Position codes are required for autonomous cleaning. The device must be positioned in front of a position code to start a cleaning route. These should therefore be placed at strategic points in the building. The position codes consist of a code readable by the device and a position code ID readable by humans.

Place the position code at a height of 66 cm.

---

For practical subdivision, the environment can be divided into areas with a permanently same structure and areas whose environment changes frequently (e.g. due to seasonal offers).

The interlinking function explained later provides a high degree of flexibility for separately taught cleaning areas. About 30-60 minutes have proven to be a good section duration, also with regard to resource utilisation and availability.

In addition, individual frequented areas can be cleaned more frequently or, in case of major changes in the environment, only the affected route needs to be taught again.

Ideally, position the position code close to the surface to be cleaned to avoid long transport distances. Multiple position codes can be placed in strategic locations in an environment.

• Remove any dirt (e.g. tape, splinters from pallets and cling film) that the device cannot collect, as this may damage it.

• Make sure that the route is clear of seasonal display cabinets as well as other non-permanent obstructions.

• Learn new routes when the workload in the area to be cleaned is lowest. Ideally outside regular business and working hours.

With the teach-in function, the user cleans the surface in the same manner as with a conventional hand-guided machine. During this, the device records the route and additional sensor information. The user can set various parameters during the teach-in. Saved routes are then available for autonomous execution.

Positioning the device

The device must be positioned in front of a position code to start a teach-in. If the position code is recognised by the device, it appears on the device's screen. The teach-in then starts.

Recording during the teach-in

During the teach-in, the following is recorded:

• The route taught by the user.

• The points at which cleaning modules were switched on or off.

• The parameter settings for water output, detergent dosing, suction power and brush speed.

• Honking the horn (e.g. at a crossing)

The following is not recorded during the teach-in

• If the user takes a short break, the stop is not recorded (maximum 5 minutes).

• The device does not save the speed at which the route was taught.

Functions on the screen during the teach-in

During teach-in, the user can switch the cleaning units on and off, adjust individual cleaning parameters and activate Smart Fill.

14. Horn

To record new routes, click on "New Route" in the autonomous menu. After the device has scanned the position code, the teach-in menu is displayed on the screen.

In order for the device to perform the taught routes in autonomous mode, the specified limit values must be adhered to. The side brush insert can be used to maintain the edge distance.

Note the following during the teach-in:

Teach-in of the surface to be cleaned

Clean the surface as you would with a conventional hand-held device. Use the live map on the screen to place the lanes close together or overlap them slightly. Areas that have already been cleaned are shown in blue to avoid missing parts of the area to be cleaned.

Switching on the cleaning units

The cleaning units should always be switched on in the following order:

1. Suction system

2. Brush head

3. Side brush

Switching off the cleaning units

The cleaning units should always be switched off in the following order on transit routes or before finishing the route:

1. Side brush

2. Brush head

3. Suction system

   Drive a few metres with the device and the suction switched on to suck up the residual water on the surface.

The Smart Fill function is intended for large, free-standing areas. This function can be activated during normal teach-in.

---

1. Activating Smart Fill

The area to be cleaned then only needs to be circumnavigated once. The device then cleans the circumnavigated area in autonomous operation. The path travelled within the area is a spiral by default.

Creating cleaning routes in complex environments using Smart Fill

The Smart Fill function can also be used in environments with complex areas. For this purpose, the Smart Fill function can be used several times during a teach-in route for different open areas. Between the Smart Fill areas, either a transit section (cleaning units switched off) or a cleaning section (cleaning units switched on) can then be taught in.

If docking of the machine at the end of the route is desired, the route must be terminated in front of a docking station during the teaching process. To do this, press the "End route with docking" button.

Before playing routes in autonomous mode, pay attention to the following:

• Is the workload low enough to carry out cleaning or should it be done outside regular business hours?

• Is the fresh water tank full?

• Is the waste water tank empty?

• Is the battery of the device charged?

• Has the coarse dirt been removed from the surface to be cleaned?

• Is the environment in a tidy state?

• Is the area free of new large obstacles?

• Is the device positioned in front of the correct position code?

After a route has been recorded, it is available for selection in the "Existing routes" menu.

---

1. Available routes

Activating the "Position codes" button causes the device to arrange the existing routes according to their corresponding position code and display them in a folder structure. The folder overview can be further filtered here via the quick text search by specifying the "Route name" or the "Position codes".

Example:

A user has a large warehouse area. Here he has set up a docking station for the device. After a logical subdivision of the warehouse, several routes can be taught for the individual cleaning areas. These start and end at the docking station in the warehouse. It is possible to chain several routes together in order to clean the entire warehouse or several areas autonomously. These are then travelled in sequence, with a docking process after each route. If necessary, the resources of the device are exchanged.

Daily maintenance includes:

• Cleaning of the sensors.

• Inspection of the overall appearance of the machine.

• Checking the autonomous travel after switching on the machine.

Furthermore, the operator should remain on site during operation. Check the progress of the cleaning regularly, especially for very long cleaning processes.

This example shows possible cleaning areas in a supermarket.

---

1. Entrance and exit area

   • The entrance and exit areas need to be cleaned more frequently due to the higher frequency of use.

   • In bad weather, the entrance and exit areas may need to be cleaned several times a day.

2. Checkout area

   • Due to higher occupancy, the checkout area needs to be cleaned more frequently.

3. Fruit and vegetable area

   • The fruit and vegetable area can be dirtier and needs to be cleaned more often. A further division for areas with seasonal display cabinets and obstacles can be useful.

4. Meat counter

   • This area needs to be cleaned more frequently as hygiene standards are even higher here and a clean environment is extremely important. A further division for areas with seasonal display cabinets and obstacles can be useful.

