The fear of infections in a hospital of sick patients makes cleanliness a high priority in the healthcare industry. Add OSHA requirements, and there’s no doubt that healthcare facilities have higher standards for scrubbing floors.

For HHS, a support service provider for healthcare facilities, the performance and consistency of cleaning was a key requirement in their selection process for an autonomous floor-scrubbing robot.

“Everyone knew it would be difficult to deploy something so new in hospitals where cleaning meant disinfection and prevention of disease,” recalls Bobby Floyd, CEO of HHS’ healthcare division. “There was a great deal of scrutiny and we were cautious to start.”

It took two years, but it was Avidbots Neo that met (and exceeded) HHS’ business and performance expectations. Neo was the only floor-scrubbing robot with true artificial intelligence, according to Floyd. “The robot is intuitive in its cleaning operation and can adjust cleaning paths based on many variables like unexpected obstructions or traffic patterns.”

Other Neo features that contribute to its superb cleaning performance include:

Best of all, healthcare facilities managers are also able to monitor and measure Neo’s cleaning performance with Avidbots’ Command Center web application. With Neo, they get a more consistent clean than their custodial staff, who can focus on more value-added jobs to drive patient satisfaction.
