Robotic Cleaning

For anyone responsible for keeping large areas of floor space clean, automated floor cleaning machines are an attractive alternative to traditional methods. The upfront cost of these machines can be hard to get over; however, only looking at the cost of the machine is short-sighted. Rather, you should think about automated floor cleaning equipment from a broad business perspective. Understanding how you can leverage automation in existing workflows gives you a much clearer picture of the benefits of floor-cleaning machines.

Before we delve into the specifics of why your floor cleaning machine should be a robot, we’ll cover these key terms.

  • AI (Artificial Intelligence): This is how we refer to intelligence in machines as opposed to humans. AI is more powerful than a traditional computer because it can learn things based on its environment.

  • Autonomous Cleaning: Autonomous cleaning is what artificially intelligent cleaning machines do. They autonomously clean, so they clean with no or very little direction or supervision.

Advances in artificial intelligence enable true productivity gains.


The idea of some type of automated or semi-automated cleaning machine is not particularly new in the cleaning industry. What sets the newer automated floor cleaning machines apart is that they leverage AI.

These new machines are truly autonomous, meaning human beings don’t have to constantly reset the machines anytime an object gets in the way. Regardless of how your operation runs now, autonomous machines allow you to restructure the way your employees work, making everyone more efficient.

Artificial intelligence and IoT builds productivity on top of productivity.


The IoT has transformed device communication across industries, including cleaning. Modern floor cleaning machines now use IoT and AI to become smarter with use. These machines also offer data reporting that helps optimize cleaning and maintenance schedules, improving workflows and extending equipment life—ultimately giving you more value for your money.

TrackClean fleet management system is just one example of a great software solution that provides easy access to invaluable operational information.

Remote access to your fleet of machines anywhere, anytime.


Whether you're managing a fleet of two or twenty-floor cleaning machines, you can stay informed and in control at all times. Despite their autonomy, you maintain complete oversight, which is crucial for facilities needing to comply with food safety or similar regulations.

Having instant access to detailed cleaning records is invaluable when certifications are at stake. The Nilfisk Liberty SC50 offers wireless cleaning performance reports and remote diagnostics, ensuring you always know what was cleaned and when.

Standardized cleaning across several locations.


Even the most skilled and reliable workers are still human, which means variability in cleaning is inevitable. Machines, however, deliver consistent, predictable results every time. This ensures that customers, employees, and executives at all your locations experience the same high standards of cleanliness, regardless of staffing levels.

Automated floor cleaning machines offer even more advantages—at least five reasons why they could be a game-changer for your operations. The efficiencies and insights gained may surprise you, but they will undoubtedly boost productivity.

They’re easy to use.


Take the EMMA, for example. Built by Brain Corp, EMMA stands for Enabling Mobile Machine Automation. EMMA is a module attached to existing floor cleaning equipment. To get a machine equipped with EMMA up and running, a worker first has to drive the machine on a route.

Through this first drive, EMMA learns the route. Once that’s done, EMMA will run the route the same way the next time, except when something gets in its way, EMMA adapts. Simple.
