Coronavirus & Our Robotics

Unleash the Cleaning Robots during Covid-19

More and more organisations are successfully merging human and robotic cleaning workforces during the Coronavirus outbreak to combat staff sickness and absence, to keep visitors and staff safe – and to keep the country moving.

The Perfect Little Company (TPLC), an Oxfordshire based business is the longest running provider of rentable commercial cleaning vacuum robots in the UK. Robots can be deployed at mass in commercial environments using a patented trolley system.

So how are robots helping to reduce infection? Well, as we know the Coronavirus can spread from person to person, so using something as simple as a robot vacuum will certainly minimise human contact. More and more organisations are looking to invest in, and use, technology to ensure their staff and clients are protected as much as possible. Robotic commercial vacuums can cover cleaning teams who are sick, isolating or to simply keep them safe. No social distancing measures are needed when vacuuming and the robots do not mind a night shift. 

Cleaners often circulate more than most within a building meaning they are naturally more at risk. Robots can even eradicate something as simple as needed to change plug sockets like you need to do with a traditional tub vacuum. 

The current crisis ultimately has resulted in many organisations taking a much closer look at how they are using technology going forward – not just for efficiency, but sustainability.

Proven to reduce pathogens 

It’s an exciting time for the robotic cleaning industry with more people turning to robots. By completing a recent trial in a controlled environment, TPLC have successfully proved that pathogen levels are reduced by using robots and that time is saved so teams can concentrate on the more important tasks during the pandemic and moving forward – such as touch points.
