How AI-powered robots are keeping Frankfurt Airport clean
Frankfurt Airport has recently introduced autonomous cleaning robots as part of its facilities strategy.
With more than 500,000 square metres of polished terminal floor to maintain, the cleaning challenge is immense, it says.
Working with cleaning innovation firm Tennant Company and Brain Corp, whose AI platform powers the world’s largest fleet of cleaning robots (40,000+), Fraport Facility Services has successfully deployed the robots.
The benefits are two-fold, it frees up staff to focus on more specialist tasks and supports sustainability goals through reduced water and chemical usage.
Frankfurt welcomed more than 61 million passengers last year with peak days of over 200,000 travellers.
The airport says within six months the robots have cleaned over 1.6 million square metres , without disrupting passengers or operations.
Mathias Dudek, Managing Director at Fraport Facility Services, said: “Autonomous cleaning is the future. Based on our positive experience so far, we are actively working to integrate even more robotic solutions into airport operations.”
