The TIRA Project aims to develop and implement robotics and sensor technology solutions to enhance facility management, with a particular focus on predictive maintenance and improving safety in both indoor and outdoor spaces. The project utilizes various types of robots, such as combination machines, vacuum robots, snow removal robots, and sweepers, all equipped with intelligent sensors. These technologies help identify equipment wear and potential faults in advance, allowing for precise resource allocation and cost reduction.

The project also focuses on measuring space utilization and exploring ways to influence user behavior through interactive elements, such as talking trash bins. These technologies encourage facility users to take an active role in maintaining cleanliness and their environment.

Furthermore, the TIRA project promotes transparency and supports carbon neutrality goals through data collection and analysis. The project’s outcomes are continuously monitored and evaluated using data analytics, enabling ongoing improvement in facility management.

The TIRA project fosters active dialogue and collaboration with facility users by gathering feedback and suggestions regarding the implementation and development of the technology. This ensures that the solutions meet user needs while promoting environmental awareness and responsibility.
