## Application profile

Production halls need different robotics than offices or retail. Dust, abrasion, loose debris, large floor areas and vehicle traffic determine whether an autonomous sweeper or a high-performance scrubber is more suitable.
- Typical areas: Production, manufacturing, hall routes
- Key requirement: Dust, debris volume & area
- Relevant models: Beetle · Omnie

## The dirt profile determines the model

In industrial environments, the key question is not only floor area but what kind of dirt is generated. Dry dust and loose production debris require a different cleaning system than adhered soil or wet cleaning.

Beetle focuses on autonomous sweeping and dust control. Omnie is often the better platform when scrubbing and more dynamic mixed operation are required.

## How to assess an industrial floor

- Dirt type: Dust and loose material require a different cleaning system from adhered or wet soil.
- Vehicle traffic: Forklifts, tugger trains and staff determine when autonomous routes can run reliably.
- Floor structure: Open halls, traffic lanes, machine islands and transitions need to be assessed together.
- Operating window: Night and off-peak periods often provide the best opportunity for long autonomous runs.

## Recommended models

- [Gausium Beetle](https://frisilogix.de/en/cleaning-robots/gausium-beetle): Beetle is designed for large industrial floors with dry dirt, dust and loose debris.
- [Gausium Omnie](https://frisilogix.de/en/cleaning-robots/gausium-omnie): Omnie is relevant where wet cleaning and more advanced navigation on dynamic large areas are required.

## Commissioning process

1. Assess floor condition, dirt profile and the actually accessible hall area
2. Include forklift traffic, machine zones, gates and restricted areas in the route plan
3. Test Beetle or Omnie in a representative production area
4. Configure routes and cleaning windows, assign responsibilities and align service intervals with the operation

## FAQ

### Which robot fits manufacturing better: Beetle or Omnie?

Beetle is designed for dry sweeping and dust routines. Omnie is more suitable when large areas also need scrubbing.

### Can cleaning robots operate around forklifts?

Mixed traffic must be validated for the site. Traffic rules, exclusion zones and suitable operating windows are part of deployment planning.

### Are night runs useful in production halls?

Often yes, because longer continuous windows with less traffic become available.

### How is the industrial business case calculated?

Floor area, current productivity, cleaning frequency, labour cost and the actually automatable route are the main variables.
