That’s right, full robotic cleaning. Robo cleaning has been around for over 5 years, but I thought I would feature it because it is always cool. Up to 70% of facility manager’s janitorial costs is in labor and burden. So any gains in cost savings has to come from labor to move the cost reduction dial. Intellibot Robotics has three cleaning robots, the Hydrobot (Scubber), Duobot (Sweeper/Scrubber) and Aerobot (Vacuum).
Ok, to be clear the robot is only for large spaces. Obviously with the large upfront cost, you have to have significant square footage to achieve a decent ROI. The industries served are airports, convention halls, manufacturing and large office buildings to name a few. Intellibot claims you can save up to 85% on labor.
