Hospital Cleaning Automation Case Study: Smart Floor Scrubber Deployment in a Hospital in China

Hospitals face increasing pressure to maintain high hygiene standards while improving operational efficiency and controlling labor costs. Traditional manual cleaning methods are often unable to meet the demands of large-scale, multi-building healthcare environments.

This case study introduces how a hospital in Lishui, China, improved its cleaning operations by deploying an intelligent floor cleaning system from SIBEN.

1. Background: Why Hospital Cleaning Is Challenging

The hospital serves approximately 470,000 people and consists of multiple buildings, including outpatient and inpatient areas with high daily traffic.

Key challenges include:

· Large and fragmented cleaning areas (lobbies, corridors, wards, elevators)

· High patient flow leading to frequent floor contamination

· Strict hygiene requirements under medical sanitation regulations

· High dependency on manual labor with inconsistent cleaning quality

2. Solution: Intelligent Floor Scrubber System

To address these challenges, an autonomous floor cleaning solution was implemented, integrating sweeping, scrubbing, and drying functions into one system.

High Efficiency Cleaning

Each unit can clean approximately 2,000 square meters per hour, significantly reducing manual workload and improving response time in high-traffic areas.

Medical-Grade Hygiene Support

The system supports disinfectant-compatible cleaning, helping reduce bacterial residue on floors and supporting hospital infection control standards.

Smart Navigation & Route Planning

The equipment is capable of multi-zone and multi-floor navigation, enabling automated cleaning across different hospital buildings with minimal human intervention.

24/7 Autonomous Operation

Cleaning schedules can be customized to operate during off-peak hours, ensuring continuous cleanliness without disrupting hospital operations.

3. Results & Operational Impact

Improved Cleaning Efficiency

Cleaning efficiency increased by more than 60%, allowing faster response to floor contamination during peak hours.

Reduced Labor Costs

Automation reduced reliance on manual cleaning staff, optimizing workforce allocation and lowering long-term operational costs.

Enhanced Hygiene Compliance

More consistent cleaning and disinfection processes helped the hospital meet internal infection control requirements more reliably.

Simplified Facility Management

Staff training requirements were reduced, and cleaning operations became more standardized and easier to manage.

 

4. Client Feedback

The hospital facilities manager reported:

After deploying the SIBEN cleaning system, cleaning efficiency improved significantly. The workload of cleaning staff was reduced, and overall hygiene levels became more stable. The system is easy to operate and requires minimal maintenance effort.

5. Conclusion

This case demonstrates how intelligent floor cleaning robots can transform hospital facility management by improving cleaning efficiency, ensuring hygiene compliance, and reducing operational costs. It represents a scalable model for modern healthcare

 

Industrial Cleaning Robot Deployment Guide: Route Stability and Equipment Selection
2026 / - 08 / - 24

This guide provides a comprehensive framework for buyers evaluating industrial cleaning robots and equipment. It outlines essential site assessment criteria—such as route stability, obstacle handling, and infrastructure readiness—and details how to match SIBEN cleaning solutions (including Leishen GT and Fengshen) to specific facility workflows for optimal return on investment.

Industrial Cleaning Equipment: Rental vs. Purchase? A Complete Buyer's Decision Guide
2026 / - 08 / - 19

This article provides a scenario-specific decision-making guide for facility teams comparing the rental versus purchase of industrial cleaning equipment. The author emphasizes that decisions should not be based solely on monthly rent or purchase prices, but rather on the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), including labor savings, maintenance responsibilities, downtime risks, and usage frequency. By evaluating actual operational workflows—such as cleaning areas, soil types, and working windows—businesses can select the optimal equipment strategy to maximize efficiency and control long-term costs.

How to Choose Low-Noise Industrial Cleaning Equipment for Malls, Hospitals, and Schools Based on Cleaning Conditions
2026 / - 08 / - 21

Addressing the noise-sensitive environments of shopping malls, hospitals, and schools, this article analyzes their unique working conditions, including customer traffic flows, 24/7 noise sensitivity, and class schedules. By comparing cleaning pain points across these venues, it offers targeted recommendations for low-noise industrial cleaning equipment: malls prioritize efficiency and Eco-silent modes; hospitals demand ultra-silent performance (56-60 dB) and antibacterial features; and schools balance indoor quietness with multi-surface adaptability. A core comparison table is included to guide facility managers and procurement teams in making informed, high-efficiency decisions.

Industrial Vacuum Selection and Cleaning Equipment Guide
2026 / - 08 / - 20

This guide outlines key considerations for selecting industrial vacuums and floor scrubbers based on dust types, particle sizes, and debris. It highlights the importance of using industrial vacuums as a pre-cleaning tool before wet scrubbing, introduces SIBEN’s automated and standard equipment matching solutions, and provides practical decision criteria to optimize long-term facility cleaning costs.

Guide to Industrial Cleaning Equipment Procurement and Manufacturer Evaluation
2026 / - 08 / - 18

This article explores key factors in industrial cleaning equipment procurement, highlighting that a manufacturer's service capabilities—such as after-sales maintenance, parts supply, and training—are just as critical as machine performance. It guides buyers on scientifically pairing scrubbers, sweepers, and cleaning robots based on workflow, floor materials, and traffic flow, while evaluating total cost, delivery, and support for long-term operational success.

Cleaning Equipment Selection for Electronics Manufacturing Areas
2026 / - 08 / - 17

This article explores the core logic and equipment selection methods for industrial floor cleaning. It points out that factory floor cleaning cannot be evaluated based on area alone; instead, different types of dirt—such as oil stains, dust, metal shavings, and tire marks—must be categorized and treated accordingly, alongside the implementation of a scientific workflow consisting of "sweeping/dust extraction first, followed by scrubbing." Meanwhile, combined with SIBEN's product line (such as walk-behind/ride-on floor scrubbers, industrial cleaning robots, sweepers, and industrial vacuum cleaners), the article provides buyers with decision-making criteria based on facility layout, aisle width, operating time, and long-term costs. It emphasizes the integration of machine combinations, practical operational workflows, and long-term after-sales support to achieve efficient cost reduction.
