Vehicle movement
Agree when a cleaning zone can be made available.
BUILT AROUND YOUR SPACE
Plan regular hard-floor cleaning around vehicles, access lanes and available parking bays.
01 / THE CHALLENGE
Agree when a cleaning zone can be made available.
Assess whether sweeping, scrubbing or a separate spot treatment is required.
Parked vehicles change the accessible floor area from one visit to the next.
Review ramps, visibility, moisture and drainage before setting a route.
02 / YOUR ENVIRONMENT
Car parks often combine broad floor areas, ramps, low-light sections and vehicle traffic. Dust and surface grime create different cleaning demands.

03 / A PRACTICAL CLEANING PLAN
Use a defined zone plan instead of expecting every bay to be available.
Schedule repeat visits during quieter occupancy periods.
Choose the appropriate scrubbing configuration after a floor trial.
Agree the cleaning area, completion window and inspection criteria before a trial. Record interventions and service time as well as floor coverage.
COMPARE YOUR CLEANING OPTIONS
Compare the people time and operating costs needed to deliver the same cleaning scope and standard. Adjust the assumptions to reflect your facility.
Fixed planning assumptions: 30 minutes of staff support per cleaning day and AUD 3,500 in annual robot non-labour operating costs. Robot support time includes preparation, emptying, refilling, routine checks and manual touch-ups. Non-labour costs should include maintenance, consumables, energy and any recurring fees. Net upfront investment includes equipment and deployment, less any avoided traditional equipment purchase. Use a consistent GST basis.
Please enter valid non-negative values within the displayed limits; cleaning days and traditional hours must be greater than zero.
| Annual comparison | Traditional cleaning | Automated cleaning |
|---|---|---|
| People time | 1,200 h | 150 h |
| Labour cost | A$48,000 | A$6,000 |
| Non-labour operating costs | A$0 | A$3,500 |
| Total operating cost | A$48,000 | A$9,500 |
Labour efficiency: hours released = (traditional daily labour − robot support labour) × cleaning days. The percentage shows the reduction in direct labour time, not a claim that the robot cleans the floor faster.
Annual saving: traditional labour and running costs minus robot support labour and running costs. Released time becomes a cash saving only when paid hours, overtime or contractor spend actually fall; otherwise it is capacity that can be reassigned.
Payback: net upfront investment divided by positive annual operating savings. This simple comparison excludes finance costs, depreciation, tax and residual value. It is not a full investment appraisal. Negative savings mean the assumed deployment costs more to operate.
Check the cleaning outcome: compare actual coverage, task completion, floor cleanliness and human interventions during a trial. Robot runtime, charging and servicing must fit the available cleaning window.
