5 key factors help you to choose a commercial cleaning robot.

How can cleaning operations ensure the highest level of cleanliness, safety, health with the lowest cost, especially when staff turnover is high? Commercial cleaning robots can help you.

Advantages of Commercial Cleaning Robots

When chosen and used properly, commercial cleaning robots can help in many ways, including:

- More consistent cleaning for increased effectiveness, efficiency and productivity.

- Better respond to the shortage of cleaners.

- Attract cleaning staff interested in using new technology.?

- Take existing cleaners to do complex jobs and redirect them to higher value-added tasks.

- Improve employee satisfaction.

- Improve employee ergonomics.

- Enjoy a relatively high return on investment (ROI) in a relatively short period of time.

- Collect objective performance data to monitor things like cleaning productivity and quality assurance.

Commercial cleaning robot technology has changed a lot over the past few years.?They are not the same as they were five years ago.?they:

- smarter.

- more effective and efficient.

- quieter.

- more ergonomic.

- Can be used for a wider variety of tasks.

- Simpler and easier to use.

Today's commercial cleaning robots come in all sizes, shapes, and forms and can clean almost any surface.?Floor care robots, such as programmable autonomous scrubbers, sweepers, vacuums, and combo units that can even sense spills to spot-clean carpets, are just the beginning.?There are also robotic UV disinfection units, window cleaning and roof inspection drones, self-dumping waste hoppers, bathroom cleaning robots, and even walking robots that can do everything from cleaning to picking warehouse orders.?Future robots are as endless as imagination and will continue to expand as technology advances.

5 key factors

While exciting, the number of options can be overwhelming when it comes to choosing the best robot for their cleaning job.?With this in mind, the following five considerations can help facility managers and cleaning service outsourcing companies select and adopt the right robotic technology for their cleaning operations.

Requirement.?Before buying a robot, the first step is to carefully analyze the needs and compare the robotics technologies and manufacturers that can meet this need.?A "smart" automatic scrubber can improve cleaning quality while reducing overall costs over time.?Cleaning robots should not be purchased just because they are "cool".?If a robot doesn't improve current operations by solving a specific goal, the money is probably best spent, especially since most commercially available cleaning robots aren't cheap.

Improve overall effectiveness and efficiency.?Cleaning 5,000 square meters per day generally requires 300 hours of manual labor per month if traditional cleaning tools are used.?And some robotic scrubbers only need about 130 hours per month to do the same job -- more than twice as efficient.?The time a cleaning technician spends on this task can be redirected to less routine, labor-intensive, value-added tasks, or to augment services that were not previously provided.

Sustainability.?As protecting the environment becomes increasingly important to commercial entities and building occupants, most facilities want to reduce their carbon footprint.?Commercial cleaning robotic devices use less water and chemicals than traditional cleaning methods.?At the same time, today's models are designed to be energy efficient, making robots attractive to customers and other stakeholders.

Safety.?As most facility managers and commercial cleaning operations know, cleaning can be more dangerous than people suspect.?Today, robots are taking over many of the more dangerous jobs.?They are being used to protect workers from accidents and injuries from falls from ladders and scaffolding, as well as to inspect roofs and clean confined spaces.?This benefit is very important for businesses looking to improve or maintain a good safety record.

Trial.?Once the needs have been identified, and the benefits of adopting robotics based on the considerations above, it must be recognized that not all devices are created equal, especially robotics.?Facility managers and cleaning service companies need to do research, including having a variety of potential manufacturers and equipment demoed at their site, tested in their floor types and conditions, dust types and loads, occupant constraints and other real-world conditions equipment.?Models should also be tested by their own staff to gather their opinions and support.?Additionally, there should be key business objectives, including key performance indicators (KPI), so that after each robot test, current operations are compared to the same KPI.

Commercial cleaning robots-from multipurpose robots of all sizes to improved artificial intelligence (AI)-are revolutionizing the way our businesses and public facilities are cleaned and maintained.?They are efficient, effective and offer a safer, more sustainable and cost-effective alternative to manual cleaning.?While implementing these machines can be complex, the value far outweighs the challenges.
