Start with your site

A useful cleaning robot proposal starts with the site. Define what must be cleaned, when the area is available and who will support daily operation.

Plan around your operating environment

Use these examples to organize a procurement brief. They describe questions to assess, not confirmed deployments or a promise that every model is suitable for every setting.

Site contextFloor and debrisCleaning window and routeDeployment and daily care
Public and commercial floorsRecord each material and finish; distinguish loose debris from adhered soil and spills.Map opening hours, pedestrian routes, entrances and areas that need supplementary cleaning.Agree operating zones, floor checks, replenishment and responsibility for exceptions.
Warehousing and logisticsDescribe floor joints, surface condition, packaging debris and any special dust or spill requirements.Record vehicle routes, loading activity, aisle clearances and windows when the route is available.Review traffic separation, restricted areas, charging location and debris or wastewater disposal.
Offices, hospitality and multiple roomsRecord changes in surface and finish; confirm which cleaning process each area permits.Measure doors, thresholds, furniture clearances and areas sensitive to disruption.Identify access responsibilities and any door, lift or docking integration for separate assessment.
Multiple sites or contracted cleaningBuild a separate floor and soil brief for each site rather than assuming identical requirements.Record site-specific schedules, access rules and the team available during each shift.Define handover, consumables, maintenance ownership and the process for reporting issues.
Assessment prompts only. Model suitability and any integrations require a review of the specific site and configuration.

Resolve deployment questions before selection

  • Reachable area: distinguish total building area from the actual cleaning route and the areas needing supplementary work.
  • Movement and access: measure passage widths, thresholds, slopes and turns; identify pedestrian and vehicle interactions.
  • Operating schedule: allow for the cleaning task, replenishment, emptying and routine care rather than battery runtime alone.
  • Site services: review power, charging, water and wastewater arrangements for the proposed configuration. Confirm any integration separately.
  • Acceptance: agree what a site assessment or demonstration should verify, including cleaning results, access limits and team responsibilities.

Prepare a practical site brief

  • Floor materials, finishes and typical soil or debris.
  • A floor plan, reachable cleaning area and access measurements.
  • Cleaning windows, traffic patterns and restricted zones.
  • Available charging, water and wastewater arrangements.
  • Who prepares, checks and maintains the machine, and who handles exceptions.

Discuss the application with the manufacturer

Send the information available for your site. Product selection and any customization can then be discussed against the actual cleaning requirements.
