Healthcare facility cleanliness is paramount to the well-being and safety of patients and medical staff. However, environmental labor challenges and inconsistent service quality can stand in the way of standard operating procedures. Plus, when cleaning staff’s responsibilities are routinely filled with repetitive, tedious tasks, healthcare facility management teams often experience more worker injuries, lower work engagement, and reduced operational efficiency.
In the face of rising operational costs, hospitals, medical offices, and other healthcare facilities must find new solutions to optimize their resources and motivate staff within their allocated budget.
Hospital-cleaning robots, such as Whiz and Scrubber 50 Pro, support your environmental services staff by yielding a consistent, high-quality cleaning performance for soft and hard floors, including hospital hallways, waiting rooms, and other common, high-trafficked areas. Their responsive design helps them navigate safely around your facility at all hours, which means that your hospital staff can dedicate more time toward higher value-based services — such as sanitizing and deep-cleaning high-touch surfaces — that also promote higher worker engagement and job satisfaction.

Hospitals and other healthcare facilities demand superior quality and consistency of cleaning services to keep their staff, patients, and visitors safe and healthy. Our commercial-grade solutions equip healthcare facility teams to execute their tasks more efficiently, thanks to our best-in-class AI capabilities that keep systems always “up to date” and responsive to environmental changes. To provide uninterrupted improvements to performance over time, operating system updates can run in the background while your robots complete their scheduled routes.
Once fully integrated into your existing cleaning operations, our robotic solutions fulfill dull, repetitive tasks and work alongside your environmental staff with minimal management. That means you spend less time overseeing and more time completing tasks, tending to high-touch services, and achieving standard operating procedures (SOPs).
Meet — and exceed — your SOPs confidently with near real-time, insights-based reporting. Our data-driven robotic solutions offer proof of service that assures management teams and patients alike of your cleaning services quality. Our proprietary data and reporting platform, SoftBank Robotics Connect, gives our customers a clear window into their cleaning performance, maintenance needs, and fleet management so they can make smarter decisions that maximize ROI.
Plus, because your environment staff can use our service robotics throughout the day, our solutions provide a visual proof of clean and remind patients and staff of your ongoing commitment to, and investment in, cutting-edge cleaning capabilities.
To help healthcare management teams plan their budgets with greater accuracy, we offer guaranteed fixed costs for defined periods of time, including no-cost repairs. Compared to always-increasing, variable cleaning costs, our service robotics help management teams improve operating margins, increase confidence in your cleaning services, and mitigate rising labor costs — such as wages and staff turnover.
Optimize labor and productivity within your available budget with our automated solutions. Healthcare facilities that deploy our robots to address their repetitive, dull, and sometimes dangerous cleaning tasks find that their environmental staff can instead focus on the complementary, high-touch, and value-based detail work that is necessary to improve patient outcomes. This, in turn, contributes to greater staff engagement and safer, healthier, and more rewarding work environments.
Patients and medical staff enjoy seeing our robotic solutions at work. They differentiate your healthcare facility and offer a cost-effective solution to leverage the best of both technology and your people.
With visible proof that your patients are in a clean, safe, and healthy environment, you can benefit from improved patient experience and rankings within the healthcare system, which ultimately lead to enhanced reputation and greater profitability for your healthcare facility.
As part of the largest technology fund in the world, our depth of robotic experience, research, and knowledge leads the market with over 35,000 robotic solutions successfully deployed in service industries globally.
With white glove services, including onboarding, deployment, operations reviews, and a world-class on-call technical support structure, our market-leading integrated, robotic solutions can be adopted quickly and successfully in virtually any facility.
Industry standard-setting methodologies drive the adoption of collaborative robots and deliver proven business value, guaranteed (subject to requirements).
SoftBank Robotics Connect, our proprietary data and reporting platform, constantly gathers data from its integrated robots as they clean. It stores information about routes followed, assists needed, runtime, and other insights in the cloud. Access data via SoftBank Robotics Connect in near real-time to guide reporting and optimization opportunities.
The SoftBank Robotics Connect dashboard is also your entry point to efficiently managing a broader robotics ecosystem. Facility managers can operate cleaning robots across hospitals, medical offices, and other locations through a single cloud-based interface. Through the dashboard, users can effectively manage their fleets, while managers can track ROI.
