In an increasingly rapid pace of technological advancement, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in various industries is becoming increasingly prominent. The Cleaning Industry and the HoReCa sector are no exception, with the introduction of Autonomous Machines and Robotic Solutions designed to transform the way spaces are cleaned and services are provided to customers.

Robotic Solutions employ AI to perform tasks that traditionally required human intervention, such as vacuuming, wiping, and even interacting with customers. These machines work in collaboration with employees, freeing them up to focus on more specialized and attention-demanding activities. With such automation, the Cleaning Industry and HoReCa are poised for significant changes, with the potential to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and optimize services. These innovations redefine facility maintenance and management practices.

In this article, we will explore how AI and robots are transforming the Cleaning Industry and services in the HoReCa sector, presenting examples of such machines and the benefits they bring to managers and business owners.

How Do These Machines Work? AI-powered machines use sensors to navigate through spaces and avoid obstacles; these sensors act as safety mechanisms, signaling the machine when to stop. Machine learning algorithms, complex codes, and other AI technologies enable machines to navigate complex environments, detect and avoid obstacles, and perform cleaning tasks with precision. As technology advances, even more sophisticated machines are anticipated, capable of delivering superior performance and higher levels of autonomy.

Benefits of Implementing Autonomous Machines in the Cleaning Industry and HoReCa:

Increased Efficiency: Autonomous machines allow the completion of daily cleaning tasks without human intervention, speeding up the process and reducing potential human-based risks. A 30% increase in productivity over the next ten years is estimated due to the implementation of robots in this field.

High Cleaning Standards: AI machines are programmed to maintain a constant and high level of cleanliness, eliminating the risk of neglecting certain areas.

Financial Savings: Investment in autonomous machines can bring significant savings, both by reducing maintenance costs and eliminating the need for additional workforce. Additionally, autonomous machines contribute to retaining customers by avoiding their loss due to poor services.

Enhanced Health and Safety: By avoiding dangerous tasks, cleaning staff can reduce the risk of workplace accidents.

Performance and Innovation: AI machines, such as Whiz, operate with BrainOS technology for autonomous navigation, providing superior efficiency and consistency in cleaning. These innovations can contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, supporting a more sustainable future.
