## Application profile

Care facilities need reliable cleaning routines while residents, staff, visitors and mobility aids share the same circulation areas. Cleaning robots can handle repeatable floor routes in corridors and shared spaces without replacing hygiene or disinfection requirements.
- Typical areas: Corridors, reception, shared areas
- Key requirement: Quiet operation & clear routines
- Relevant models: Phantas, Mira

## Adding planned floor care without disrupting residents

Long corridors, entrances and larger shared areas with repeatable routes are the strongest candidates. Resident rooms and small fragmented areas usually offer less automatable floor space.

The robot handles defined floor routines. Disinfection, sanitary cleaning, surfaces, care tasks and detail cleaning remain separate human-led processes.

## Key factors in care facilities

- Resident traffic: Walkers, wheelchairs, care carts and spontaneous encounters need to be reflected in routes and cleaning windows.
- Hygiene concept: Autonomous floor cleaning complements defined hygiene processes but does not replace required disinfection or specialist cleaning.
- Noise & daily routine: Rest periods, meals, therapy and visiting hours influence when repeatable routes can operate appropriately.
- Robot care: Charging, water handling, consumables and daily inspection need a stable location and clearly assigned ownership.

## Recommended models

- [Phantas](https://frisilogix.de/en/cleaning-robots/gausium-phantas): Phantas fits smaller care facilities and mixed-use indoor areas that need several cleaning modes.
- [Gausium Mira](https://frisilogix.de/en/cleaning-robots/gausium-mira): Mira is relevant for longer connected hard floors and repeatable planned routes.

## Commissioning process

1. Assess corridors, shared areas, floor types and hygiene requirements together with the facility
2. Include resident traffic, care routines, rest periods and the charging or care point in the operating concept
3. Test Phantas or Mira in a representative zone during a realistic daily operating period
4. Configure approved routes, train responsible staff and document operation, daily care and service responsibilities

## FAQ

### Are cleaning robots suitable for care homes?

Phantas or Mira can be relevant for longer corridors, entrances and larger shared areas, depending on layout, floor type, resident traffic and hygiene requirements.

### Does the robot replace disinfection or hygiene procedures?

No. Autonomous floor cleaning is a separate process and does not replace disinfection plans or mandatory manual hygiene tasks.

### Can the robot operate around residents and care carts?

That needs to be validated in the facility. Traffic volume, mobility aids, encounter zones and quieter time windows determine the right operating model.

### Which areas remain manual?

Resident rooms, sanitary areas, surfaces, stairs, edges and detail cleaning generally remain staff tasks.
