How it works

Robots used

  • Duct Cleaning Robot

Ways to buy it

  • Service — you pay for the outcome (one inspection, one show, X acres).
  • Purchase Buy the robot (plus software and service plans, usually).

Bot or Not?

A robot makes sense when…

  • The job is high, dangerous, or hard to reach
  • It is huge or repetitive (acres, nights, square metres)
  • You need data you will compare over time
  • You need eyes on it right now

Hire a human when…

  • It is small, low and one-off
  • It needs hands, judgement or a repair
  • Weather, permits or timing make robots awkward
  • Nobody has defined the job yet

Here's the catch for this job

  • RaaS monthly plans usually include maintenance; compare to purchase over 3-5 years.
  • Robots handle open repetitive floor area; budget humans for edges and spot work.
  • Ask for a pilot/trial period on your actual floors.
