As a public place with dense traffic, the wear rate of airport chairs is far higher than that of ordinary furniture. According to statistics, the cost of seat maintenance in a medium-sized airport is as high as hundreds of thousands of yuan each year. How to reduce the maintenance cost from the source will be discussed from three aspects.
1. Good material selection, no worries about maintenance.
Metal airport chairs (such as stainless steel or aluminum alloy) are widely used in large hub airports due to their high strength and anti-corrosion properties. In contrast, inferior plastic materials are prone to aging and cracking, which not only affects the image, but also increases the frequency of replacement. In addition, the high-quality powder coating, electroplating or anodizing treatment on the surface of the airport chair is not only beautiful, but also more stain-resistant and corrosion-resistant. It can also greatly reduce the frequency of daily cleaning and reduce the maintenance labor cost.
2. Digital management makes airport chair maintenance worry-free and cost-saving.
The new generation of smart airport chairs are equipped with sensors that can provide real-time feedback on occupancy rate, damage status and other data, allowing maintenance personnel to "dispatch on demand" instead of traditional "manual inspections", saving more than 60% of manpower. Through remote system monitoring, if there is any abnormality in the chair (such as abnormal vibration, abnormal temperature, long occupancy time, etc.), it will be automatically reported and repaired in time to prevent small problems from becoming big problems.
3. Small habits save a lot, low-cost maintenance skills for airport cleaning staff.
When cleaning, press the connection and surface of the airport chair with your fingers at the same time, and mark it immediately if it is loose or makes abnormal noise. This "early detection and early treatment" strategy can prevent small problems from turning into major repairs. After Narita Airport implemented it, the annual overhaul demand for airport chairs decreased by 37%. In addition, seasonal deep maintenance plans can also be carried out. Before the rainy season: check the anti-rust coating of metal parts; before the peak season: reinforce all bolts; in the off-season: replace aging cushions in a centralized manner. Hong Kong Airport maintains according to this cycle, and the failure rate of airport chairs has been lower than the industry average for three consecutive years.
