On the Road with Scott Farmer, Cintas CEO - Cintas Safety Director took Scott Farmer on a tour of the new wash alley safety system at location #304 in Grove City, OH. This system, considered to be the most advanced wash alley system in the uniform rental / industrial laundry industry, is being installed in all automated and semi-automated rental facilities company-wide.
The new system takes safety to a new level, featuring a safety computer that's inside the box. It controlls everything that goes on inside the wash alley in terms of safety. If a wash alley operator needs to enter the wash alley, the system will check to see if it's safe for the operator to enter. While he's in there, no automatic motion will occur.
The system is so sophistocated that a maintenance partner can be in the wash alley doing a major maintenance job on one of the washers and driers and still have the wash alley operating. The whole uniform rental plant receives extensive training on the new wash alleys. 20 are in place currently, with plans to install 106 more throughout the company.
