AUTOMATED FLOOR CLEANING
Cleaning internal and external floors of busy warehouse and logistics centres is always going to be a challenge. These are fast moving environments that often operate on a 24-hour basis and constantly accumulate debris, dust and marks. This makes it difficult for operatives to keep the floors clean and safe. The use of robotic floor cleaning machines can certainly help with this challenge, and they are already being used successfully in warehouse, distribution and manufacturing environments today.
Automated floor cleaning machines offer an ideal solution for repeatable tasks, as they guarantee high standards of cleaning in a uniform and thorough manner, whilst the operatives can focus on more detailed cleaning.
Automating cleaning tasks is about offering flexibility, along with cost savings and improved standards, and many of our major customers are already enjoying these benefits. The feedback that we continue to receive is that using a robotic machine gives the operative time to do detailed cleaning, which often gets missed if they are spending time pushing a floor cleaning machine around. Clearly pay-back on this sort of technology is a major discussion point, but with rental options now available that remove the need to up-front investment, the benefit of incorporating robotics and automation can be felt immediately.
ICE have extensive experience in this area, with robotic scrubber dryers that have been on the market for the past decade, with proven results. Our latest robotic machine, the ICE Robo 3, is the most advanced fully automated scrubber dryer on the market.
Thanks to its unique laser and sensor technology, it can clean complex areas in a thorough and uniform manner.
It offers unlimited cleaning patterns and super-fast mapping, as well as consistent cleaning right up to the edge. Robo 3 offers continuous cleaning for up to 6 hours, plus it completely avoids static, temporary or moving obstacles. It will return to clean any areas that have been missed due to temporary obstacles being placed within the cleaning area.
The machine can be set to clean different areas at a time to suit the facility, and it leaves floors clean and dry immediately – therefore dealing with the issue of health & safety or slips and trips.
As well as the Robo 3, we are extending our range of automated cleaning equipment this year, with the launch of some exciting new vacuum, scrubber and sweeper products. Watch this space!
SUSTAINABLE CLEANING
Finding ways in which we can reduce water consumption is of huge importance, especially given the vast amount of water used during even simple cleaning operations. Thanks to the introduction of more and more innovative technologies, we are able to look at new ways of re-using water within the floor cleaning process, whilst ensuring that the quality of cleanliness is not impacted.
Water recycling capabilities within floor cleaning machines is one such example – the water used within scrubber dryers can be filtered and recycled whilst the machine is in use, dramatically reducing the amount of water needed, and resulting in savings of up to 1,000 litres per day!
This in-shift water-saving technology, which is contained in a number of ICE machines, optimises operator time, cleaning time and machine utilisation along with delivering productivity benefits of up to 70%. The sustainable solution recycles the water whilst the machine is in operation, giving freedom to clean with unparalleled output and efficiency. Plus, this self-cleaning filtering system can result in savings of up to 90% on water costs associated with cleaning.
Not only does this type of system benefit the environment, it also helps businesses to increase cleaning productivity and reduce wasted time. As no stops are needed to empty, clean and refill the machine, it is possible to enhance productivity and achieve labour savings of over 25%.
We also offer a huge range of traditional scrubber dryers, sweepers and combination machines, all ideal for cleaning industrial facilities.
