## Application profile

Garden centres have broad sales routes but also dirt profiles shaped by soil, sand, plant material and transitions to outdoor zones. Autonomous cleaning is most suitable on sufficiently level, connected indoor floors with stable travel routes.
- Typical areas: Indoor retail, main routes, entrances
- Key requirement: Soil, sand & changing layouts
- Relevant models: Mira, Beetle, Omnie

## Planning tracked-in dirt and retail operation together

Seasonal products change route layouts while soil, sand, leaves and moisture are tracked in from outdoor areas. The dirt profile therefore has more influence on model choice than raw floor area alone.

Indoor zones dominated by dry loose debris can require different technology from hard floors that need regular scrubbing. Outdoor surfaces, slopes and weather-exposed routes are assessed separately.

## What to assess in a garden centre

- Floor & transitions: Indoor surfaces, thresholds, mat zones and transitions to outdoor areas determine which routes can be approved technically.
- Dirt profile: Soil, sand, plant debris and moisture need to be assessed by volume and cleaning method before choosing a model.
- Seasonal layout change: Promotional stock, plant islands and seasonal reconfiguration change main routes and require manageable route updates.
- Indoor versus outdoor: Suitability for a level indoor floor is not automatic approval for outdoor surfaces, ramps or weather-dependent areas.

## Recommended models

- [Gausium Mira](https://frisilogix.de/en/cleaning-robots/gausium-mira): Mira combines dry-debris pickup with subsequent scrubbing on connected hard floors.
- [Gausium Beetle](https://frisilogix.de/en/cleaning-robots/gausium-beetle): Beetle is relevant where dry dirt, dust and loose material dominate on larger level indoor surfaces.
- [Gausium Omnie](https://frisilogix.de/en/cleaning-robots/gausium-omnie): Omnie is relevant for expansive, high-traffic indoor areas that need multiple cleaning modes.

## Commissioning process

1. Assess indoor sales floors, surfaces, transitions, dirt profile and seasonally stable main routes
2. Separate zones by dry sweeping need, wet cleaning need and unsuitable outdoor or transition areas
3. Test Mira, Beetle or Omnie in a representative indoor area during normal retail operation
4. Configure routes and daily-care routines, then update maps and approved routes when major seasonal layouts change

## FAQ

### Which cleaning robot is suitable for a garden centre?

The dirt profile is critical. Mira fits midsize hard floors with sweeping and scrubbing needs, Beetle larger dry indoor areas with loose debris, and Omnie large dynamic retail floors.

### Can a robot pick up soil and plant debris?

Dry loose debris may be handled depending on the model. Volume, particle size, moisture and floor conditions need to be tested; wet plant material or unusual debris should not be assumed suitable.

### Can the robot operate outdoors?

Indoor suitability does not automatically extend to outdoor areas. Surface, slope, weather and technical approvals need separate assessment.

### How are seasonal layout changes handled?

Stable main routes are kept as the baseline. Larger reconfigurations require maps, restricted zones and approved travel routes to be updated and checked.
