Introducing the MT1 Series: Autonomous Cleaning Robots for Warehouses and Industrial Facilities

Keeping large industrial and commercial facilities clean is a daily operational challenge. Warehouses, logistics centres, manufacturing plants, and distribution facilities often experience continuous floor contamination from cardboard pieces, production debris, dust and dirt.

For many facility teams, the challenge is maintaining a consistently clean environment while balancing labour availability, operational efficiency, and safety requirements. This guide covers everything you need to know about the MT1 Series:

• What is the MT1 Series?

• MT1 Series Models Explained

• Benefits of Using an Industrial Cleaning Robot

• How to Choose the Right Commercial Cleaning Robot for Your Facility

What is the MT1 Series?

The MT1 Series is the world's first AI-powered autonomous cleaning robot series designed for large-scale commercial and industrial environments. The series includes three specialised models, each developed to address different cleaning requirements:

• MT1 - An intelligent autonomous sweeper for everyday floor cleaning and large debris collection.

• MT1 Vac - A robotic vacuum designed for dry-floor cleaning, effectively removing fine dust, embedded dirt, and larger debris from hard floors and carpets.

• MT1 Max - A high-capacity autonomous sweeping robot designed for large-scale indoor and semi-outdoor environments, with reliable performance in low-light conditions - ideal for car parks and business parks.

  
  

All models are powered by advanced robotics technology, including AI visual recognition, multi-sensor fusion, and intelligent path planning, enabling safe, accurate, and fully autonomous cleaning.

MT1 Series Models Explained

The MT1 Series offers three purpose-built cleaning solutions, allowing businesses to select the right robot based on their environment, floor conditions, and cleaning requirements.

MT1: The General-Purpose Robotic Sweeper

MT1 is designed for efficient autonomous sweeping across large indoor environments. With dual disc brushes, a 70cm cleaning width, and a 35L waste bin, it handles debris of all sizes, from leaves and larger waste to fine dust and dirt.

Its AI trash recognition, intelligent spot cleaning, and precision edge cleaning ensure thorough coverage, while long runtime, fast charging, and automated docking support continuous operation with minimal manual intervention.

Coverage: Up to 100,000 m²

MT1 Vac: For Dust-Heavy Indoor Environments

MT1 Vac is a high-performance AI-powered robotic vacuum designed for advanced, large-scale dry cleaning in commercial and industrial environments. Combining dual-fan suction, intelligent navigation, and adaptive cleaning technology, it delivers powerful vacuuming performance for demanding cleaning applications.

Designed to capture fine dust, embedded dirt, and larger debris, MT1 Vac provides deep cleaning across hard floors and carpets with precise edge-to-edge coverage. Its AI adaptive cleaning automatically detects floor types and adjusts suction power and brush speed for optimal results. With a 55cm cleaning width, 6L debris bin, 14L dust bag, and 24/7 autonomous operation, MT1 Vac delivers consistent cleaning performance while reducing manual effort and improving productivity.

Recommend for facilities producing more dust or where sweeping alone may not be enough.

Coverage: Up to 10,000 m²

MT1 Max: For Semi-Outdoor Environments

MT1 Max is a high-capacity AI-powered autonomous sweeping robot designed for large-scale indoor, semi-outdoor, and low-light environments, including car parks, and business parks. With enhanced obstacle avoidance, intelligent route planning, adaptive cleaning technology, a 70cm cleaning width, 35L waste bin, and 0cm edge cleaning, MT1 Max efficiently removes debris while reducing manual intervention.

Coverage: Up to 100,000 m²

Delivers reliable cleaning results with intelligent navigation and automated workflows.

24/7 Autonomous Operation -

Enables continuous cleaning with minimal staff intervention through automated charging and scheduling.

Improved Workplace Safety -

Helps maintain cleaner environments by reducing dust, debris, and potential slip or hazard risks.

Cost Savings Over Time -

Reduces labour costs and improves resource allocation through more efficient cleaning operations.

Scalable for Large Facilities -

Designed to manage expansive environments such as warehouses, logistics centres, manufacturing plants, and commercial spaces.

How to Choose the Right Commercial Cleaning Robot for Your Facility

Choosing the right commercial cleaning robot depends on your facility size, cleaning requirements, floor conditions, and operational needs. The best solution should not only improve cleaning efficiency but also integrate smoothly into your daily workflow. Key factors to consider include:

1. Type of Debris and Cleaning Needs

Consider whether your environment requires sweeping, vacuuming, or both. Facilities dealing with large debris may benefit from a sweeper, while dust-heavy environments may require deeper vacuum cleaning.

2. Floor Types and Surface Conditions

Ensure the robot can adapt to your flooring, including hard floors, carpets, uneven surfaces, or mixed environments.

3. Operating Environment

Consider whether the robot will operate indoors, semi-outdoors, in high-traffic areas, or low-light conditions, as different environments require different capabilities.

Choose:

• MT1 if you need reliable autonomous sweeping for everyday debris.

• MT1 Vac if dust collection is a priority.

• MT1 Max for semi-outdoor sweeping.

FAQ

Is the MT1 series suitable for my facility?

The MT1 series is designed for large facilities including warehouses, logistics centres, manufacturing plants, airports, shopping centres, hotels, car parks, and business parks. The best model depends on your facility size, floor type, cleaning requirements, and the type of debris typically found on-site.

Can the MT1 series operate in busy environments with people and vehicles?

Yes. The MT1 series uses AI visual recognition, LiDAR SLAM, VSLAM navigation, and multi-sensor technology to detect obstacles, adapt routes, and operate safely in dynamic environments where people, equipment, and vehicles are present.

How much area can an MT1 robot clean?
