed with CleanTech® is that employees enjoy using the equipment. It’s so much faster for them." said Food Safety & Quality Manager, Gabby Chavarria. On top of that CleanTech® totally removes human error from the hand wash by automating and standardizing the process.
