About ROBO-HI START (ロボハイ スタート)
Optimal collaboration between cleaning staff and robots — with no elevator retrofit costs.
A service that lets you deploy robots in existing office buildings and commercial facilities without modifying elevators or security gates. It saves labour and raises efficiency through genuine collaboration between people and robots.
The "high wall" facing robot deployment in existing facilities
Enormous elevator retrofit costs
Making robots work across multiple floors takes expensive, lengthy construction, so the large upfront investment becomes a barrier in itself.
Headcount savings that never materialise
Deploying robots on their own often fails to deliver the expected cost efficiency, and overall productivity does not improve.
IT literacy of on-site staff
Operational problems arise when staff get the robot's complex setup wrong, or delete map data by hand.
A solution built on three innovative approaches
Because people help the robots move between floors, no expensive equipment work is needed. You can start with zero upfront cost.
Rather than chasing full robot automation, it optimises how people and robots work together — which is what actually moves overall productivity.
ROBO-HI AOS handles the complex configuration. On-site staff simply follow the instructions in the smartphone app (EYECAN Staff).

ROBO-HI DANCE — the on-site service where people and robots work together
Physical control, fully built into work management
| Comparison | Traditional on-site service | ROBO-HI DANCE |
|---|---|---|
| What is managed | Workers, inventory, vehicles | Workers (by skill), jobs, robots, and both manned and unmanned vehicles |
| Task assignment | Assigned to people based on skill and location | Optimal skill-based assignment across people and robots, done automatically |
| Integration with physical space | Movement tracked on a 2D map | 3D space control, security gates, remote shutter operation and more |
Robots are strong on "surfaces", people are strong on "points" — and "lines" need the two to work together.
Why call it "DANCE" when physical control is fully built into work management? Because harmony comes from optimal placement.
on-site staff and robots move in step like dance partners — the first system of its kind in the industry.
Cleaning services
People and robots in perfect step, delivering both a spotless finish and real efficiency.
Routine cleaning fully automated, with smart dispatch whenever something unexpected comes up.
"Maintenance plan" function: generates a full year's schedule automatically.
Emergency scenario: coffee spilled in the lobby.
Smart dispatch: minimises walking. GPS instantly finds and sends the nearest staff member qualified in carpet cleaning, putting idle time to good use.
Smart constraint handling: guarantees female staff are assigned to the women's washrooms, and only card holders to secure areas.
On-site UX: a GPS check and a step-by-step task list stop anything being missed.
Real-time "Buddy" linking:
two steps that keep downtime to a minimum
Digital reporting and quality evidence:
all visualised on a single map.
Effortless daily reports
Staff simply tap "Done" on their phone and upload before/after photos — no typing anything up.
Shared with the client
A single map combining those tracks and photos is sent to the building owner automatically every day as a PDF report.
Value you can prove
Quality is evidenced on the spot: the robots did not just do it alone — people finished every detail.
Leaving dependence on people and paper behind: three benefits end to end
1. A new labour model
Reliance on people and on throwing more staff at the problem — increasingly hard to sustain amid labour shortages and rising wages.
Hand the repetitive work to robots and run leaner. A sustainable system that holds and improves quality with a smaller team.
2. A digital workflow
Multi-step paper processes (paper report → retyped into Excel → approval → time lost and errors introduced converting to PDF).
Everything completed on a smartphone, with no re-keying and no manual consolidation. Administrative time for staff and managers drops to almost nothing.
3. Value you can prove
Slow record retrieval — digging through old paperwork after a complaint, which only triggers a second complaint.
Real-time cloud
information management. Retrieve when, who and where in seconds, putting an end to "we said, they said" disputes.
Moving on from robots that only raise alerts
A people-and-robot collaboration system, built by a long-established robot manufacturer.
Not a complicated IT tool, but a simple companion app on-site staff pick up straight away.
It is the most practical way to drive digital transformation at low cost.
Real collaboration between people and robots, with ROBO-HI DANCE.
