Bradley Company's latest innovation supports facility cleaning managers in making data-driven decisions about restroom care. Float Partitions with Nexa, a smart and connected restroom partition system, brings real-time occupancy monitoring to airport restrooms. Designed for busy transportation hubs, the cloud-connected system gives travelers instant visibility into restroom stall availability before they enter.

Restrooms are among the busiest passenger amenities in any airport, yet travelers often don't know whether stalls are available until they reach the restroom entrance. Bradley's 2026 Healthy Handwashing Survey reinforces the demand for greater restroom visibility, finding that 86 percent of U.S. adults believe it would be valuable for restrooms in high-traffic locations to display the number of available stalls before they enter. With Float Partitions with Nexa, an optional digital display outside the restroom addresses this need by showing how many stalls are open in real-time, allowing travelers to decide at a glance whether to enter or continue to another nearby restroom. Once inside, integrated LED occupancy indicators make it easy to identify available stalls. This added visibility reduce uncertainty, ease congestion, and helps occupants move through the restroom more efficiently.

The traveler-facing display is only part of the story. Behind the scenes, occupancy data is securely transmitted to the Nexa platform, giving airport facility cleaning managers real-time visibility into restroom utilization, peak traffic periods, and overall system status. Rather than relying solely on routine inspections or fixed service schedules, facility cleaning managers can gain actionable insights that can help them prioritize cleaning, maintenance, and staffing based on actual demand. This information can support optimized operations, improved resource allocation, deliver responsive service, and enhance data-driven planning across one or multiple restroom locations.

Maintenance mode also allows frontline teams to temporarily designate a restroom as unavailable during cleaning or servicing, helping direct users to other facilities. This application improves restroom flow, responds to occupant demand, and creates a better restroom experience for all visitors. 

"Travelers have come to expect real-time information throughout the airport experience," says Rebecca Geissler, Product Manager at Bradley Company. "Float Partitions with Nexa extends that visibility to the public restroom while giving airport operators the occupancy data they need to make smarter decisions about cleaning, maintenance, and staffing."
