A campus too large for manual floor care alone
Keeping floors clean across 14 buildings and more than 2 million square feet is endless work. Repetitive floor cleaning eats the hours facility teams would rather spend on the high touch areas people see and use every day.
Spreading that work across a campus this size means many routes, many floor types and a lot of repetition. A program that works in one lobby does not automatically work in every building. The real question was how far a robot program could reach beyond a single floor.
A pilot first, then daily janitorial work
The rollout began with a pilot across key buildings, run with several manufacturers side by side. Each unit was assessed on performance, usability and environmental fit, using a technology agnostic approach that kept the choice tied to how robots actually worked on this campus.
Once the pilot showed what fit, the robots moved into daily janitorial work. Autonomous scrubbers and vacuums took over the repetitive floor cleaning, so staff could concentrate on high touch areas. The first runs took place during daytime hours, ahead of an executive campus tour.
- Pilot across key buildings with robots from multiple manufacturers
- Assess performance, usability and environmental fit before scaling
- Move proven units into daily janitorial floor cleaning
- Keep staff focused on high touch areas while robots handle repetitive floor work
- Run first operations in daytime hours ahead of an executive campus tour
Scale and efficiency, as reported
The deployment reached 50 autonomous robots across 14 buildings and more than 2 million square feet. The 18.7% efficiency gain is vendor reported by the robot supplier, and it is the headline outcome of the program.
Thousands of manual labor hours came off routine floor work, and the reported results arrived within six months of the project. This study keeps to that wording without a single total.
What this means for a multiple building operator
A campus this size shows a pattern that suits any operator with several buildings: a phased pilot with more than one robot brand, a clear test of performance, usability and fit, and then a steady move into daily work. That sequence mirrors how Service Robot Co. approaches deployments.
Service Robot Co. is a full service, OEM neutral commercial robot integrator for US businesses. We select the right robots across manufacturers, then finance, deploy, integrate, train and service every unit through a nationwide US engineer network, so one vendor covers the whole lifecycle. Robots reach a site through commercial robot leasing on a three year lease, with one fixed lease quote after a site assessment. A pilot can start with one leased unit and grow as the results come in.
