ROBO-HI Corporation has launched the ROBO-HI DANCE service deployment model for professional cleaning service companies, designed to significantly improve on-site productivity.
As the cleaning industry faces a severe labor shortage, the use of foreign technical workers is becoming increasingly common. Language and cultural differences, however, drive up training costs considerably. While robotics has been trialled to address this, many sites remain un-digitized, limiting optimization to isolated pockets.
ROBO-HI DANCE tackles this challenge through three phases:
- Phase 1: Digitize (DX) the workforce and processes to drive a step-change in productivity
- Phase 2: Optimize robot deployment using the resources freed up by Phase 1
- Phase 3: Maximize performance through a hybrid human-robot collaboration model
With nothing more than a smartphone, every employee can:
- Follow AR-guided navigation along cleaning routes created by experienced staff
- Manage tasks and track work progress
- Access multilingual work instructions
No new hardware investment is required. The system immediately digitizes on-site "tacit know-how," cutting training costs and maximizing profit from day one of deployment.
Against the backdrop of labor shortages and rising personnel costs, ROBO-HI DANCE comprehensively restructures the cleaning industry's people-dependent and labor-intensive operating model, paving the way for a sustainable and profitable on-site operation.
「ROBO-HI DANCE 」– A SMART ON-SITE MANAGEMENT PLATFORM POWERED BY A SMARTPHONE
Three steps to drive DX in the cleaning industry:
Step 1: AR navigation along the optimal cleaning route
The system builds a 3D map of the facility and delivers AR navigation on the smartphone (multilingual) to guide staff along the shortest cleaning route. Even newly hired employees can now perform work with the same accuracy as seasoned veterans.
Step 2: Instant response to ad-hoc cleaning requests
When a staff member finishes a scheduled task ahead of time, the system immediately assigns nearby ad-hoc cleaning work (for example, cleaning up a spilled drink), maximizing operational throughput.
The platform also optimizes support coordination between neighboring sites, turning the surplus capacity generated by automation into new revenue opportunities.
Step 3: Maximize productivity with a human-robot collaboration model
ROBO-HI DANCE applies a hybrid operating model in which humans and robots work together to deliver the highest possible work efficiency.
Like a well-coordinated team, the system automatically divides tasks:
- Robots handle large floor areas
- Humans take care of small corners, areas under furniture, or other complex spots
This boosts overall operational performance.
BENEFITS OF DEPLOYMENT
Targets a 50% reduction in operating headcount while optimizing each individual employee's output.
Lower training costs:
AR technology and multilingual instructions dramatically shorten training time and break down language barriers.
Provable service quality:
Before-and-after cleaning photos captured via the app are combined with the robot's route data into a complete reporting map.
TWO FLEXIBLE DEPLOYMENT MODELS TO MATCH EACH CUSTOMER'S CURRENT STATE
Human × Human:
Even without any robots on site, companies can roll out the system using only their employees' smartphones. AI then optimizes human-to-human coordination to lift productivity right away.
Robot × Human:
For sites that already deploy robots or are preparing to. The system optimizes human-robot coordination, maximizing the ROI of the hardware investment.
