Teaching a Cleaning Route Manually

Planning a Cleaning Route

Teach a route that will allow the cleaning area to be cleaned the most optimally and efficiently, taking into
consideration its layout and size (area).
n During autonomous cleaning, the machine will operate at a relatively low speed for safety.
n Time from start to completion of autonomous cleaning will be longer than the time required to teach the
cleaning route. Consider how long the battery will last when teaching a cleaning route.
n Planning the Space and Frequency
It is also important to consider the environment of the cleaning area when planning a cleaning route. For
example, teaching cleaning routes individually for an area that is cleaned every day (entrance or lobby to a
building, corridor where people are always walking) and for a low-cleaning-frequency area only cleaned several
times a month allows more effective cleaning.
When planning cleaning for a long route, check that the battery is fully charged beforehand, and take into
consideration how long the machine will operate.
n Several Areas of Differing Types
In some instances, such as in offices and schools, it is not possible to easily divide a space into cleaning zones.
You should therefore check the entire cleaning area beforehand, and plan a route so that the machine can easily
complete cleaning in a logical and predictable sequence.
For example, in an instance where there are several buildings to be cleaned or where there are several
structures to one building (college campus, etc.), using a different Home Location Code for each floor and each
structure will allow a machine to start/stop near a space where cleaning is carried out, and enable long traverses
to be avoided. It is recommended to divide a cleaning area into smaller zones for easier cleaning and
management where locations are spacious or have a special layout.
