What does OHTC mean in ENGINEERING

Overhead Travelling Cleaner (OHTC) is an automated cleaning system used to maintain cleanliness and hygiene in large open spaces. It moves along a track without human intervention and its cleaning capabilities are triggered by set operating parameters.

The OHTC uses sensors that detect dust particles or debris on surfaces and autonomously cleans them using the most suitable method depending on the surface type. This includes wiping, vacuuming, scrubbing and more.

The main benefit of using OHTC is that it helps save time and labour costs as it eliminates the need for manual cleaning processes. Additionally, it ensures consistent high levels of cleanliness as the sensors are able to detect dirt or debris at lower levels than what can be seen with the human eye.

No, OHTC works best in large open spaces where there are high ceilings or surfaces that are not easily accessible by humans. It is usually applied to warehouses, factories, shopping malls and other such buildings where maintaining cleanliness is a challenge due to the size or height of the space.

Maintenance requirements for an OHTC vary depending on usage frequency but typically include regular inspection and servicing of components such as sensors, motors and mechanical parts every 3-6 months to ensure optimal performance. Additionally, it also needs regular refills of consumables such as water tanks or bags for dust collection depending on the model being used.
