Softbank Robotics EMEA has signed a strategic partnership with NextFMRobotics, a sister company of Kenter gmbh, the leading provider of cleaning solutions, equipment and products in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
Under the agreement, Kenter will now offer Whiz, Europe’s first industrial cobotic vacuum sweeper, through their new NextFMRobotics brand, to its FM and cleaning contractor clients.
By implementing Whiz into their cleaning operations, NextFMRobotics can help its clients significantly improve cleaning performance and drive efficiencies. Importantly, Kenter can demonstrate innovation and deliver the new approaches contractors need in the ongoing fight against COVID-19.
Steffen Herrmann, Managing Director of NextFMRobotics, said: “We see huge potential for Whiz to make a real difference to our clients, increasing cleaning performance and helping to meet heightened client expectations around hygiene as a result of COVID-19.”
Whiz is a simple to use and reliable self-driving cleaning solution designed for vacuuming. It works alongside commercial cleaning teams, taking over repetitive, heavy-duty vacuuming of large areas of flooring, and freeing up workers to focus on high value tasks which make a real difference to service delivery and client satisfaction.
Jesper Christensen, VP Sales & Product at SoftBank Robotics EMEA, said: “We always look to work with forward-thinking cleaning solutions providers that are committed to delivering innovation and business value to their clients – and to helping them navigate these extremely challenging times. Kenter is exactly that and the launch of their new proposition in NextFMRobotics is something which we’re excited to be involved with.”
