Whiz provides an autonomous cobotic vacuum system for commercial facilities, using AI navigation and SLAM to continuously clean large floor areas while reporting coverage and performance via a cloud analytics platform. The solution integrates with existing facility‑management software through REST APIs, allowing staff to focus on higher‑value tasks such as disinfection and inspection.

Problem
Commercial cleaning teams spend a significant portion of labor hours on repetitive vacuuming, leading to inconsistent floor coverage, higher fatigue, and limited capacity to perform higher‑value tasks such as sanitization. Staffing shortages and tight profit margins exacerbate the difficulty of maintaining uniform cleaning standards across large facilities.
Solution
Whiz is a cobotic vacuum system that autonomously navigates complex commercial environments using the BrainOS self‑driving stack. The robot executes continuous vacuuming while a connected analytics suite, WhizConnect, aggregates telemetry to generate route‑efficiency reports and performance dashboards. Data are transmitted over a secure TLS channel to a cloud service where algorithms identify coverage gaps and suggest schedule adjustments. Operators interact with an intuitive touchscreen UI or mobile app to start, pause, or reassign cleaning runs without specialized training. The platform integrates with existing facility‑management software via RESTful APIs, enabling automated work‑order creation and KPI tracking. By offloading routine vacuuming to the robot, cleaning staff can redirect effort toward deep‑cleaning, disinfection, and inspection activities.
Target Audience
Primary customers are facilities managers and cleaning service contractors responsible for large‑scale venues such as office complexes, retail centers, hospitals, and hospitality venues that require consistent floor maintenance.
