Floor scrubbers and sweepers for Industry 4.0

Sweepers and scrubbers also fall under Industry 4.0: let’s find out, then, which products promote technological and digital transition.

What is Industry 4.0

Industry 4.0 refers to those equipment and software functional to technological and digital transition of production processes.

Technologies encompassed by Industry 4.0 offer multiple benefits and aim, among the consumers’ pluses, to:

increased productivity through shorter set-up times, reduced errors and downtime;
better quality and less waste by means of sensors that monitor production in real time;
increased product competitiveness due to IOT-derived advanced features.

Some of these technologies are:

Advanced manufacturing solution: interconnected and rapidly programmable collaborative robots;
Additive manufacturing: 3D printers connected to digital development software;
Augmented reality: augmented reality to support production processes;
Simulation: simulation between interconnected machines to optimize processes;
Horizontal-Vertical integration: integration of information along the value chain from supplier to consumer;
Industrial internet: multidirectional communication between production processes and products;
Cloud: managing large amounts of data on open systems.

Floor scrubbers and sweepers 4.0

Among the machinery encompassed by Industry 4.0 technologies there are also floor scrubbers and sweepers, to propel anyone who makes professional use of these machines into the digital technology transition.

As well as for cleaning-specialized companies, professional floor care tools are very useful, for example, for cleaning:

SMALL BUSINESSES

SHOPPING MALLS

WAREHOUSES

HEALTHCARE FACILITIES

HOTELS AND RESTAURANTS

AUTOMOTIVE BUSINESSES

These machines, today, fully enter Industry 4.0 thanks to special interconnection and data exchange systems which show all useful information, in real time, on the machines and operator’s driving condition, with web interface or through mobile device apps.

Comet's FMS system

As the leading brand of floor care machines, Comet has developed a system entirely dedicated to Industry 4.0.

DISCOVER THE COMET RANGE DEDICATED TO FLOOR CARE

Comet's Fleet Management System, in fact, allows having your entire fleet of scrubbers and sweepers in a cloud on the Web or mobile.

FMS shows the current status of your fleet by providing all useful, real-time data on the operator’s driving status and machines’ condition. A simple and intuitive dashboard shows all the information needed to measure machinery efficiency and productivity:

Overall battery monitoring
- Battery charge and discharge as well as input voltage can be monitored.
Stopping the vehicle remotely
- The vehicle can be stopped remotely through a simple command from the Cloud.
Work area: management of business areas
- You can know the location, status and activities of the machines in real time while setting the work areas.
  The configuration of areas is totally customizable; in fact, an operating area of any shape and size can be drawn on the map, outside of which the machine can reduce its functions.
API for interfacing with company system
- APIs are available for interfacing the system with company management systems
Mobile app for real-time monitoring
- A service (for consultation purposes only, for now) allows users to display the portal homepage, machine section, alarm section and map section.

In addition, the Fleet Management System comes along with a primary appraisal that will certify the system for the purchaser, detailing the system itself.
