Sensors – N3 Smart
Work smarter with N3 Smart
With N3 Smart, you get sensor technology that gives you control over cleaning, equipment, and the indoor environment, backed by data you can trust. You can see what is actually happening in the building, where efforts are needed most, and what delivers results over time. This makes it easier to set the right priorities and address deviations without turning it into an IT project.
How N3 Smart works
N3 Smart connects three levels: sensors, a cloud platform, and practical follow-up
N3 Zones
IoT sensors help monitor cleaning activity and the use of N3 Zones. Machine and robot data can also be compared with planned cleaning schedules. Integrated with Clean Pilot.
The Cloud / N3 Smart Portal
All data is securely transmitted to the N3 Smart server in Ireland, where it is consolidated and presented in a single operations portal.
Overview and reporting
All data is stored, while live data shows how cleaning machines and robots are currently being used, as well as the current indoor air quality. You can set up alerts when action may be needed, helping you keep operations running smoothly.
Making your day-to-day work easier
You can log in to check the status, set up email alerts for issues, and generate reports that provide an overview of scheduled and completed cleaning, usage trends, deviations from the plan, and the indoor environment.
N3 helps you stay on top of cleaning
With many years of experience and collaboration with the Norwegian Asthma and Allergy Association, we provide proven cleaning solutions that improve indoor air quality and reduce costs.

How to get started with N3 Smart
N3 Smart brings sensors, a portal, and ongoing support together in a single solution. The package includes sensors, the portal, setup, training, and follow-up support. You do not have to build the system yourselves. You can start small and gain insights early, often within the first few weeks, depending on the building and scope. N3 Smart measures the use of machines and robots, as well as indoor environmental conditions—not individuals. Access is role-based, allowing you to decide who can see what in the portal.
N3 Zones
Sensors track activity across N3 Zones, robots, and machines against the cleaning plan, providing a reliable basis for prioritization, follow-up, and improvement.
The Cloud and the N3 Smart Portal
Data is consolidated in a single portal, providing an overview by building, floor, and equipment fleet across all manufacturers and models. You get a visual representation of status, load, and trends over time.
Overview and reporting
You receive alerts when issues arise and can generate shareable summaries and reports to support operations, management, and HSE follow-up.
Dashboard, alerts, and reports for the entire building
The N3 Smart Portal provides a clear overview for your day-to-day work. You can see which machines are used most, which areas see the most activity, and where cleaning may not have followed the schedule.
Reports show how cleaning operations are progressing, when something has not been addressed as expected, or when the indoor environment falls outside the desired range. Reports can be generated for each building, floor, or area and used both for internal management and as documentation.
With N3 Smart, we have reduced energy consumption by 26% in a school and 21% in a kindergarten—while also being able to demonstrate good air quality.

Frequently Asked Questions about N3 Smart
“What is N3 Smart, and how does it benefit us as a customer?
N3 Smart gives you visibility, documentation and control over your cleaning operations. You can monitor cleaning quality in entrance areas, check whether routines are being followed and use data to focus efforts where they are actually needed. You also get a clearer overview of how your equipment and machines are being used, how often they are in operation and whether usage matches the actual need. N3 Smart can also be expanded with additional sensors, for example to monitor indoor climate and air quality, providing further insight into your facilities.
“Can we view planned machine operating time and deviations by building and entrance?
Yes. N3 Smart allows you to compare planned machine operating time with actual usage and identify deviations by building or area. This makes it easier to adjust routines and ensure consistent cleaning quality.
“Can N3 Smart be integrated with Clean Pilot?
Yes. Together with Datec, the company behind Clean Pilot, N3 is working to bring technology and cleaning management closer together. The goal is to make data from equipment and operations, collected through machine sensors in N3 Smart, available directly in Clean Pilot for planning, monitoring and quality management. The aim is not to add more systems, but to make everyday work easier and more seamless for cleaning staff and Cleaning Managers.
