Cleaning large spaces like factory floors or subway stations manually is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

As the movement to automate floor cleaning grows, many businesses are considering commercial robot vacuums. Among them, Gausium—the market share leader in the cleaning robot sector—is highly sought after for its proven performance and stability. In particular, the recently released Omnie and Beetle models are gaining attention for their distinct strengths. 🙌

Both are smart, autonomous cleaning robots, but their cleaning methods and optimal environments differ. Let’s compare Gausium Omnie vs. Beetle to see which fits your site best. 👇

 Gausium Omni vs. Beetle: Which Commercial Robot Vacuum Is Right for You?

While both offer excellent performance, the biggest difference lies in the cleaning method: Beetle is a dedicated dry cleaning robot, while Omnie is a dedicated wet cleaning robot.

In short, Beetle specializes in sweeping up dust and large debris, while Omnie mops the floor to a sparkling finish.

• Beetle (Dry): Cleans up to 3,240㎡/hr. Ideal for industrial sites with lots of dust and debris, such as large factories and logistics centers.

• Omnie (Wet): Cleans up to 2,621㎡/hr. Best for large complex facilities requiring clean mopping, such as subway/KTX stations, airports, and shopping malls.

Both models feature AI autonomous driving to avoid obstacles and support long-term unmanned operation via automatic charging docking stations.

Beetle: The Industrial Dry Cleaning Specialist

True to its name, Beetle diligently scours the floor to sweep up dust, sand, paper scraps, and wood chips. It features a smart AI-based camera that detects trash or contaminated spots to perform focused cleaning automatically.

• Large Capacity: Equipped with a 45L dustbin to handle vast areas without frequent emptying.

• Edge Cleaning: Its powerful suction and brushes prevent dust from scattering and allow it to clean within 1cm of walls.

• 24/7 Operation: With 4–8 hours of continuous operation and an auto-charging dock, it thrives in round-the-clock environments.

Due to these features, Beetle is perfect for places where the floor area is very wide and a lot of dust or waste is generated, such as large factories and logistics center warehouses. In fact, there is a case of automating floor cleaning by introducing the Beetle to the LX Pantos Logistics Center in Cheongna, Incheon (a warehouse of about 1,000 pyeong).

In the LX Pantos Cheongna Center logistics warehouse (1 floor, approx. 1,000 pyeong), the problem of "getting dirty again soon after cleaning" always followed due to the nature of having to constantly manage a wide floor. Therefore, Bigwave Robotics (Marosol) installed the commercial robot vacuum Beetle to automate the floor cleaning of this space, and by combining Beetle's powerful cleaning performance with an automatic charging station, created an unmanned cleaning flow that leads to self-return and charging after work.

Based on autonomous driving and driving stability through cameras and sensors, a schedule was configured so that cleaning runs at designated times, and cleaning efficiency was raised by dividing roles with the cleaning staff, allowing them to focus on organization or detail management.

In particular, at this site, the SOLlink remote control and work reporting system were applied together, allowing the person in charge to check the operation status and quickly design necessary cleaning scenarios remotely without having to stay on-site.

Beetle effectively captured corner dust with 1cm wall-proximate cleaning, consistently covered wide areas with productivity of up to 980㎡ per hour, and demonstrated its power in "floor maintenance" suitable for the logistics warehouse environment by even supporting water cleaning based on a 2-roller brush.

In fact, LX Pantos provided feedback saying, "It used to get dirty quickly after cleaning due to many visitors and resident staff, but since the introduction, cleaning is done in real-time and everyone is satisfied," experiencing both the improvement of the working environment and the enhancement of the center's clean image.

Omnie: Wet cleaning OK, even large public facility floors sparkle!

Omnie is a smart robot vacuum that performs wet mopping. Simply put, it is a hybrid cleaning robot that both vacuums dust and performs wet floor cleaning. It is also state-of-the-art in terms of sensors, so it can clean while accurately avoiding people or obstacles even in complex spaces with 3D LiDAR and a 360-degree camera.

As Gausium's top-tier model, it is specialized for floor cleaning in complex facilities with high foot traffic, such as airports, stations (Subway/KTX), and large marts. In environments where floor hygiene or gloss management is important, Omnie's wet cleaning function will further raise the level of cleanliness.

Another strength of Omnie is the automatic wet cleaning process. It has a water tank inside the robot, so it cleans the floor neatly while mopping, and is equipped with a 33L clean water tank and a 24L wastewater tank. When using the robot alone, a person must fill the water and dump the wastewater after a certain time, but by introducing a dedicated workstation + mobile water tank together, even water replenishment and wastewater discharge are resolved automatically.

Thanks to the water tank, the robot can continue wet cleaning without stopping, even at sites where plumbing work is difficult. In the case of introducing Omnie to the KTX Gyeongju Station, battery charging, water replenishment, and wastewater discharge were all automated through the workstation, allowing the robot to manage the wide station floor alone.

Gyeongju Station KTX station is a representative complex facility with a wide area and high foot traffic, making floor cleaning easily feel like a "never-ending job." Therefore, Bigwave Robotics installed the commercial robot vacuum 'Gausium Omnie' along with a Workstation and a Mobile Watertank at the Korail Tech Gyeongju Station site, creating an operation structure to automate station floor cleaning.

The key was to set up a system so that Omnie's powerful wet cleaning performance and state-of-the-art sensor-based autonomous driving could run properly "according to the station environment." If a schedule is set for the desired time during the day or night, the robot comes out on its own to start cleaning, and it continues cleaning while smoothly avoiding collisions using 3D LiDAR and front/rear/left/right camera sensors even in spaces where people and obstacles are constantly moving.

With the commercial robot vacuum taking charge of such a wide floor area, the cleaning manager could focus more on detail cleaning or managing civil complaint points that require a personal touch, and as a result, the division of roles was organized in a way that raised the overall quality of cleanliness. 😊

Another important point was "how seamlessly the wet cleaning continues." Omnie is operated in a way that if the battery is low, clean water runs out, or the wastewater tank is full during work, it automatically returns to the workstation to proceed with charging, clean water replenishment, and wastewater discharge, and then returns to the point where it stopped to resume cleaning. Especially in many cases, such as old sites built long ago, where plumbing work is difficult or using the on-site water line is awkward, combining a mobile water tank with a capacity of 90L of clean water and 75L of wastewater allows for stable water supply and drainage as if a water line were connected.

As a result, Gyeongju Station KTX station has built an automation model through the introduction of a commercial robot vacuum that can be expected to have a saving effect of about 90 million KRW over 5 years in the long run.

 Checklist for Choosing the Right Robot Vacuum Cleaner for You

 Finally, check which robot vacuum is right for you by asking a few questions:

Does the floor in the cleaning area need wet cleaning?

If you want to even remove stains on the floor, Omnie, which has a wet robot vacuum function, is suitable. On the other hand, if it's mainly for dust removal, Beetle is sufficient.

Is there a lot of dust or large trash generated at the site?

For cleaning floors in factories and warehouses where there is a lot of powder from machine operation or a lot of packaging waste, Beetle, which has strong suction and a large trash bin, is better.

Is it a space with high foot traffic?

In places with a lot of people passing through even during the day, such as airports and stations, Omnie, which has excellent sensor performance and is strong at obstacle avoidance, cleans safely.

Do you want to increase continuous operation or the level of automation?

Both models are capable of 24-hour operation with auto-charging docking, but Omnie realizes unmanned wet cleaning with a workstation. For full automation of night cleaning in large facilities, the Omnie+Workstation combination is advantageous.
