How co-botics are changing the hotel industry
Imagine this: a guest walks into your hotel lobby after a long journey. What’s the first thing they notice? The decor? The lighting? More often than not: it’s the cleanliness.
In this article we will explore why cleanliness is so essential for the hospitality industry and how cleaning co-botics are becoming a powerful tool for receiving 5-star reviews.
Why cleaning efficiency matters
Did you know that cleanliness influences 53% of guests when deciding whether to rebook or recommend a hotel? This insight comes from a 2020 survey conducted by Harris Poll. Clean, well-kept spaces not only reduce health risks but also leave a positive impression that encourages repeat visits. In fact, cleanliness is one of the top drivers of guest satisfaction and rebooking. That’s why maintaining high cleaning standards in the hospitality industry is so important. But how can hotels achieve this?
The power of co-botics
The hotel industry faces big challenges, such as labor shortages, rising guest expectations, and the need for consistent cleaning across large spaces. Maintaining high standards while staying efficient and cost-effective isn't easy. That’s where the power of co-botics comes in. For example, they can take over routine and repetitive cleaning tasks, like vacuuming large floor areas. Meanwhile, human staff can focus on more detailed or complex work. This boosts productivity and helps hotels meet hygiene expectations within time and staffing constraints.
Co-botics vs Robotics: what is the difference?
“Co-botics” means collaborative robotics, and that’s exactly what they are. Unlike traditional industrial robots that operate in isolation, co-botics work directly alongside human workers. Their role is to assist, not replace.
How the co-botic 1900 Drop & Go improves cleaning efficiency
Dividing the Workload
The co-botic 1900 Drop & Go makes cleaning faster and easier by working alongside the cleaner. It takes care of routine vacuuming, allowing staff to focus on detailed tasks like wiping surfaces or cleaning corners. This collaboration saves time and energy.
Extended Operation
With a large 2-liter dust bin and up to 5 hours of battery life, it can run for long periods. This makes it ideal for high-traffic areas like hotel lobbies or long hallways. When recharging is needed, the battery can be easily swapped to avoid delays. It operates smoothly during busy hours, keeping public spaces clean without disturbing guests.
Powerful Cleaning
Equipped with a strong brushless motor, it delivers powerful suction. This is especially useful for deep-cleaning thick carpets in suites or conference rooms, effectively removing dust and dirt.
Smart Sensors and Mapping
Using smart mapping and sensors, it navigates safely and avoids obstacles. It can follow mapped routes or avoid restricted areas with minimal human input. In busy hotel corridors filled with luggage and guests, it can navigate safely without supervision. This leads to greater efficiency, more consistent cleaning, and less physical strain on staff.
The impact of automated cleaning
Automated cleaning machines do more than save time. They enhance a hotel’s image and improve guest satisfaction. A study from ScienceDirect found that guests perceive hospitality spaces cleaned by automated equipment as cleaner and more modern, especially in large or high-traffic areas. Participants rated venues cleaned by co-bots up to 23% cleaner and 31% more modern compared to those cleaned manually.
In today’s competitive hospitality landscape, cleaning is no longer just a background task. It has become a business driver. Guests expect spotless spaces, and meeting those expectations requires smarter solutions.
