Tires, parts and materials
Employees regularly retrieve tires, spare parts, or consumables themselves from the warehouse.

Robots for car dealerships and garages: transport, cleaning and customer service
Moving tires and spare parts, keeping the showroom and workshop clean, or handling simple service routes in the customer area: SEBOTICS It checks which recurring tasks in your company can be meaningfully automated and whether paths, floors and processes are suitable for this.
You don't need to have selected a model yet. To get started, simply state the task and location.

Tasks within the company
Where time is wasted daily at the car dealership
Recurring tasks arise between service reception, warehouse, workshop, showroom, and customer area. Together, they interrupt workflows and tie up capacity that is then lacking for customers and vehicles.
Showroom and entrance area
The areas should appear consistently well-maintained despite customer traffic and require scheduled cleaning windows.
Workshop and ancillary areas
Tire abrasion, liquids, joints and changing vehicles pose different requirements than sales areas.
Customer service during peak hours
During peak times, there is a lack of capacity for orientation and easy service routes.
Transport
Moving tires, parts and materials
A transport robot can take over defined routes between tire storage, parts storage, service reception and workshop.
- Moving tires or wheel sets with a suitable load carrier
- Provide spare parts and consumables
- Distribute tools, documents, and small parts
- handle return transport to the warehouse
Relevant factors include weight, dimensions, center of gravity, load securing, door widths, and loading and unloading.
Check transport route
Cleaning and service
Showroom, workshop and customer area
Clean showroom and customer areas
On suitable surfaces, cleaning robots can take over planned vacuuming, sweeping, mopping or scrubbing tasks, for example before opening, after closing time or during quiet time windows.
Assess workshop and ancillary areas separately
Not every liquid or workshop contaminant can be picked up by a standard cleaning robot. Small or frequently changing areas may be more efficiently cleaned manually.
Receiving and orienting customers
A service robot does not replace personal consultation. It can greet visitors, provide directions, display authorized information, or bring drinks and documents.
Suitability check
Is autonomous robotics suitable for your location?
Before selecting a model, we examine the route, area, infrastructure and responsibilities in real-world operation.
Road widths and turning areas
Doors, thresholds and ramps
Soil types, mats and slopes
Customer and vehicle traffic
Weight and dimensions
loading and unloading
Parking space and charging point
Network and interfaces
Responsibilities within the company
Procedure in case of malfunctions
The result is not automatically "buy a robot". It could also mean: directly suitable, suitable with modifications, or not currently economical.
Curated preselection
Suitable robot types and models
The models serve as an initial guide. The most suitable solution depends on the task, route, terrain, and necessary handover.
AutoXing AX8112 L-300
For defined material handling using platform or lifting solutions. Check beforehand: load, dimensions, securing, and transfer.
View model in detailAutoXing AX1612 MARS
For clearly defined delivery and service routes. Prior checks are required: access routes, public traffic, and handover procedures.
View model in detailZaco X1000
For suitable indoor spaces in the showroom or customer area. Check the floor profile, furnishings, and available space beforehand.
View model in detailPudu CC1 Pro
For suitable vacuuming, sweeping, mopping, or scrubbing tasks. Check beforehand: dirt levels, narrow passages, and working area.

From task to functioning deployment
Define task
We define a specific route, area, or service routine and the desired result.
Record process
Frequency, time spent, loads, handovers, contamination and exceptions are documented.
Check location
Paths, floors, doors, ramps, traffic volume, parking space and connections are evaluated.
Select robot type
Then, suitable models, designs, and possible interfaces are compared.
Testing in operation
Navigation, handovers, cleaning results and care effort are tested in the real environment.
Team training
Routes, time windows, responsibilities, and procedures for handling disruptions are defined. The team receives practical training.
Cost effectiveness
Check with your company data
A blanket statement about savings would be irresponsible. The evaluation begins with the current process and the remaining manual effort.
Record current expenses
- Number and duration of today's routes
- Frequency of the task
- actual reachable cleaning area
- Preparation, loading and rework
- necessary manual interventions
Evaluate the entire operation
- Acquisition or usage model
- Accessories, integration and infrastructure
- Maintenance, consumables and support
- Standstill and replacement process
- actual usable free capacity
The pilot project should measure journeys or cleaning cycles, time spent, interruptions, manual interventions, and the remaining effort. Time freed up initially represents additional capacity. It becomes economically beneficial once it is determined how this capacity will be used.
Limits and contingency plan
What robots cannot do
- Autonomous does not mean without supervision.
- Loading and unloading remain manual without additional transfer technology.
- Doors and elevators do not work automatically with every system.
- Changing vehicles and objects can block routes.
- The showroom and workshop may require different solutions.
- Technical work, advice and decisions remain with the team.
- A manual backup procedure must exist for malfunctions.
- An internally responsible person must be designated.
Frequently asked questions
Answers before the site inspection
Can a robot transport tires or wheel sets?
Yes, if the weight, dimensions, mounting, load securing, and distance are suitable for the chosen solution. This must be checked on the actual goods being transported.
Can a cleaning robot also clean workshop floors?
This depends on the floor surface, type of dirt, liquids, obstacles, and available space. A test cleaning is particularly important for workshop areas.
Can the robot operate during ongoing operations?
This may be possible. Customer, vehicle and employee traffic must be tested in the real environment and suitable time windows must be determined.
Can robots navigate ramps and go through doors?
Only within the approved technical limits of the specific model. Gradient, thresholds, door width, and potential interfaces are checked beforehand.
Is robotics also useful for smaller garages?
The frequency and clarity of the task determine its usefulness. For small or highly variable areas, a manual solution may be more practical.
What happens in the event of a malfunction?
The operational concept defines who receives a notification, who is allowed to intervene, and how the task is temporarily continued manually.
Next Step
What task should a robot perform in your company?
Describe your transport route, cleaning area, or service routine. We will review the parameters and show you the next logical step, without requiring you to commit to a specific model beforehand.
Helpful for an initial assessment: floor type, area, typical load, distance, door widths, and any existing thresholds or ramps.
