The introduction of any new technology comes with questions: how will it behave in the real world, how easy is it to use, will it really save money? That's what a test drive of a cleaning robot is all about.
Here are the main advantages:
✅ Evaluation of cleaning performance - how the robot handles dust, dirt, liquids.
✅ Real savings data - comparing to the cost of cleaning staff.
✅ Process integration analysis - how the device “fits” into office, warehouse, shopping center routines.
✅ Checking manageability and functionality - remote management, scenarios, schedules.
✅ Understanding of maintenance - how often water refills, consumables change, etc. are required.
With the test, you can not only test the robot washer, but also identify bottlenecks in your current cleaning operation.
The process begins by submitting an application. This can be done through the Waybot website, by phone or by e-mail. A company specialist contacts you and conducts an express analysis of the facility:
Area of the room (in square meters).
Type of flooring (smooth, rough, carpeting).
Mode of operation (weekdays, 24/7, night shifts).
Schedule and frequency of routine cleaning.
Goals: reduce costs, improve quality, manually clean inaccessible areas, etc.
This stage helps to understand in advance what tasks the robot will perform and which model will be suitable for the specifics of the object.
Waybot offers several models of automatic cleaning machines, including Cleanbotics 400 PRO and Cleanbotics 600 - devices with different tank capacities, working area widths and navigation algorithms. Depending on the task, the customer can choose the appropriate model:
For offices up to 1000 m², the Cleanbotics 400 is most often used.
For logistics facilities, hypermarkets and shopping centers - Cleanbotics 600 with an extended route map.
In areas with a heavy flow of people, the robot's ability to interact safely with visitors is taken into account.
Waybot engineers also take into account the presence of narrow passageways, doors, glass partitions, and other features.
Once the model and test dates have been agreed, the robot is delivered to the site. The Waybot engineer performs a complete on-site setup:
Deploys the base station (if used).
Scans the room to create a map and optimal routes.
Sets the cleaning schedule (e.g., night, morning, lunchtime).
Configures Wi-Fi connectivity or stand-alone operation.
Explains the principles of the operator application and gives recommendations.
Also trains staff - administrators, managers or technicians. The goal is for no one to have difficulties using the robot during the test.
The duration of the test is usually between 3 and 7 working days, depending on the area and tasks. During this time, the robot functions in real time, performing the assigned tasks. In the process, you can observe:
How the robot reacts to obstacles (shelving, people, office furniture).
How it allocates routes and adjusts them if necessary.
What is the intensity of contamination and the result before/after cleaning.
How convenient it is to control the process via app or display.
Waybot engineers remotely monitor the telemetry, and make changes quickly if necessary.
Important: the robot works as if it were already integrated into the cleaning system - this gives you a picture that is as close to reality as possible.
At the end of the test, the client is provided with a detailed report that records:
Cleaning time.
Routes traveled and area covered.
Volume of dust/dirt collected.
Water and detergent consumption.
Cost comparison with the current cleaning model.
There is also a verbal debrief with the Waybot manager to discuss the pros, potential challenges, and options for scaling the project. At this stage, the business has all the data it needs to make a decision to buy, lease, or retest.
- ✳ 1. Cleaning levelIt is recommended to mark several areas in advance (e.g. under tables, in corners, near radiators) and compare before and after. Evaluate the lack of streaks and evenness of cleaning.
- ✳ 2. Noise during operationEspecially relevant for offices: the robot should be as quiet as possible so as not to disturb employees.
- ✳ 3. Reliability of navigationSee if the robot gets lost or stuck on thresholds or chairs. The more accurate the map, the better the cleaning quality.
- ✳ 4. Frequency of serviceKeep track of how often you have to change the water, charge the device or clean the container. Waybot requires minimal manual intervention.
Examples of real implementation cases after the test
1. Clothing store chain (Moscow):
After the test Waybot was implemented in 8 branches. It managed to reduce cleaning costs by 35%, freeing up night shifts of staff.
2. Office of an IT company (St. Petersburg):
Testing proved that the robot can perform cleaning without the participation of employees. Implementation saved 22 hours of manual labor per month.
3. Medical clinic (Novosibirsk):
A test drive showed that the robot safely cleans even in conditions of high sanitary requirements. A decision was made to purchase and retrofit.
Waybot Robotics offers flexible testing terms:
Term: from 3 to 7 days.
Cost: from 50,000 rubles, depending on the region and model.
What is included:
Delivery and removal of equipment.
Setup and adaptation to the premises.
Staff training.
Support during the test.
Final report and recommendations.
If a lease or purchase agreement is signed after the test, the cost can be offset against payment.
Absolutely. A test drive of a robotic scrubber is a way to not just see what the equipment looks like, but to actually test the effectiveness of the robot at your facility. You get answers to important questions:
Is a particular model suitable for your facility?
How economically feasible is the implementation?
Are you satisfied with the quality of cleaning?
Is your staff ready to work with the new equipment?
Practice instead of theory, and that's the best pre-purchase strategy.
