How to Get the Most From Cleaning Robots

Cleaning robots are revolutionizing how companies manage their workspaces. They offer a variety of features that can be customized to different industries. To benefit the most from these machines, search for models that have reliable cellular connectivity that offer remote troubleshooting as well as data reporting.

Choose a model that supports spot or zone cleaning to clean messy areas at the touch of a button. It's also an excellent idea to regularly remove and wash the brushes (and any edge or corner brushes) of your robot vac vacuum to avoid hair from getting tangled.

Autonomous Cleaning Robots

Robots that are autonomous can clean, sweep and disinfect areas without human interaction. They also can adapt to different environments and perform tasks that would be impossible for humans. Robotic cleaners save you time and money as they allow your staff to concentrate on other tasks.

While the most familiar type of autonomous cleaning robot is a household vacuum or robotic floor scrubber there are a myriad of professional-grade models that offer many more features than their consumer counterparts. Industrial-grade autonomous robots for instance, can be used to clean large warehouse floors and other heavily-soiled indoor areas. They can be configured to clean areas where humans aren't allowed to go, by employing wall-climbing technology, and other tools to ensure safe operation in tight spaces.

The majority of these robotic cleaning robots have a range of sophisticated sensors, including cameras and mapping software that allow them to identify rooms and avoid obstacles. Some even use AI to understand the way they're used and adjust accordingly, improving efficiency in the course of time.

These smart systems can be incorporated with other smart devices to create a connected, efficient facility. These robots are cost-effective and eco-friendly since they consume less energy. Many of these robots have been designed to work with other automated systems like building automation and material handling systems.

It's worth investing whether you require a single unit or a fleet of units, in this cutting-edge technology to improve the efficiency and performance of facility operations. Your investment will pay off in a short time because of the less need for manual work, increased operator safety and longer life expectancy of surfaces that are cleaned.

This pandemic provides a great opportunity to explore ways to incorporate these intelligent cleaning robots in your routine maintenance routine. This isn't just an opportunity to help your staff and decrease the risk of contracting infection, but it's also a great opportunity to show the public that you're advancing your cleaning program. You'll get the greatest value from your investment if you choose the right autonomous robots.

Robotic Vacuums

Robot vacuums employ sensors to detect obstacles and help them navigate their way around the home. Certain models are equipped with infrared sensors, similar to the ones found in self-driving cars, that create an imaginary map of the home. Other models use camera-based sensors to identify objects and eliminate them, resulting in a clean and efficient cleaning with less intervention from the user. The sensors also let you choose an area in your home for cleaning, either via the onboard controls or via a smartphone application. A few models even allow you to control the robot via voice commands, allowing you to choose to vacuum one room or send it to hug your walls for perimeter cleaning.

Robotic vacuums are great to remove dirt from carpets and rugs, but they're not able to penetrate pet hair clumps or other mess that require more than an easy sweep. They also don't pick up dust that is close to baseboards and other edges, which requires a more thorough cleaning than what you'd get with a traditional canister or upright vacuum.

When choosing a robot vacuum make sure you choose one with strong suction and brushes that are designed to collect dirt from surfaces. The most efficient models include features like object recognition technology, adjustable settings and pet mode. You'll want to check the manual for recommended maintenance intervals, but most models require minimal or no care beyond emptying the trash and wiping down the sensors, wheels, and charging contacts.

The majority of the top robotic hoovers vacuums and mops that we test integrate with smart home systems, allowing users to control them using smartphones or digital voice assistants such as Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. You can schedule or begin the cleaning process and set a timer to complete the entire area of your home even when you're not there. Some even allow a pause in during a cleaning session to recharge, and then resume where they began. However, many robot vacs aren't as effective as traditional vacuums on stairs or in tight spaces and their small sizes make it difficult to move around furniture.

Robotic Floor Scrubbers

Contrary to vacuum cleaners that are used to eliminate loose debris from floors and carpeting, robotic floor scrubbers use water to agitate and dissolve dirt and grime from hard surface flooring. They can be either self-propelled or controlled by a human. Most advanced models can automatically detect and navigate obstacles, which reduces cleaning time. Some use intelligent water management systems, which recycles and reuses clean water for hours of continuous operation.

Using a robotic cleaning machine can help to augment the amount of work in facilities that are understaffed or faced with high turnover rates. Staff can focus on other important tasks when robots are working. In a hospital, that could mean making sure that surfaces with high-touch like countertops, door handles and bathrooms are clean and cleaned. In the retail store it could be helping customers locate what they need and avoiding customer displeasure with smudges on windows and glass.

Robotic floor scrubbers are programmed to work at specific times, and their cleaning path can be customized with various modes to meet specific cleaning requirements. They can be monitored in real time and allow managers to track their progress using mobile apps or web-based portals. Certain manufacturers collect this information and make it available to users which allows them to pinpoint areas for improvement.

The simplest models, which can cost as low as $100, come with one reservoir of water and a static, swiffer-like pad that sprays and wipes as it accumulates dirt. More sophisticated models come with two rotating pads that brush and mop floors and have self-emptying docks for taking out dirty water and refilling with clean solution. The fanciest robot mop-vacs can even distinguish between different types of flooring and return to their dock mid-clean to dump unused cleaning solution clean their brushes and refill with fresh cleaning solution.

All kinds of robots are connected to a cloud-based system that provides detailed reports on their performance as well as usage and anomalies. This information can be accessed by facility managers, other employees and other personnel who have been granted remote access to the system.

Robotic Floor Mop

A robot mop will allow you to maintain your floors without touching them. These robots will scrub your wood floors and tiles in between deep cleaning sessions, and keep dirt, pet hair and other debris away. They work on all floors that are sealed that includes vinyl, laminate, and hardwood. The majority of robot mops come with an automatic timer that allows them to clean at specified intervals. You can also use the app to change cleaning modes, create schedules, and monitor when maintenance is needed for example, a filter replacement.

Floor mops that are robotic typically require an additional tank of water for mopping. It can be a challenge to refill and empty as the pads get dirty. Look for a model that has a self-emptying dock, or one that is easy to empty manually when needed.

Some models can also be vacuumed, but you may need to empty the dust bin after each cleaning session (unless it has a self-emptying base). If your floors are particularly dusty, you might get better results by letting the robot sweep first, and then mop.

Some robot mops allow you to add a cleaning agent into the tank of water. This gives them the ability to clean more effectively. It is essential to use only cleaners that are recommended by the manufacturer, since the use of unapproved cleaners can harm the machine or cancel the warranty.

Some apps allow you to not only stop and start your bot cleaner but also create an outline map and establish virtual barriers or no-go zones. Some apps will notify you when your battery is low or that the mop should be washed.

Think about a hybrid robot such as the Ecovacs Roborock Q Revo or Deebot X2. Both can save floor maps and monitor and automatically recharge when the battery is running low during a cleaning session. Both offer a variety of smart features such as a remote stop and start button, and an app that lets you to create an automatic cleaning schedule or observe when your mop requires maintenance.
