Autonomous cleaning staff
The market’s interest in autonomous machines has increased substantially – not least because of the increasing shortage of skilled labour in the cleaning industry. Since Hako always develops new products with a close eye on future requirements, we are, of course, already working on a solution: namely the Scrubmaster B45 i, our prototype of an autonomous cleaning machine.
Technology becomes autonomous
Equipped with an innovative drive technology, special sensors, a 3-D camera system and our in-house-developed navigation software, this machine is able to carry out standardised work autonomously. We have married the squeegee and the brush head and moved the drive system to the rear of the machine in order to optimise the cleaning result. This not only optimises the water intake but also reduces the times the machine gets stuck when coming up against obstacles, and improves both its traction and manoeuvrability.
User-friendliness becomes smart
Future-oriented technological solutions are made for people. This is why Hako particularly focussed on user-friendly operation and programming when developing the autonomous cleaning machine. A tablet with an innovative and intuitive touch screen allows easy loading of routes and makes operating the machine very simple. Yet another benefit for both the cleaning staff and the operating company: The machine can also be used manually as a conventional walk-behind scrubber-drier to carry out quick interim cleaning tasks.
Safety remains on a high level
Since the particular challenge of autonomous cleaning lies in carrying out applications in complex, public, and constantly changing environments, safety plays an important role. Test runs have provided evidence that Hako has successfully solved the issue of identifying and circumnavigating obstacles safely and reliably.
