Technology has played an important role in our everyday lives but what impact has it had on the commercial cleaning industry?
Cleaning has always had a focus on manpower and machinery but recently there has a been rise in smart cleaning in the industry. Now more than ever because of the pandemic, there has been a big focus on the cleaning industry and its standards. The integration of smart cleaning technology helps provide a new level of cleaning assurance to meet the new set standards of cleanliness and safety that customers now demand.
According to the International Federation of Robotics (IFR), robotics cleaning technologies, such as vacuum cleaning and disinfection functions have now been widely used in the past years. IFR stated that approximately, 31 million household robots were sold between 2016 and 2019, out of which 96% were vacuum and floor-cleaning robots.
At Abco we understand the importance of keeping up with industry trends. We empower commercial cleaners by taking out the complexity of cleaning and utilising effective, innovative technology, equipment, and products.
One innovative machine that helps our clients keep up with the growing demand for smart technology is the i-team Co-botic 1700, which has the power and option to suit your cleaning needs:
- Robotic vacuum with cloud-based app control functionality. The machine can schedule and divide rooms in several zones and get day-to-day information out of the app.
- Comes with a power remote that can be used to start autonomous cleaning of the room instead of using the application.
- A great tool to add to your cleaning business, that can be used in overnight in dark areas without any trouble.
- Auto-adjusting suction of up to 2700Pa.
- Run time of up to 270 minutes.
- Brush speed of up to 1300 rpm.
- Has a quiet mode.

The integration of technology into the cleaning business is a game changer. According to Lewis Ho, there has been a projection in the market that it will hit US $24.8 billion for robotic cleaning technology integration. There are now robots for floor scrubbing.
When using manpower to do a job such as floor scrubbing, overtime can become backbreaking and can take a toll on physical health. By integrating smart technology, you can help reduce the risk of health-related risks to your employees.
An innovative tool that helps reduce the risk of health-related risk is the i-sense plus. As cleaners, we can only clean what we see. With the i-sense plus, it redefines the whole meaning behind cleaning within the industry.
With the i-sense plus, you can accurately measure the 5 main factors that influence our indoor environment to ensure the health and safety of everyone in the room. These include air contaminants, such as Volatile organic compounds (VOCs); tiny particles that are so small they can get deep into our lungs and into the bloodstream, carbon dioxide emissions, humidity, and temperature.
The smart display design allows users to easily see whether the air is clean or not, or if it’s necessary to take action to improve indoor quality. The i-sense plus is also able to store data to compare a one-week chart and compare dates of air quality.
To get the most out of the i-sense plus, it’s best to pair it with an i-air pro. The i-air pro works to purify the air. The i-air pro is a high-capacity air purifier utilising medical grade HEPA H14 filters, UV technology and photo-catalytic oxidisation to remove 99.999% of airborne viruses, bacteria, and particulates.

Without smart technology like the i-sense plus and i-air pro, the ability to identify particles we can’t see when can cleaning would be impossible.
By also implementing smart machines, you can provide a more consistent cleaning result each time and speed up the efficiencies of operations. The use of innovative technology in your cleaning program allows more productivity as more work can be done in the small amount of time a cleaner has, which allows more opportunities to increase profit for your business if you can get more work done.
CEO and founder of SmartClean stated that, by spending 15-20% on the Technology adoption, the overall manpower can be optimised by up to 30%, saving upwards of 10% on the entire cleaning spend.
By implementing smart technology into your cleaning business, more time can be spent on setting goals in other areas of the business. Businesses can use this time to promote resources to upskill or focus on other important tasks that help increase business efficiencies and operations. Smart technology allows for the reduction of cost, strategic planning, and increased profits.
