Nilfisk to launch robotic scrubber dryer
13th of October 2016
Cleaning machine producer Nilfisk is to enter the sector's robotics race with the launch of The Horizon Program, a schedule of multiple product launches of autonomous solutions. The company is partnering Carnegie Robotics, provider of robotics sensors and software, in the project.
The objective of the programme says Nilfisk, is "to bring state-of-the-art, autonomous cleaning technologies to the market, enabling customers to deploy unmanned floor cleaning with accuracy and precision".
"With The Horzion Program, our sights are set on bringing about fundamental change in cleaning," explains Jonas Persson, president and ceo of Nilfisk."We are putting forth the most sophisticated technology that will completely redefine how we look at productivity and total cost of ownership."
Steve DiAntonio, president and ceo of Carnegie Robotics added: "We are combining a century of cleaning expertise with machine vision and autonomous technologies proven to work safely in unstructured environments such as military operations, agriculture and mining.
"From the beginning our partnership has focused on thorough, intensive research and exhaustive, rigorous testing to develop the most sophisticated, highest functioning autonomous cleaning products the industry has seen to date," he concluded.
The first product launch in spring 2017 will be a scrubber dryer that can run autonomously or be manually operated. The new product will make its debut at ISSA/INTERCLEAN North America from October 26-28 in Chicago.
