TeddiMatts then installed the mini routers, or gateways, in each of the laundry rooms. The Facilities Operations team installed new power sources and locking enclosures for the gateways in each laundry room.
Through Speed Queen, the Columbia Housing team has access to an app dashboard for monitoring peak usage times and viewing machine errors remotely.
The app is configured to work across all of Columbia Housing’s major residence halls and allows students to check machine availability by building and to monitor a washer or dryer’s cycle time from their mobile devices. Students can opt to receive email or text message reminders when their laundry is almost done, eliminating the “is the spin cycle done yet” guessing game. Learn more about how the app works.