5. Retail space

   • Consider separate pathways for areas with seasonal displays.

   • If there is a moderate amount of dirt, it is usually sufficient to clean the surface only once a day.

6. Warehouse

   • Make sure that paths are not blocked by moving objects such as boxes or pallets.

   • Consider cleaning the warehouse after regular business hours to avoid interrupting normal workflow.

• Place position codes in easily accessible areas and make sure that they are not blocked.

• Pay attention to how busy certain areas are and create separate routes for very busy areas.

• Create independent routes for areas with seasonal or changing display cabinets and obstacles. By using one or more docking stations, you can then re-link these routes with other routes.

• Conduct the teach-in outside regular business hours or block off partial areas.

• Remove temporary or movable objects from the surface to be cleaned before the teach-in.

• Make sure that there are no flat objects (with a height of less than 15 cm) or permanent obstacles inside a Smart Fill area so that the device can traverse the entire area inside.

• For aisles where turning is required, take into account the minimum aisle width of 1.7 m.

• Avoid filigree protruding objects, basins with water, stairs and overhangs of shelves.

• Keep the area to be cleaned free of larger contamination such as broken glass, larger plant parts and smearing liquids.

• Make sure that there are no flat objects (with a height of less than 15 cm) inside a Smart Fill area so that the device can cover the entire inside area.

• Conduct the teach-in outside regular business hours or block off partial areas.

• Avoid areas with many chairs and tables (e.g. food courts) and clean them manually.

• Adhere to the limit of 1.5 m away from windows and railings close to the ground if there is a fall edge behind them.

• Avoid carpets.

• Avoid cleaning next to roller doors.

• Make sure that there are no flat objects (with a height of less than 15 cm) inside a Smart Fill area so that the device can cover the entire inside area.

• Direct sunlight can cause problems with the sensors and navigation.

• Adhere to the limit of 1.5 m away from windows and railings close to the ground if there is a fall edge behind them.

• Perform the teach-in when the occupancy is lowest or block off partial areas.

• Remove movable objects as far as possible.

• Avoid areas with queue management systems (e.g. barriers) as the device may not reliably detect these objects.

• Check that free-standing signs are detected when the device approaches from the side.

• Avoid areas with many chairs and tables (e.g. food courts) and clean them manually.

• Remove tape, splinters from pallets and cling film and make sure that the cleaning paths are free of debris and objects (e.g. cables, packing tape, etc.). These can get caught in the brushes.

• No flat objects (with a height below 15 cm such as forklift forks) may be in the vicinity of the device during autonomous operation.

• Create routes according to the "traffic rules" of your facility.

• Use the horn during teach-in so that the device can make itself known at critical and unclear points in the warehouse.

• Adhere to the limit of 1.5 m away from windows and railings close to the ground if there is a fall edge behind them.

• Make sure that there are no flat objects (with a height of less than 15 cm) inside a Smart Fill area so that the device can cover the entire area inside.

The device is equipped with laser, 3D and ultrasonic sensors.

The device follows the route taught by the user. However, it can also detect new obstacles and adjusts the route to avoid them.

The device can approach walls and obstacles up to 10 cm. A side brush enables cleaning close to the edge.

The device stops immediately and the cleaning units are switched off. The screen still works. The emergency-off button must be turned and pulled to resume operation. The device then starts cleaning of the current route.

No, the map is not self-learning. Minor changes to the original layout are no problem. The greater the changes to the layout, the more inefficient the device will be. If there are major changes to the layout, the route must be taught again.

Yes, the sensors detect glass and thus recognise sliding glass doors or glass partitions, for example.

Multi-coloured LED lights indicate the status of the robot and the direction in which it is moving.

• Control elements for the cleaning process are yellow.

• Control elements for maintenance and servicing are light grey.

In autonomous operation, the device cleans one or more previously taught-in areas independently. Teaching is carried out by travelling and saving a route.

A Position code must be applied to the starting point. If the end of a route is to serve as the starting point for another route, there must also be a Position code at the end of the route.Position codes are used for orientation.

• Position codes are supplied with the device.

• Position codes must not be laminated, as laminating deteriorates the recognisability.

• All Position codes in an object to be cleaned must have a different code.

• The same Position code can be included in different routes.

• Each Position code must be attached to a vertical surface at a height of 66 cm cm.

• The strategic layout of Position codes is explained in detail in the Setup Guide.

For the reliable and safe execution of autonomous operation, the following rules must be observed.

1. Limit the cleaning area with barriers at the following points:

   • Steps

   • Stairs

   • Escalators, moving walkways

   • Lifting platforms

2. Do not place ladders, scaffolding or other temporary obstacles in the cleaning area.

3. Do not leave electric cables or other low obstacles (up to 15 cm high) in the cleaning area.

4. Routes for autonomous operation must not pass through lifts or automatically opening doors. Use lifts and automatic doors only in manual operation.

5. Keep a sufficient distance away from water basins and glass surfaces.

6. Avoid direct, strong light incidence (e.g. low sun) on the sensors.

7. Avoid crossing strong light/shadow boundaries.

8. In autonomous routes, do not approach roller doors head-on but parallel to the door.

9. Mark the cleaning area with warning signs and provide notice of wet floors.

The teaching procedure is described here. Notes on how to optimally design a route are provided in the Setup Guide.

During teaching, the following information about the route is saved:

• The travel path of the device.

• The points at which cleaning function were switched on or off.

• Parameter settings for water application, detergent dosage, brush speed and suction power.

• The operation of the horn (e.g. at an intersection).

Not recorded are:
