Industry solution

Industrial Cleaning

Collect the fibre and lint that settle on textile production floors without stopping the line. Robovak cleans large areas autonomously with dry-vacuum technology, and auto-charging plus automatic tank emptying let it run unattended for hours.

01On-site challenges

On-site challenges

The transport and operations problems we meet most often on sites in this industry.

  • Fibre and lint build up all day, and sweeping by hand means permanently assigning staff to it.
  • Accumulated debris can get into machines and product, causing quality and maintenance problems.
  • On large production floors, cleaning cannot keep a regular rhythm within the shift.
  • Staff cleaning by hand between machines have to work close to moving equipment.

02The Birfen solution

The Birfen solution

How we configure the robots and software around your site.

  • Robovak cleans the floor autonomously, using dry-vacuum technology designed for textile fibre debris.
  • It builds its route from the site plan with natural navigation, and cleaning progress can be followed in the user interface.
  • Autonomous charging and automatic tank emptying let it run for hours without operator intervention.
  • PLC controls, laser scanning and an emergency stop button keep operation safe on the production floor.

05Outcomes

Outcomes

The operational effects we expect from a well-configured deployment.

  1. Floor cleaning keeps a regular rhythm through the shift, without stopping production.

  2. Staff previously assigned to cleaning can be moved to production and maintenance work.

  3. Which area was cleaned when is visible in the interface, so the cleaning plan is based on data.

06Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions

What buyers ask most often before deciding.

Can Robovak work while production is running?
Yes. Robovak was designed to clean floors without stopping the production line, and it operates with safety features such as laser scanning and an emergency stop. We plan its route between machines with you, based on your floor layout.
Does Robovak also do wet cleaning?
No. Robovak focuses on dry-vacuum cleaning of textile fibre and lint. For areas that need wet cleaning, we assess your requirements separately during the site survey.
How are several Robovak units managed?
Robovak is compatible with Birfen Fleet. Missions, charge status and cleaning progress for several robots can be followed from a single console.
