People and dirt move
Queues form at security, passengers stop with luggage, and trolleys cross the cleaning line. Entrances bring grit, gates collect paper and food outlets leave oil — a single mode cannot cover it all.
Cleaning without closing the airport
Tens of thousands of square metres, several levels, long corridors and access-controlled zones — cleaning has to keep passengers moving, leave no wet floor, and fit short windows.

The situation
What the site looked like before the robots arrived.
A large airport · Terminal halls and boarding areas
Short windows, vertical space
Cleaning windows are short. Lifts, escalators and access control split the route, and every manual handover breaks the run.
How it was deployed
How the machines were put to work.
See, yield, then dry
Lidar and vision identify people, luggage and moving obstacles, and the route adjusts on the spot. A dual-chamber squeegee with wastewater treatment pulls the water back, so the floor behind the pass is dry. Blind-spot start-stop, drop detection, collision warning and dual safety redundancy keep the machine predictable in a crowd.
One loop, from cloud to dock
The airport links lifts and access control, so C5 moves between floors without an escort. A dispatcher can send it to a spill from the cloud; after the task it returns to the workstation to charge, refill, drain and rinse. Schedules, alarms and reports stay in one view.
How the day runs
The same route follows the site, not a shift handover.
Work around the crowd
Cleaning continues while passengers move; the route yields rather than closes.
Deep scrub
Long corridors and gate areas get the full pass.
Reset for the morning
The terminal is cleaned end to end before the first wave.
