Robotic Floor Scrubbers

Robotic Floor Scrubbers with Advanced Navigation and Safety Technology

Tennant’s approach to autonomous cleaning goes beyond automation. With industry leading robotics technology, Tennant provides robot floor scrubbers that are intuitive to operate, easy to deploy, and built to navigate real world environments safely. Each autonomous floor scrubber machine uses sophisticated mapping and obstacle avoidance technology, ensuring smooth operation in active spaces where staff and customers move throughout the day.

Robotic Floor Scrubbers That Enhance Efficiency and Support Cleaning Teams

By integrating Tennant robotics into your cleaning strategy, you create a scalable pathway to smarter facility maintenance. Robotic floor scrubbers support teams by taking on the heavy, time intensive work, freeing employees to focus on detailed cleaning, customer service, safety tasks, and other priorities that require human touch. The result is a more efficient workflow and a consistently high standard of cleanliness across every shift.

Future Ready Robotic Floor Scrubber Solutions for Any Facility

Whether you manage a single building or a large, multisite operation, Tennant’s robotic floor scrubbers offer a future ready solution that boosts productivity, enhances reliability, and supports your long-term facilities strategy. Let automation elevate your cleaning program and bring measurable value to your organization.

A robotic floor scrubber is an autonomous cleaning machine that uses onboard sensors, mapping technology, and automated controls to scrub and clean floors without manual operation. It delivers consistent, repeatable cleaning performance in commercial and industrial environments. 

Robotic scrubbers use navigation systems, such as LiDAR, 3D cameras, and AI-driven mapping, to move through a facility, avoid obstacles, and follow a programmed cleaning route. Once a route is created, the machine can clean the same area independently on a regular schedule. 

Robotic scrubbers are ideal for large or high traffic spaces such as retail stores, logistics centers, warehouses, airports, schools, hospitals, manufacturing facilities, and multisite operations. Any environment with frequent or repetitive floor cleaning needs can benefit. 

Yes. Modern autonomous floor cleaning machines include safety features such as obstacle detection, automatic speed adjustments, emergency stop mechanisms, and 360-degree sensor coverage. They are designed to operate safely around employees, guests, and equipment. 

Key advantages include: 

• Improved cleaning consistency 
• Significant labor savings 
• Reduced physical strain on staff 
• Higher productivity across cleaning teams 
• Realtime performance monitoring and reporting 
• Better use of resources such as water and detergent 

Most robotic scrubbers can operate for several hours depending on the model, battery type, and cleaning intensity. Many Tennant robotic machines support quick swap batteries or onboard charging to maximize uptime.

No. Robotic scrubbers are designed to support cleaning teams, not replace them. They handle repetitive, time-intensive floorcare tasks so staff can focus on detailed cleaning, customer facing responsibilities, and higher value maintenance work.

Basic maintenance includes emptying recovery tanks, refilling solution tanks, checking pads and brushes, cleaning machine sensors, and ensuring batteries are charged. Most robotic units provide automatic notifications when maintenance is needed. Tennant also offers comprehensive service plans for further maintenance needs.

Consider factors such as: 

• Total square footage 
• Floor type (tile, concrete, resilient flooring, etc.) 
• Daily cleaning schedules 
• Narrow aisles vs. open areas 
• Desired level of autonomy and reporting 

Brands like Tennant offer multiple models tailored to differing facility sizes and layout complexities. 

• Robotic floor scrubber uses water, detergent, and scrubbing pads to deep clean surfaces.
• Robotic floor sweeper uses brushes and vacuum action to remove dust, debris, and dry materials.

Many operations use both types for comprehensive cleaning coverage.
