Industrial cleaning is changing. And those who haven't noticed yet will soon.
For decades, the logic was the same: hire enough people, define shifts, create routes, and trust the job would get done.
It worked. Until it didn't.
As operations grew and pressure on costs increased, the cracks became impossible to ignore:
→ Inconsistency between shifts
→ Difficulty covering large areas without adding headcount
→ Time lost on repetitive, low-value tasks
→ Almost zero visibility into what actually happens on the ground
This is not a lack of effort. It's a structural problem.
And the solution is now available.
Pudu Robotics — a global leader with over 120,000 units deployed across 80+ countries — has launched the PUDU BG1 series.
The first large-scale scrubber dryers built on a truly AI-native architecture.
At Cleaning Machines, we are proud to be the official distributors of Pudu Robotics in Ireland.
But what does AI-native actually mean in practice?
Unlike traditional robots that follow fixed routes, the BG1 interprets its environment in real time.
It adapts to spills, floor types, and obstacles — automatically adjusting without constant human intervention.
The result: consistent cleaning performance, even in the most dynamic environments.
The operational impact is clear:
✔ Sweeps and scrubs in a single pass ✔ Covers up to 2,000 m² per hour ✔ Manages its full cycle autonomously — from refilling to recharging
But beyond automation, this technology introduces something that was previously missing: real data.
Knowing where dirt accumulates, how long each area takes, and how to optimise routes — all data-driven, not guesswork.
This solution is designed for large-scale environments where efficiency and consistency are non-negotiable:
Warehouses · Shopping Centres · Hospitals · Airports · Industrial Facilities
At Cleaning Machines, we don't just provide equipment — we deliver solutions that improve real-world operations.
