How the administrator interface works: a detailed breakdown
1. Planning routes and cleaning areas
In the first stage, the administrator creates a map of the facility, dividing the premises into zones. In the interface, you can:
mark priority areas — for example, the entrance area, bathrooms, corridors;
specify the frequency of cleaning: once a day, on a schedule, or by triggers;
set movement routes taking into account obstacles, elevators, doors, and access levels.
This is the basis of any robot implementation plan, as competent mapping directly affects the quality of cleaning and the efficiency of the route.
2. Real-time monitoring
One of the key features is live monitoring. The administrator can at any time:
see the exact location of the robot on the map;
check the status (e.g., “cleaning in progress,” “waiting,” “at base”);
find out the area of the zone that has already been cleaned;
check the battery level and the availability of cleaning solution;
record messages about malfunctions, jams, or collisions.
This functionality is critical for cleaning automation, especially in large premises where timely response to malfunctions affects the operation of the entire facility.
3. Schedule and task management
The administrator can create a work schedule for a week or month in advance, or link cleaning to specific events. For example:
starting the robot every day at 6:00 a.m. before the shopping center opens;
cleaning storage areas after unloading is complete;
night cleaning of offices when the premises are empty.
The ability to clean during non-working hours with control via the interface provides flexibility and continuity.
4. Notifications and alerts
The interface issues notifications in case of deviations from normal operation. Here are some typical scenarios:
Battery discharge — the administrator sees a message about a critical charge level;
Lack of water or detergent — the system reports that refilling is necessary;
Navigation failure — if the robot encounters an obstacle or cannot continue its route;
Maintenance — the interface warns in advance about the need to replace brushes, filters, or perform cleaning.
Alerts are sent to the interface and duplicated in convenient channels — email, messengers, corporate notification system.
5. Setting up roles and access rights
Large companies with multiple facilities use a user hierarchy:
Global administrator — manages all robots in the network;
Local operator — controls the robot within a single building;
Technical staff — only has access to technical notifications.
This is especially important when robotizing a network, when control must be distributed while maintaining transparency.
