Remote workforce management technology company Ezitracker has introduced Robotic Vacuum Cleaners (RVC’s) into the contract cleaning environment with The Perfect Little Company (TPLC).
TPLC has successfully developed robotic vacuum cleaning systems for the commercial market, which are already being used to support schools, offices, warehouses and cleaning contractors across the UK.
The robots are usually rented in groups of 10, complete with a trolley (A hive), designed to increase their efficient use. Depending on site size, a single operator will typically use between one and four hives (10-40 robots) to vacuum 4,000-6,000ft² per hour. Cleaners can focus on other cleaning duties such as removing waste, wiping and dusting while the robots vacuum.
Through the partnership, Ezitracker can not only provide clients with much more detailed analysis on the reliability of employees, but also their productivity, and makes it easy for clients to identify those employees that are important to retain and where to deploy them whilst the robots clean.
Christian Berenger, Managing Director of Ezitracker, said: “A combination of robotic and internet technology is transforming the efficiency and effectiveness of facilities management and contract cleaning. The potential impact on productivity and results in the sector is enormous.
“Contractors already using our remote workforce technology are already able to highlight the staff that regularly turn up for work on time and are there until the end of their shift. We found that integrating robotic vacuum cleaners reduced the stress and strain on these cleaning staff. By increasing the amount of available time that they have to complete other cleaning duties, and training the staff to use the technology, it increased the value of each member of the cleaning teams.”
