The Advantage of Deploying Cleaning Robots in Transportation Hubs

High passenger volumes mean that certain areas of the airport, such as terminals, restrooms, and baggage claim areas, are prone to rapid soiling. Autonomous cleaning machines are programmed to operate efficiently in these high-traffic zones. Their ability to navigate crowded spaces using LiDAR sensors and real-time mapping technology ensures that cleaning tasks are completed without disrupting passenger flow or causing inconvenience. For instance, robotic scrubbers can clean large terminal floors quickly, reducing the need for multiple human operators.

Sita[1], the world’s leading specialist in air transport communication predicts the following:

“Nearly half of the world’s airlines and 32% of its airports are seeking a partner to further investigate robotics in the next three years”

“By 2030 robots are expected to have replaced check-in processes, with robotics solutions”

This data gives an insight into how Airports will be looking for autonomous solutions in the near future.

In some Asian countries, autonomous robots are already taking charge of most tasks in airports, everything is about automation. At the same time, main Airlines around the globe are doing more and more to bring autonomous technology to the table.

For decades most airports have been using scrubber machines to keep maintenance on their floors, that’s something we foresee changing in the near future.

So, what does the future hold for robotic cleaning in airports? As technology constantly progresses, we can expect to see more robots taking over the world’s airports.
