Service and cleaning robots for businesses: Automating processes and reducing staff workload in a targeted way
Many companies face challenges due to staff shortages, rising operating costs and high service expectations. Autonomous robotics provides practical solutions to these issues, boosting efficiency in restaurants, the hospitality industry, building cleaning and other commercial applications. KEENON service and cleaning robots can handle routine transport and cleaning tasks independently. This frees up employees to focus on activities that require specialised knowledge and personal interaction.
Service robots perform errands and delivery tasks
Modern service robots can move autonomously through indoor spaces. They use sensors and intelligent navigation systems to perceive their surroundings, navigate around obstacles and dynamically adjust their routes. This makes them ideal for use in environments with fluctuating foot traffic, such as restaurants, hotels, cafeterias and care facilities.
One example is the KEENON DINERBOT T10. It can transport food, beverages and other service items independently to their destination. Its advanced environmental perception and obstacle avoidance system provides 300° 3D detection, ensuring safe operation even in busy areas. The robot also features a 23.8-inch screen that can display information or advertising content. Voice, touch and visual interaction enable intuitive operation. Passageways as narrow as 59 centimetres pose no obstacle to the system.
Additional variants of the DINERBOT T8 and DINERBOT T9 models are available to meet a range of requirements — from compact applications to higher transport capacities. All models share the common goal of automating repetitive routes and streamlining workflows.
Cleaning robots ensure consistent cleanliness
Autonomous robotics is also finding its way into the building cleaning industry. The KEENON KLEENBOT C40 is a multi-functional system that combines sweeping, vacuuming, mopping and dusting. Its workstation automatically charges the battery and empties and refills the tanks. This significantly reduces the need for manual maintenance.
The cleaning robot uses LiDAR, stereo cameras, line lasers and ultrasonic sensors for navigation. This sensor fusion enables reliable navigation, even in complex environments with foot traffic. The system is suitable for areas ranging from 500 to 4,500 square metres, including office buildings, hotels, educational institutions and retail spaces. Cleaning schedules can be created and tasks monitored via the app and web dashboard, as can operation reports.
Autonomous robotics supports, rather than replaces humans
KEENON service and cleaning robots support skilled workers by assisting them with routine tasks and reducing their workload in their day-to-day operations. They primarily handle transport and cleaning tasks. This makes workflows more predictable, reduces staff’s physical strain, and provides reliable support for processes, even during periods of high workload.
