WHS
slip-risk pressure
Industrial cleaning often involves slip, trip and fall risks, so spill control, swarf removal and wet/dry transition cleaning must be planned around active production traffic.

01 · The Production Reality
Every unclean square metre is a WHS risk, a line stoppage, or a cost leak.
Australian manufacturers are running lean shifts on ageing concrete with tighter audit expectations than ever. Manual cleaning can't keep pace, and the financial, safety and compliance exposure compounds across every zone — production hall, loading dock, yard.
24/7
production pressure
Industrial facilities often need floor care around night shifts, loading windows and continuous operations, leaving little room for manual cleaning bottlenecks.
3
audit evidence demand
Internal reviews, customer audits and site inspections increasingly ask for route records, completed cleaning areas and timestamps rather than handwritten shift notes alone.
02 · The FloorBotics Solution
One autonomous cleaning platform purpose-built for industrial realities.
Scrub, sweep and outdoor-clean priority zones with industrial robot cleaning machines configured around traffic patterns, surface types and the reporting needs of Australian manufacturing operations.
Hazard-Aware Navigation
Multi-layer LiDAR plus 3D depth sensing — forklift, AGV and pedestrian-zone aware with enforced reduced-speed corridors and spot-hazard no-go zoning.
Oil, Swarf & Spill Programmes
Brush, scrub and recovery settings can be matched to common industrial residues such as oil, carbon, food-grade soils and metallic swarf across different floor zones.
Audit-Grade Proof of Clean
Cleaning reports can help teams review completed routes, run times and coverage areas for internal operations reviews and customer audit preparation.
Indoor / Outdoor Programmes
One deployment can cover polished concrete, transition aprons and outdoor hardstand, with cleaning plans adjusted to the surface type and zone requirements.
Supports Slip-Risk Cleaning Programs
Dry-pass sequencing and controlled water use support safer wet/dry transitions before the next shift or vehicle movement through the zone.
Plant-Wide Cleaning Visibility
Operations teams can review scheduled cleaning, completed zones and robot status without relying only on manual shift notes.
03 · The Industrial Fleet
Three platforms. Three deployment zones. One console.

One fleet. Practical value for the industrial decision committee.
FloorBotics deployments are easier to evaluate when each team can see how the industrial robot cleaner supports labour planning, production flow, safety programs and site cleanliness.
For the CFO
Clearer cleaning cost modelling
Robot coverage, operating time and scheduled cleaning windows can be reviewed against current labour and contractor spend.
Site-specific TCO planningFor the COO
Cleaning planned around production flow
Scheduled routes help keep floor care aligned with shift changes, packaging runs, loading windows and pedestrian traffic.
Route-based operations reviewFor the EHS / WHS Lead
Supports slip-risk cleaning programs
Consistent cleaning routes, controlled water use and completed-run records can support WHS reviews and internal audits.
Zone-based cleaning recordsFor the Plant Manager
Less repetitive manual scrubbing
Autonomous cleaning can reduce the time teams spend on repetitive floor passes and support higher-value plant hygiene tasks.
Better use of cleaning teams05 · Operations & Compliance Support
Built to support cleaner, more reviewable industrial floors.
FloorBotics robot cleaning machines help operations and safety teams plan cleaning by zone, review completed routes and keep high-traffic factory areas easier to manage.
Scheduled floor cleaning can be planned around production halls, loading areas and pedestrian walkways.
Routes can be organised around production floors, packaging zones, warehouses and yard transitions.
Completed routes, run times and coverage areas can be reviewed by operations and safety teams.
Robot operation logs can reduce reliance on handwritten shift notes and manual checklists.
FloorBotics machines are planned around forklifts, AGVs, pedestrians, queues and temporary barriers.
Reception corridors, visitor routes and accessible paths can be included in the cleaning plan when required.
06 · Deployment Planning
Plan indoor, transition and outdoor cleaning as one program.
A manufacturing deployment can combine Quad 800, Quad 1100 and Max 100 units across production halls, loading docks and external yards, with each robot selected for the surface type and cleaning task.
- 0Deployment zones
- 0 hrQuad 800 operating time
- 0 m²/hQuad 1100 max cleaning efficiency
- 0 m²/hMax 100 max sweeping efficiency
A practical industrial cleaning plan should match the robot to the floor: compact scrub and sweep coverage inside the plant, larger scrubber-sweeper support through transition zones, and dedicated sweeping for yards and perimeter areas.
