Question 1

What is a commercial cleaning robot?

Accepted Answer

A commercial cleaning robot is an autonomous machine built to clean large, populated spaces such as malls, airports, offices and hospitals without an operator walking behind it. It maps its area, uses dynamic path planning to work out its own route rather than following a fixed schedule, navigates around people and changing obstacles, and returns to its dock to recharge and to refill and discharge grey water. Unlike a domestic robot vacuum, it is built for long runtimes, integrates with building systems, and reports completed work back to facility management software.

Question 2

What is an autonomous floor scrubber?

Accepted Answer

An autonomous floor scrubber is a self-driving machine that washes and dries hard floors without a human operator. It handles the wet-cleaning task that a sweeping or vacuum robot cannot. The SIMPPLE Robotics range includes several scrubbing models for different floor types and site sizes, alongside sweeping, vacuum, mopping and disinfection formats.

Question 3

What is a multi-functional robot?

Accepted Answer

A multi-functional robot performs more than one task in a single unit, rather than being built for one job. In the SIMPPLE range this works two ways. Multi-functional cleaning robots combine floor scrubbing, mopping, sweeping and vacuum cleaning in one machine, so a site does not need a separate robot for each floor type or soil level. Gemini and Orion go further, combining security surveillance, cleaning and digital concierge functions in one unit, so a single deployment covers work that would otherwise require two or three separate fleets.

Question 4

What cleaning tasks can SIMPPLE robots perform?

Accepted Answer

The SIMPPLE Robotics range covers seven functions: sweeping, floor scrubbing, vacuum cleaning, disinfection, mopping, security surveillance and delivery. A single site can run several formats together, and multi-functional models such as Gemini and Orion combine cleaning with security patrol in one machine.

Question 5

Can SIMPPLE manage robots made by other manufacturers?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The SIMPPLE Robotics range includes SIMPPLE's own robots and partner robots from other manufacturers, all managed from the same platform. A building is not locked into a single manufacturer's hardware, and robot activity from every brand in the fleet appears in one record in SIMPPLE Software.

Question 6

How long does it take to deploy a cleaning robot?

Accepted Answer

Deployment takes under one hour at a 3,000 square metre site. Mapping, map editing and task creation are all performed on the robot itself. The navigation system requires minimal or zero assistance to position or guide the robot, and maps do not need to be rebuilt manually when the environment changes.

Question 7

What savings do cleaning robots deliver?

Accepted Answer

SIMPPLE reports over 30% cost savings and over 70% productivity savings on cleaning operations.

Question 8

Do the robots work with lifts, doors and access control?

Accepted Answer

Yes. SIMPPLE robots integrate with lifts, doors and other facility assets, so they can move between floors and through controlled areas without staff intervention. This is what allows a single robot to service a multi-floor building rather than being confined to one level.

Question 9

What is the difference between a sweeping robot and a scrubbing robot?

Accepted Answer

A sweeping robot collects dry debris from a floor surface. A scrubbing robot applies water and detergent, scrubs the surface and recovers the dirty water, which is what is needed for hard floors in high-traffic areas. Many sites run both, and some models in the SIMPPLE range combine sweeping and scrubbing in a single machine.

Question 10

Can one robot handle both cleaning and security?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Multi-functional models in the range perform security surveillance and cleaning in a single unit, which lets one deployment cover work that would otherwise need two separate fleets. Gemini and Orion are the multi-functional models in the SIMPPLE range.

Question 11

Where are SIMPPLE robots deployed?

Accepted Answer

SIMPPLE robots operate in commercial and public buildings across Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Australia, New Zealand and Japan, with more than 800 robots deployed.
