「ROBO-HI DANCE」: A DX Solution for Smart Cleaning Operations
Digitizing people and workflows before introducing robots
ROBO-HI Corporation has announced a new implementation model of its field productivity improvement service「ROBO-HI DANCE」 tailored for cleaning service providers.
As labor shortages continue to worsen in the cleaning industry, many companies are increasingly relying on foreign technical laborers. However, language and cultural barriers have significantly increased training costs. While robot adoption has been explored as a solution, many worksites remain insufficiently digitized, limiting improvements to only partial optimization.
「ROBO-HI DANCE」addresses these challenges through a three-stage approach:
- Stage 1: Digitize workers and workflows to dramatically improve productivity
- Stage 2: Optimize robot deployment using newly created operational resources
- Stage 3: Maximize performance through collaboration between humans and robots
Using only a smartphone, staff members can:
- Follow AR-guided cleaning routes based on expert workflows
- Manage tasks and monitor progress
- Access multilingual support
Without requiring new hardware investment, the system immediately digitizes valuable on-site tacit knowledge, reducing training costs and maximizing profitability from day one.
As labor shortages and wage increases intensify, ROBO-HI DANCE helps transform labor-intensive and person-dependent cleaning operations into sustainable and profitable worksites.
ROBO-HI DANCE: Advanced Field Management with Just a Smartphone
Three Steps to Accelerate Cleaning DX
Step 1: AR Navigation for Optimal Cleaning Routes
The system creates a 3D map of the facility and provides AR navigation via smartphone, guiding staff through the most efficient cleaning routes with multilingual support.
Even new employees can achieve productivity levels comparable to experienced workers.
Step 2: Immediate Response to Unexpected Cleaning Tasks
When a staff member completes scheduled cleaning tasks early, the system instantly assigns nearby ad-hoc cleaning requests, such as spilled drinks, maximizing workforce utilization.
It also optimizes support dispatching between nearby sites, turning surplus labor capacity into new revenue opportunities.
Step 3: Maximizing Productivity Through Human-Robot Collaboration
ROBO-HI DANCE enables hybrid operations between humans and robots to maximize productivity.
Similar to seamless teamwork between people, the system autonomously allocates tasks:
- Robots handle large open floor areas
- Humans manage corners, under furniture, and detailed spaces
This collaboration significantly improves operational efficiency.
Benefits of Implementation
Improved Productivity
Aims to reduce labor requirements by up to 50% while maximizing worker efficiency.
Reduced Training Costs
AR technology and multilingual tutorials greatly shorten training time and overcome language barriers.
Quality Verification
Before-and-after cleaning photos are integrated with robot movement trajectories into a single comprehensive report map.
Two Flexible Deployment Modes
Human × Human
Even without robots, companies can implement the system using only employees’ smartphones. AI optimizes staff collaboration to deliver immediate productivity improvements.
Robot × Human
Designed for facilities that have already deployed robots or plan to do so. The system maximizes collaboration between humans and robots to improve hardware investment ROI.
