Scale across three levels
A three-level commercial property of roughly 880,000 sq ft carries a floor care load that few single-level sites match. Every level collects foot traffic, grit and spills, and the work repeats day after day. Covering that footprint with a manual crew means long passes and fixed hours for people who are not always easy to hire.
The operation needed floor care that could run for long stretches without an operator at the controls, and that could cover a large area in a steady rhythm. Autonomy was the requirement that mattered most, because every hour the machine ran on its own was an hour no one had to spend pushing it.
An autonomous scrubber put to work on a multi-level floor
The property put an autonomous floor scrubber to work across its floor area. The robot supplier's machine ran its cleaning sessions on its own, and those sessions added up to the daily and weekly totals the vendor reports.
Autonomy at this scale depends on more than the machine. Route setup, staff who know how to restart and check the scrubber, and a clear service path for the stoppages that eventually come all shape how many hours the scrubber actually cleans.
Autonomous hours that add up
The vendor reports that the scrubber spent 99.2% of its runtime in autonomous mode, which is the headline figure for this deployment.
On average the machine delivered more than 2.5 hours of autonomous cleaning a day. Across a typical week that comes to about 20 hours, and in some weeks it passed 30. Those hours keep a floor of roughly 880,000 sq ft under steady autonomous care, with an operator needed for only a small share of the running time.
These are vendor-reported figures. A buyer should ask any supplier for the measurement window behind numbers like these before using them in a plan.
What this means for a site like yours
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. One vendor covers the whole lifecycle, so a property of this scale does not have to coordinate a manufacturer, a financier and a service crew separately.
Our commercial robot leasing runs on a 3-year lease with financing, and a fixed robot lease payment is quoted after a site assessment. That assessment maps the floors and routes, so the figure reflects the actual building rather than a guess. Floor scrubber lease terms are easier to judge once the route plan is already on paper.
Deployment, go live support and on-site dispatch sit inside the same engagement, so an autonomous scrubber's hours are backed by engineers who already know the site. For a commercial floor where autonomous hours are the goal, that continuity matters more than any single figure.
