How do I determine which robot is best for my business?
Our selection process evaluates several critical factors:
- Floor types (carpet, concrete, tiles, marble, etc.)
- Total area to be cleaned
- Obstacle density and types
- Required cleaning frequency
- Budget and operational constraints
We offer a free consultation and our Robot Selection Calculator to help with this decision.
What types of cleaning robots do you offer?
We offer four main categories:
- Hybrid robots (Carl CC1): 4-in-1 with vacuuming, washing, sweeping and wet cleaning
- Sweeping and vacuuming robots (Marc MT1, MT1 Vac): Specialized for large debris and carpet vacuuming
- Scrubbing robots (Scrubbot Pro, Titan 810): Professional washing and scrubbing
- Industrial robots (Largebot Pro, BG1): High capacity solutions for large installations
How do cleaning robot navigation systems work?
Our robots use advanced navigation technologies including:
- LiDAR for precise mapping and obstacle detection
- Proximity sensors for collision avoidance
- Gyroscopes and encoders for accurate positioning
- Artificial intelligence for route optimization
- Cameras for visual recognition (depending on model)
This combination enables safe autonomous navigation even in complex environments.
What area can a robot clean on a single charge?
This varies by model and conditions:
- Commercial robots: Generally 1,000 to 3,000 m² per charge
- Industrial robots: Up to 5,000 m² or more per charge
- Factors affecting autonomy: Cleaning type, obstacle density, surface type
Our robots include automatic charging stations to ensure continuous operation.
Can robots clean different types of floors?
Yes, our robots adapt to various surfaces:
- Carpets and rugs: Vacuuming with automatic height adjustment
- Hard floors: Concrete, tiles, marble, wood with appropriate wet cleaning
- Mixed surfaces: Hybrid robots automatically manage transitions
- Delicate surfaces: Adjustable settings to protect sensitive materials
How much maintenance do cleaning robots require?
Maintenance is minimal and simple:
- Daily: Empty dirty water tanks and refill with clean water
- Weekly: Clean brushes and filters
- Monthly: General inspection and sensor cleaning
- Semi-annually: Preventive maintenance by our technicians
We provide comprehensive training and detailed maintenance guides.
What happens if the robot encounters an unexpected obstacle?
Our robots integrate several safety measures:
- Automatic stopping when encountering undetectable obstacles
- Intelligent bypassing of temporary obstacles
- Return to base if navigation is compromised
- Real-time alerts to management application
- Automatic resumption once obstacle is removed
What's the typical return on investment for a cleaning robot?
ROI varies by application, but generally:
- Payback period: 12 to 24 months
- Labor savings: 60 to 80% of cleaning costs
- Efficiency improvement: Up to 3x faster than manual cleaning
- Consistent quality: Reduction in rework and complaints
We provide personalized ROI analysis during consultation.
Can robots integrate with our existing systems?
Yes, our robots support various integrations:
- Building management systems (BMS)
- Existing IoT platforms
- Elevators
- Automatic doors
- Security systems and access control
Our engineers can develop custom integrations according to your specific needs.
Can robots operate during business hours?
Absolutely. Our robots are designed to operate safely around people:
- People detection: Automatic stopping or bypassing
- Reduced noise levels: Quiet operation
- Flexible scheduling: Cleaning during or after business hours
- Operation modes: Adjustable based on foot traffic
