Cleaning robots in the sports hall – More than just clean floors
Autonomous cleaning robots are fundamentally changing the way sports halls are maintained. They operate independently, efficiently, and reliably – even when tight time frames or high usage frequencies would otherwise put pressure on the cleaning schedule. Especially in schools, this provides noticeable relief for cleaning staff, who can focus more on targeted cleaning tasks thanks to the automation of physically demanding tasks.
A concrete practical example illustrates the benefits: In a school gymnasium that was previously only cleaned weekly, complaints about the lack of cleanliness were mounting. The introduction of a cleaning robot from Sebotics brought about a turnaround. Since then, the gymnasium is not only visibly cleaner – the workload on the cleaning team has also been significantly reduced. Depending on the model, modern machines can clean up to 1.200 square meters per hour, making them ideal for large gymnasiums or triple-use halls.
However, the technological added value goes beyond practical use: The integration of cleaning robots fosters a tangible interest in automation and robotics among students. This not only makes the school cleaner, but also a place where pioneering technologies can be experienced and understood.
Cost savings through the use of cleaning robots
In addition to their high efficiency, modern cleaning robots also offer impressive financial benefits. Their economical use of water and energy significantly reduces ongoing operating costs. Thanks to intelligent navigation, cleaning occurs only where it's really needed – this not only reduces resource consumption but also extends the lifespan of the floors.
Another advantage: cleaning costs can be reduced by Pay-per-use models precisely tailored to the actual use. Especially in combination with a resin solvent, an economically efficient cleaning of sports halls is possible – in many cases already for less than 4 euros per sessionThis makes investing in cleaning robots not only sensible but also profitable.
There are also attractive options when it comes to financing: Leasing and hire purchase models make the entry into the business predictable and tax-efficient. The monthly leasing payments can be claimed as business expenses – a plus for liquidity. Investing in a cleaning robot is always worthwhile when you do the math.
An optional trial period, such as the one we offer, also provides the opportunity to evaluate the business benefits in practice before making a long-term decision.

Performance and speed of the cleaning robots
The power and speed of cleaning robots are impressive. Standard models can clean up to 500 square meters in an hour, while specialized models like those from Sebotics are optimized for sports halls and can cover even larger areas in less time. This makes them ideal for use in large school halls, where they can provide thorough cleaning every day.
An autonomous cleaning robot, capable of operating at night, optimizes the cleaning of large areas without disrupting school operations. In a triple sports hall, the robot can complete cleaning in just 40 minutes and uses 85% less water compared to traditional methods, demonstrating how efficient and environmentally friendly this technology is.
Practical experience and test results
Practical experience with cleaning robots has been consistently positive. The J-40 cleaning robot from Sebotics is being successfully deployed in the Roggern triple gymnasium in Kriens, Switzerland. The robot cleans autonomously at night, ensures consistently high levels of cleanliness, and significantly reduces manual effort. The caretaker team draws a consistently positive conclusion: The hall is more hygienic, the effort is lower, and the technology is easy to integrate.
Effective removal of resin residues
Resin residue on the hall floor—especially after handball matches—is one of the biggest challenges in the daily cleaning of sports facilities. Conventional cleaning methods quickly reach their limits. Modern cleaning robots, however, offer an efficient and systematic solution to precisely this problem.
In combination with a special resin solvent, the robots automatically apply the cleaning agent to the floor. After a short contact time, they thoroughly remove the sticky residue – without any additional manual effort. Side brushes and an antistatic roller brush are used to remove even stubborn dirt particles and allergens from edges and carpet fibers. A precise Mixing ratio of 33 ml resin solvent per liter of water ensures optimal cleaning performance and is gentle on materials at the same time.
The advantages are obvious: The entire process saves time, increases cleaning quality, and ensures a consistently hygienic environment – even at high capacity. Thanks to integrated sensors and smart software, modern devices automatically detect different floor coverings and types of dirt and adjust their cleaning behavior accordingly. This makes them particularly suitable for versatile use in school gyms with diversely used areas.
Test cleanings show that the robot not only removes resin but also deep-seated dirt, leaving the hall cleaner than before. The robot can operate in both autonomous and manual mode, depending on the number of people in the building. This provides flexibility and ensures continuous cleanliness.
Another advantage is that the test area was cleaner than the rest of the gym, further underscoring the effectiveness of the robots. These positive experiences and test results demonstrate that investing in cleaning robots is a future-oriented and cost-effective measure.
Leasing options and financing options
Leasing options offer a flexible and cost-effective way to finance cleaning robots. A flexible pay-per-use model allows municipalities to pay only for the area actually cleaned, making costs more transparent. This is particularly attractive for schools and municipalities on a limited budget.
