Real-time cleaning: how cloud control is changing the approach to cleaning
The professional cleaning industry is undergoing rapid change, and one of the main drivers of progress is the cloud-controlled robot. Thanks to the development of technologies such as the Internet of Things, remote access, and process automation, companies are now able to monitor and manage cleaning in real time. This means that cleaning is no longer simply performed on a schedule—it is adapted to specific conditions, room occupancy, and even weather factors.
Remote cleaning control allows you to start or stop a cleaning robot in real time, reconfigure its route, monitor its charge level, track the wear and tear of consumables, and receive detailed reports on the work done. Moreover, intelligent cleaning is not just a buzzword: today, such robots are able to “understand” which areas need more thorough cleaning and automatically adjust their strategy.
With growing demands for sanitation, process transparency, and cost optimization, companies are looking to implement solutions that guarantee consistent quality. Cloud-based cleaning control delivers this result, providing flexibility, efficiency, and complete digital transparency of operations. In this article, we will look at how cloud technologies are changing cleaning, what benefits they bring, and why they are the future of the industry.
What is cloud control in cleaning robots?
  • Cloud control is a system for remote access to the functionality of a robot vacuum cleaner or floor cleaner via the Internet. All data about the device's operation is collected and transmitted to a server, where it becomes available to the user via a web interface or mobile application.
  • The main components of the cloud control system are: Data storage and processing server.
  • Waybot Control software.
  • Remote control interface with advanced analytics.
  • Robot with communication module (Wi-Fi/4G).
  • Advantages of a robot with cloud control
  • 1. Remote cleaning control from anywhere in the world
  • You can start, stop, or reconfigure a task while away from the facility. This is especially convenient for management companies, logistics operators, retail chains, and office centers.
  • 2. Intelligent cleaning with real-time adaptation
  • The system analyzes data from the robot's sensors and camera and can quickly adjust the route, operating mode, and even brush pressure depending on the level of contamination.
  • 3. Complete transparency and reporting
  • The owner or cleaning manager receives a full report on each session:
  • which areas were cleaned,
  • how long the work took,
  • whether there are any areas left uncleaned.

How it works in practice: a real-time scenario
Let's say there is a large event taking place in a shopping center, and one of the areas is experiencing increased traffic. The operator in the Waybot Control system sees this in real time and reassigns one of the robots to the new task. There is no need to manually search for the device or give instructions via radio — one click in the interface is all it takes.
  • Advantages for different areas Shopping centers
  • Ability to quickly clean the most visited areas.
  • Remote control of cleaning at night and during the day.
  • Response to incidents: spilled drinks, shoe marks, etc.
  • Warehouse complexes
  • Automation of regular cleaning of dust collectors and passageways.
  • Intelligent cleaning taking into account forklift routes.
  • Cleanliness control without interrupting logistics processes.
  • Office buildings
  • Maintaining cleanliness in work areas without interfering with employee schedules.
  • Quiet mode for cleaning during meetings.
What intelligent cleaning offers in numbers
With the introduction of cloud control using Waybot, users report:
Up to a 30% reduction in personnel costs.
A 40–50% increase in cleanliness in the coverage area.
90% fewer complaints about cleaning quality.
Data security and control
Waybot uses secure communication channels, data encryption, and authorization protocols. This ensures that only authorized persons have access to robot control. A notification system is also in place—the user receives a push notification or email in the event of any unusual si
  • Flexible schedule settings
  • Each robot can operate according to an individual schedule. You can:
  • Assign time slots for cleaning.
  • Increase the frequency of cleaning during peak hours.
  • Redefine areas of responsibility depending on the current workload.
  • Scheduled operation allows you to fully automate maintenance, reducing human involvement to a minimum.
  • Integration with other systems
  • Waybot Control can be integrated with video surveillance, climate control, and building management systems. This allows you to:
  • Stop cleaning when people appear in the area.
  • Adjust cleaning to the ventilation and heating schedule.
  • Create a comprehensive safety and cleanliness map.
  • The future is already here: what's next
  • In the coming years, cloud-controlled robots will become the standard in professional cleaning. Companies will evaluate not only the power of the technology, but also its ability to interact with data in real time.
  • What to expect: The use of AI for predictive cleaning planning.
  • Connection to business ERP systems.
  • Automatic generation of reports and KPIs for cleaning.
The transition to real-time cleaning using cloud control is no longer a matter of choice, but a matter of efficiency and competitiveness. Thanks to solutions such as Waybot Control, companies of any size can implement intelligent cleaning while reducing dependence on the human factor and achieving predictable results.
A cloud-controlled robot becomes a full-fledged participant in business processes: it provides analytics, helps generate reports, easily adapts to changes, can work on a dynamic schedule, and does not require constant supervision. It is especially important that all data is available in real time — this allows you to quickly respond to unexpected situations and guarantee a high level of cleanliness even under increased workload.
Remote cleaning management significantly expands the horizons of cleaning management. Now there is no need to be physically present at the facility or rely on the diligence of staff — simply open the system interface and start a task, change a route, or get a report.
In the face of growing competition, high staff turnover, and stricter sanitary standards, intelligent cleaning with cloud management is becoming not just a technological innovation, but a strategic resource. Companies that are the first to integrate such solutions gain an important advantage: they control not only cleanliness, but also the entire process of ensuring it — transparently, efficiently, and with minimal costs.
