Airports are busy at the best of times and it would appear that they are now more busy than ever as staff shortages are causing chaos as reported in the news recently. What’s all that got to do with robotic floor cleaning and Neo though? Well as technology has gradually come into effect at airports around the world with advancements such as; digital boarding pass, scanning your passport at passport control and checking your flight status on your smartphone – it’s obvious that technology can speed up time consuming tasks and provide a cost-effective solution.
Neo – the autonomous floor scrubbing robot is the perfect solution to keep airport operations running smoothly and streamlined. Neo 2 by Avidbots is already deployed at numerous airports around the world including Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport and Huntsville International Airport to name a few.
Airports have millions of passengers pass through them every year and in a typical year, airports across the world see upwards of 8 billion passengers, which equates to 16 billion pairs of shoes and several billion suitcases traveling along those hundreds of square miles of floor space which of course will leave the floor dirty and stained. Naturally there are facility management companies and teams of housekeeping staff dedicated to airport cleaning, however as you would expect it requires hours of valuable time to clean the floors. Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport required 24 labour hours and a three person team working overnight to clean the floor before they deployed Neo.
‘We receive written notes and feedback. People say, ‘We saw the robot. You really care about cleanliness.’ What is heart warming—to leadership and the individuals responsible for it—is that we are absolutely lauded for our cleanliness. That’s hard to accomplish with the number of people coming through our facility. We’re exceptionally proud of that. The credit really goes to the housekeeping staff and to Neo, working alongside one another.’ – Brain Cobb, Chief Innovation Officer – CVG.
