How to keep your warehouse floor clean?

The challenges of cleaning a warehouse

Cleaning warehouses is highly essential to ensure that workers work in a hygienic environment. But cleaning it can be time-consuming and tedious. In most of the warehouses as of today’s date, it is really difficult to deploy a regular cleaning schedule. The major reasons for this irregular schedule are because of the ever-increasing labor costs, poor job satisfaction, limited labor availability, and health-related risks associated with cleaning industrially dirty environments. On average, most of the warehouses are cleaned once every month. This period is not fixed and there are facilities which clean their environment once every 3 months. This standard of maintenance can affect the workers’ health in the long term, spoil the expensive machinery in production warehouses, reduce its lifespan, and deposit dirt in storage shells of storage warehouses which should be improved in practice.

Seems like you might be having a lot of questions. So, let’s try to answer some of them. 

Why is the robot smaller in comparison to your usual cleaning machines?

Larger machines help in cleaning faster and cover more area at one time. This can be useful if you would like to clean quickly before you would like to close your operations. But since the robots can be used anytime, they don’t need to be so large and that fast. Important thing is to collect that dirt and clean the floor properly.

Can the robot work at night? And who would run it?

You can easily schedule the cleaning with SB2 to meet your desired schedule, and it will take care of the rest for you. And yes it can work in the dark as well. 

Can the robot work in a busy and dynamic environment?

Yes, our robots are able to navigate around the ever-changing environment due to our integrated software and hardware. And this is something that is quite different from other semi-autonomous cleaning machines and makes our robot actually autonomous.

But how about those fast-moving forklifts and huge reach trucks?

We know that your employees like to drive those forklift trucks in beast mode. But our advanced sensors and obstacle avoidance algorithms are smart enough to detect many kinds of static and moving objects, including those speedy forklifts. And moreover, with various indicators and spotlights, it becomes easy for drivers to spot the robot while it is cleaning.

Can it clean as well as a traditional cleaning machine?

Yes, and this is something that we would like to show you at your own facility. Our experts can assist you in finding the right amount of brush speed and water usage for your daily use. This way you are also able to save a significant amount of water in comparison to the larger machines.
