【Corporate Privileged Customer】Automated Cleaning Robots – a Standard for the Future

The advancement of technology and the widespread use of the internet has revolutionized the way we live. At the same time, the emergence of collaborative robotics is revolutionizing working patterns. Cobots – collaborative robots – are designed for human interaction and can work safely alongside people in factories and offices. As a leading manufacturer of intelligent floor cleaning equipment, ICE Cobotics took the lead in developing intelligent cleaning as a business. The company has launched the world’s first automated floor cleaning and vacuuming cobots that will set a new standard for the future.

A : How does the rise of collaborative robots help to support our work?

M: You may have noticed that some restaurants and shopping malls have set up robots to help with tasks such as food delivery and disinfection. Robots are becoming increasingly common in people’s daily lives around the world. Robotization helps to improve workplace ergonomics and free humans from very laborious and often repetitive work. For example, it is common for cleaning staff to repeatedly use a mop and bucket to do the cleaning every day. It is a time-consuming work and the repetitive movements make staff more prone to injury. Using collaborative robots, we only need to give a simple instruction and then the robots will assist with cleaning. We can then shift the time saved from cleaning tasks to other more important work and improve overall efficiency as a result.

A : As an industry leader, what special service does ICE Cobotics provide?

M: We are the only service provider that offers an automated cleaning equipment subscription service. We provide customers with a flexible subscription period that enables them to experience the ease of our all-inclusive service and enjoy a set monthly payment backed by proactive support from our team. The most important thing is that customers do not need to bear unexpected additional expenses.

A : What are the special features of an ICE Cobotics robot?

M: Our main clients include property management companies and cleaning companies. We will soon launch a new model for our automated cleaning robot – it will be our smallest cleaning robot so far that is suitable for using in retail shops. Using the company's self-developed i-Synergy app, customers can formulate daily cleaning times and cleaning routes according to their actual needs, tracing the cleaning status in real time. You can also compare the daily cleaning performance by using the data collected. This can help improve cleaning efficiency and reduce the workload of staff at the same time.

A : What does ICE Cobotics think about the importance of the link between clean

indoor air and our health?

M: We moved our headquarter to Kwun Tong in 2020, and it was inevitable that odors and chemicals would be left after the renovation. It was also the beginning of the COVID outbreak at that time, so we decided to install an air purifier to help ensure the cleanliness of the indoor environment and provide a safe and carefree working environment for our staff. The Amway Atmosphere Sky™ Air Treatment System is effective in removing more than 340 airborne contaminants with a single pass efficiency performance of 99.99% and can remove particles down to sizes as small as 0.0024 microns. It is also accredited with various authoritative certifications which made us feel more reassured. We hope that colleagues and customers visiting our showroom can appreciate our intention to provide a safe environment.
