Cleaning robots in building cleaning – efficient, quiet and ideal for large areas
When you think of building cleaning, you often think of someone with a bucket and mop, early in the morning or late at night. Perhaps a little tired, but thorough. But a lot has changed in the industry since then – or rather, it's evolved. Cleaning robots are no longer a thing of the future; they've long been part of everyday life in office complexes, shopping centers, or large administrative buildings that require complex cleaning tasks.
What fascinates me about them is that these autonomous devices simply work consistently and efficiently, improving the quality of cleaning. No breaks, no fatigue, no stress. They take over the daily routine – vacuuming floors, damp mopping, sometimes even analyzing where it's particularly dirty, and they do this in different environments to maximize the quality of cleaning. And while you sit in a meeting or walk through the foyer, the autonomous robot silently does its job.

One robotics manufacturer that stands out in this area is Kärcher. Sebotics, an innovative player in the facility services industry, has also developed mapping solutions. I particularly like three models: the scrubber-dryer robot, which is intuitive to use. J40, an example of an innovative scrubber-dryer robot that increases efficiency. The TN70, a further advancement in autonomous floor cleaning and robotics.
And – my favorite, to be honest – the robot vacuum cleaner that can also mop. Fantasy, a new robot vacuum cleaner with mopping function equipped with advanced technology.
The autonomous cleaning robot is an example of modern building services. The J40 is compact, precise, unobtrusive, and ideal for cleaning large areas. It's ideal for narrow hallways, entrance areas, or high-traffic areas. It's quiet, navigates neatly around tables and chairs, remembers its surroundings—and completes its tasks without causing a disturbance. I once saw it in a co-working space, where it moved between people and laptops, completely unfazed.
For larger, open spaces, such as exhibition halls or administrative buildings, the TN70 cleaning robot with advanced sensors and brushes is ideal for manual cleaning or the use of cobots. The device has plenty of power and can cover a lot of ground. I think it's particularly clever that it can be equipped with different brush types—making it truly adaptable to different floor coverings or cleaning requirements in the industry. And here, too: no noise, no effort during cleaning tasks, which makes the work of facility services easier. Simply plug in and let it run—ideal for efficient cleaning of large areas.

And then there's the autonomous cleaning robot, Phantas, equipped with docking stations. It's quite futuristic in design, but also quite sophisticated for the cleaning industry. It combines various cleaning modes in one device, even detects stubborn dirt with sensors and treats it specifically, making it an ideal robot vacuum. What I like: It's not a gimmick. It's not this "high-tech at any price" thing, but a functional tool for daily cleaning in an airport.
Of course, cleaning robots don't replace an entire team of cleaners, but rather support them with monotonous tasks. However, they do provide significant relief for the cleaning staff, allowing them to focus on more demanding tasks. This is especially true for routine floor cleaning, where sensors play a key role. And they help maintain consistently high standards, even in times of staff shortages or budget pressure.
Ultimately, perhaps these very qualities make them so interesting: They are reliable and intuitive. They work without demanding attention. And they demonstrate that productivity increases through the use of cleaning robots and cobotics in building cleaning.
Economic efficiency and sustainability: Two strong arguments
What must not be forgotten with all this technological progress: cleaning robots also bring economic benefits. Perhaps not immediately—purchasing them is, of course, an investment. But over time? They often pay for themselves faster than you think. Especially when you consider how consistently and efficiently the devices work. No downtime, no vacation time, no gaps due to illness. This not only saves costs but also provides planning security.
And then there's the sustainability aspect. Modern cleaning robots – like those from Sebotics – are astonishingly economical in their water and energy consumption. Some models even use intelligent dosing systems that only use as much cleaning agent as is absolutely necessary. It sounds like a small detail, but in large building complexes, it all adds up. Fewer resource consumption means less environmental impact – and that's a point that many companies actively communicate (and expect) these days.
What surprised me personally: Some robots can also collect data. Not for monitoring purposes, but for optimization purposes. They document how often which area has been cleaned, where soiling occurs repeatedly, or where cleaning intervals need to be adjusted. This gives facility management completely new possibilities for controlling processes based on data – something that seemed completely unthinkable just a few years ago.
In short: Cleaning robots aren't just devices that clean, they're also capable of sending notifications. They're part of a smarter, more sustainable overall system. And they demonstrate that digitalization in building cleaning isn't just a buzzword—it's already a reality. Quiet. Efficient. And in many cases... surprisingly human, at least when you consider the cleaning results.
