Bradley Company has introduced Float™ Partitions with Nexa, a smart and connected restroom partition system that 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 while providing airport facility managers with real-time occupancy data to help optimize restroom operations, improve passenger flow and support more efficient terminal operations.

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. With Float Partitions with Nexa, an optional digital display outside the restroom shows how many stalls are available 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. By reducing uncertainty and helping travelers quickly locate available restrooms, airports can reduce congestion, improve passenger flow and help keep travelers moving efficiently through the terminal.

Turning Occupancy Data into Operational Intelligence
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 managers real-time visibility into restroom utilization, peak traffic periods and overall system status. Rather than relying solely on routine inspections, airport teams gain actionable occupancy data that helps prioritize cleaning, maintenance and staffing decisions based on actual restroom demand. The result is more efficient operations, better allocation of resources and data-driven planning for one of the terminal’s busiest passenger amenities.

Bradley’s 2026 Healthy Handwashing Survey™ reinforces the demand for greater restroom visibility, finding that 86% of U.S. adults believe it would be valuable for restrooms in high-traffic locations to display how many stalls are available before they enter.
“Travelers have come to expect real-time information throughout the airport experience,” said 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.”
Smart Technology Meets Modern Euro Style Design
Float Partitions with Nexa combines Bradley’s premium Float Euro Partitions with cloud-connected occupancy monitoring, delivering real-time restroom visibility for travelers and actionable occupancy insights for airport facility managers. Integrated LED occupancy indicators communicate stall status while capturing real-time occupancy data for the Nexa platform.
Airport facility managers can remotely monitor occupancy and system status through the Nexa Dashboard, while an optional digital display outside the restroom communicates available stalls at a glance. Maintenance mode allows staff to temporarily designate a restroom as unavailable during cleaning or servicing, directing travelers to alternate facilities.
In addition to its connected technology, Float Partitions feature Bradley’s signature Euro Style design with a distinctive floating appearance, concealed hardware and durable Phenolic LT construction. The clean, architectural aesthetic complements today’s modern airport terminals while delivering the long-term durability required for demanding, high-traffic environments.
By combining real-time occupancy monitoring with actionable occupancy insights, Float Partitions with Nexa help airports improve passenger flow, optimize restroom operations and enhance the traveler experience.
