Best Practices for Autonomous Mode
Running Routes
1. Preparing the environment is key to successful robotic operation. It is essential to dust mop and remove
temporary obstructions like inventory and other temporary obstructions. Be sure to push back any inventory
that may be sticking out from its intended shelf area.
2. Run routes based on your pre-determined schedule. If that has not been decided, run routes when
employees, customers and freight are not present. Also determine the best time of the day to perform this
task.
3. Do not block the front of the scrubber where the cameras and sensors are mapping the room during use.
Try and stay behind the unit during use.
4. During the start of any robotic route, check the scrubber’s rear squeegee (and optional dry mop) to make
sure they are adjusted properly. Pause the robot by pressing the blue button and adjust the squeegee or dry
mop if necessary.
5. Optimize your run time, water flow and power usage, for daily floor maintenance, use lower water and
power settings for longer water life and battery life.
Replacing Routes
1. If the environment changes significantly through remodel or permanent fixture move it may be necessary to
teach a new route.
2. A new route will be needed when the dimensions of the space have changed so much that the scrubber is
having trouble navigating and is calling for frequent assists. Some common examples of changes that can
necessitate new routes include:
- End caps in retail environments that narrow the aisle.
- Displays in the main areas of the location, blocking its intended path.
- New merchandise displays that might have different dimensions.
3. New dimensions may reveal new floor space that was previously covered causing the current route to miss
this area. Please reteach this route for the new environment.
Manual Mode
1. If you desire to run the scrubber in manual mode you can manually operate from the home location code by
lifting the handle, turning the brushes and the vacuum on operating the unit.
2. You can also do this mid route by pressing the blue button, lifting the handle and operating manually.
