Introduction – The Quiet Revolution in Cleaning

Imagine this: it's 3 a.m., and in a busy supermarket, a hospital, or a school, the lights are dimmed and the halls are silent. Suddenly, a robot quietly navigates, scrubs, and dries the floors — all without human help. That’s the reality with Sparkoz autonomous scrubber-dryers, now on the radar at CleaningMachines.ie.

These aren’t just machines; they’re efficiency engines. By automating floor care, Sparkoz robots deliver consistent service, save labour, and let your team focus on higher-value tasks — while delivering significant cost savings. Here’s how they’re transforming businesses across sectors.

Meet the Robots: TN10 and TN70

TN10 – Compact yet Capable

  • Cleaning path: 35 cm (14″)
  • Navigates under tables and tight spaces using LiDAR, cameras, and ultrasonic sensors
  • Built-in docking and charging
  • Ideal for schools, offices, and small retail spaces
  • Perfect for cleaning under tables - agile AI cleaning

TN70 – The Heavy-Duty Star

  • 20″ brush, 70 L solution / 50 L recovery tanks
  • Covers ~21,960 ft²/hour
  • Detects obstacles with 3 LiDAR, 5 cameras, 12 ultrasonics, plus emergency stops
  • Certifications: CE, FCC, TUV, RoHS, IEC
  • 100 Ah battery delivers ~4 hours runtime
  • Optional modules: dust-mop, disinfectant fogging

How They Deliver ROI

1. Real Stories, Real Savings

  • Supermarket Example: A 10,000 ft² store saved 67% on labour and boosted cleaning from 5,200 ft²/hr to 9,300 ft²/hr using TN70.
    • Quote from case study: “A cleaner and more hygienic environment enhances the shopping experience.”
  • Hotel Lobby: TN10 cut cleaning time by 50%, and guests began praising the pristine entrance lobby.
  • Hospitals: TN70 with disinfectant fogging became a frontline infection-control tool during flu season.
  • Schools: TN10 handles corridors and under desks between classes — quietly and continuously.

2. Crunching the Numbers

  • Manual cleaning cost: ~4.5 hours/day × €30/hr = €1,350/week
  • Robot maintenance: ~1 hour/day × €30 = €300/week
  • Weekly savings: €1,050 → €54,600/year
  • Add chemical/water savings (~€850) → ROI in 12–24 months

How the Robots Work – The Smarter Details

  • AI Navigation: Combines LiDAR, vision, and ultrasonics for real-time path planning and obstacle avoidance.
  • Autonomous Charging/Refilling: The robot docks, charges opportunistically, and refills its solution tank — all by itself.
  • Cleaning Mechanics: Powerful scrubbing (TN70: 60 lb brush pressure, TN10: scraper-style), wet-vacuuming, and one-pass drying.
  • Cloud Connectivity: Live dashboards, route logs, battery stats, and fleet monitoring accessible remotely.
  • Safety Features: Emergency stop buttons, collision sensors, and encryption-compliant cloud software for GDPR and ISO adherence.

Key Industries & Applications

  • Retail & Shopping Centres: Continuous cleaning without disrupting customers; polished floors enhance brand perception.
  • Airports & Transportation Hubs: TN70 cleans large terminals overnight; smart navigation handles traffic and luggage.
  • Manufacturing & Warehouses: Robust enough to deal with dust and debris; frees up staff for production tasks.
  • Offices & Campuses: Quiet, programmable, and perfectly suited to 24/7 environments — ideal for shift-driven spaces.

Customer Quotes

  • Supermarket: “Labour down 67%, efficiency up 80%.”
  • Hotel: “Clean time halved; 5-star lobbies daily.”
  • Hospital: “Peace of mind during flu season.”
  • School: “Zero disruption to class time.”
