Are industrial cleaning robots a waste of money?
The opinion that industrial cleaning robots are a waste of money often stems from a misconception that only considers the initial investment cost. In fact, cleaning robots contribute significantly to long-term cost reduction and efficiency improvement. For example, they can operate 24 hours a day to save labor costs and maintain a high level of cleanliness through consistent performance. Especially in large facilities or factories, this increase in efficiency brings substantial economic benefits. π
Today, we sat down with Han-ju Lee, a robot expert at Marosol, to answer some of the most frequently asked questions about industrial cleaning robots! π€
Hello, Han-ju. Could you please introduce yourself?
Hello, I am Han-ju Lee, a senior manager at Marosol in charge of service robots, specifically cleaning robots. π
Industrial cleaning robots are quite popular. Is there a specific reason why people are looking for them?
Industrial cleaning robots are the robots with the highest growth potential among all robot types. While there are many reasons for their surging popularity, the biggest reason is likely the increased efficiency of cleaning.
Cleaning robots can automatically perform repetitive and time-consuming tasks, allowing human resources to be deployed to more productive duties. On average, a cleaning robot can clean 1,800 m^2/h (approx. 544.5 pyeong) per hour. Since a basketball court is about 132 pyeong, it has the capacity to clean four basketball courts in one hour. This outstanding cleaning ability not only reduces costs but also maximizes the efficiency of personnel management.
While Korea is just at the beginning stage, looking at neighboring Japan, where 7,000 units are sold annually, and China, where 12,000 units are sold, I am confident that the cleaning robot market in Korea—which has a similar demographic structure—will become even more active than in those two countries.

The cleaning range is much wider than I thought. Is the cleaning ability also excellent?
You know those friends who live while hiding their true power? Industrial cleaning robots are exactly like that. They can cover a very wide range and their cleaning ability is also very outstanding. π
Industrial cleaning robots are equipped with advanced sensor technology, allowing them to accurately recognize the surrounding environment and plan the optimal cleaning path. This enables the robot to clean every nook and cranny without missing a spot, even cleaning areas humans might overlook.
Furthermore, the bottom of an industrial cleaning robot is equipped with a powerful cleaning system. The robots have strong suction power and high-performance brushes to effectively remove dust and contaminants. They also have cleaning modes suitable for various floor materials, delivering excellent cleaning performance on any surface, including carpet, tile, and concrete. π
They pass by quietly, but they are busy underneath. So, can cleaning robots replace existing sanitation staff?
Not exactly. Since there are sections where human labor must be deployed, such as cleaning restrooms or stairs, it is impossible for robots to completely replace personnel.
When considering cleaning robots, I believe it is correct to focus on manpower supplementation rather than replacement.
You mentioned focusing on manpower supplementation. In what aspects is supplementation possible?
It can be attributed to the ROI aspect and improvement of the work environment. Introducing a cleaning robot allows for actual cost-saving effects. When comparing the cumulative cost of manual labor versus a cleaning robot for a 1,000-pyeong space, a cumulative saving of 100 million KRW over 5 years was observed.
Additionally, it can improve the work environment for existing sanitation workers and lower turnover rates. By entrusting floor cleaning to the cleaning robot, the intensity of work decreases while the quality of cleaning increases.

The synergy between cleaning robots and humans has become important.
Yes, that’s right. As I mentioned, in situations where it is difficult to maintain a large sanitation staff, the staff is often stretched thin just focusing on specialized cleaning, leaving a constant gap in floor cleaning. π₯
In such situations, cleaning robots can completely fill that gap. The biggest advantages of cleaning robots lie in unmanned autonomous cleaning and overwhelming floor area coverage, allowing them to offset current issues and create synergy beyond what customers expect.
I heard you handle various industrial cleaning robot brands at Marosol. Is there a brand you would recommend?
The brand I mainly recommend to customers is Gausium. If Roborock is the No. 1 brand for household cleaning robots, Gausium is the No. 1 brand for industrial cleaning robots.
Gausium Cleaning Robot Series
Unlike other industrial cleaning robot brands, Gausium started as a cleaning robot manufacturer from the beginning. Since it is a company that has been making industrial cleaning robots for over 10 years, its technology is the most advanced, and it is a company that actually holds an 85% market share in the global cleaning robot market. π
Furthermore, Gausium possesses various types of cleaning robots. Since there are many aspects to consider for each customer site, such as floor environment, area, and main pollutants, it is impossible to respond with a single model. However, Gausium cleaning robots are divided by size and performance, allowing you to introduce the perfect cleaning robot for your needs.
Were there any complaints after introducing Gausium cleaning robots?
After introduction, most customers are satisfied, so there are almost no complaints, but there is often significant anxiety just before introduction. Since it is often their first time using a robot, they feel a great deal of unease.
To alleviate that anxiety even a little, Marosol has prepared a promotion where you can use a Gausium cleaning robot for free for 2 weeks. π₯³
