Autonomous vs. manual industrial floor cleaning

Why the autonomous B1 sweeper from ENWAY has great advantages in terms of efficiency, sustainability, safety and flexibility compared to manually operated sweepers.

ENWAY’s sweeper B1 cleans completely autonomously and has great advantages compared to manually operated sweepers, especially in terms of efficiency, sustainability, safety and flexibility. Cleaning with the B1 industrial sweeper is very accurate, even along curbs or walls. While a driver has to concentrate repeatedly on the alignment of the vehicle, the self-driving sweeper does this constantly and completely automatically. In addition, the best possible cleaning route is also selected automatically. This more efficient cleaning method through optimized travel routes and the fact that B1 is powered by a battery and not a combustion engine makes B1 a more sustainable sweeping solution than manually operated models. Anyone who uses green electricity operates the B1 in a completely climate-neutral manner. In addition, B1 can also vacuum particulate matter that could enter the atmosphere, whereby production companies make a further contribution to climate protection. The response time of the sweeping robot is very fast. B1 recognizes and processes sudden obstacles within fractions of a second thanks to strong sensor and processor performance. A human cleaner may not be able to avoid a serious collision due to the proverbial moment of shock. The autonomous sweeper, on the other hand, bypasses the obstacle independently, stops in time and waits until the path is clear again or chooses an alternative route. The flexible use of the self-driving sweeper is additionally expressed by the independence from service providers or internal staff who need to clean at off-peak times or at night and on weekends. In addition, the fleet management of the autonomous sweepers can be monitored, evaluated and, if necessary, adjusted via the user interface without IT knowledge. No additional markings are required in the application area, as B1 is based on a 3D map. Dust and garbage or litter will be swept up and unloaded autonomously. This means that B1 can be used indoors and outdoors as well as in different environments with specific and individual requirements.
