Sotetsu companies are considering ways to improve operational efficiency and save labor by utilizing ICT (information and communication technology). I was lucky to do it. By doing this, we aim to provide high-quality cleaning even with a small number of people and to use the facility comfortably. The exterior is colored with the image of the greenery of "JOINUS Forest Sculpture Park" on the rooftop of Sotetsu JOINUS.
Avidbots' "Neo" can automatically clean a wide range of floors. In the past, floor cleaning over a wide area was done manually by operating cleaning equipment. Automatic cleaning by "Neo" makes it possible to always clean with uniform quality, keeping the facility clean so that you can use it comfortably.
In addition, automatic cleaning requires the robot to correctly recognize its own position and complete cleaning while avoiding people and temporary obstacles. Through demonstration experiments, Sotetsu companies have evaluated "Neo" in terms of its safety performance, cleaning finish, driving ability to clean while avoiding obstacles under various conditions, and usability for cleaning workers. We confirmed that it can be fully utilized at the operational level, leading to this introduction.
At the same time, the cleaning report created after cleaning provides detailed evidence of when and where the cleaning was performed. By analyzing this report, it is possible to continuously improve cleaning performance. It is also highly appreciated.
