Intelligent Dust Control Case: Empowering Compliance and Safety with Technology

In the powder metallurgy industry, workshop dust management is critical for ensuring operational safety, regulatory compliance, and employee health. Accumulated metal dust not only risks equipment failures but also exposes enterprises to penalties and production halts. A powder metallurgy factory in jiangmen addressed these challenges by adopting SIBEN's  intelligent cleaning solution, resolving multi-floor cleaning complexities and setting a benchmark for efficient, compliant, and cost-effective smart cleaning.

I. Case Background:  Multi-floor workshop cleaning pain points highlighted, traditional cleaning model unsustainable

The factory specializes in powder metallurgy components, operating a three-story workshop spanning 1,800 m². Daily cleaning must cover eight production lines, two material corridors, and three storage zones. The nature of powder metallurgy generates heavy metal dust accumulation and stubborn floor residues, complicating cleaning efforts. Prior to implementing SIBEN's cleaning solution, the company relied on manual labor and push-type floor scrubbers, leading to critical limitations:

• Low efficiency & subpar cleanliness: Five cleaners took 4.5 hours to clean the entire area, leaving 30% residual dust. Blind spots like equipment gaps and corners remained unaddressed, creating persistent safety hazards.

• High labor costs & cumbersome workflow: Monthly labor costs exceeded ¥21,000, requiring two workers per scrubber. Manual methods failed to capture fine metal particles, necessitating secondary wiping and further increasing costs.

• Compliance risks & safety gaps: Dust concentrations consistently exceeded regulatory thresholds, triggering failed safety inspections. This exposed the plant to penalties, production stoppages, and risks of dust explosions or occupational lung diseases.

II. Customized Solution: Leveraging Industrial Floor Washing  Robot Thunder God's Core Advantages

To address this factory's multi-floor layout, metal dust pollution, and compliance needs, SIBEN deployed the most popular industrial floor scrubbing robot, integrating SLAM, 3D vision, autonomous path planning, and multi-sensor fusion. Key advantages include:

1. All-in-One Deep Cleaning: Eliminating Blind Spots

• Multiple function design: Combines scrubbing, drying, and dust mopping to remove metal dust, oil stains, debris, and residues.

• Precision Coverage: Advanced 3D vision and path planning enable access to narrow spaces (e.g., equipment gaps), reducing dust residue to 0.5%.

2. Autonomous Operation: Cutting Costs, Boosting Efficiency

• Unattended Workflow: Self-charging, automatic clean water refilling/sewage drain allows 24/7 operation. Cleaning time reduced from 4.5 hours to 1.5 hours (efficiency up 66.7%).

• Labor Savings: One robot replaces three workers, cutting monthly labor costs by ¥16,000. Staff reduced from five to one (maintenance-only).

• Fast Charging: A 24V/50AH lithium battery fully charges in 1 hour, supporting high-frequency use.

3. Regulatory Compliance & Safety Guarantees

• Dust Control Precision: High-efficiency suction systems maintain post-cleaning dust levels at ≤0.3 mg/m³, meeting national standards. Post-implementation, the plant passed three consecutive safety inspections.

• Four-Layer Protection: 360° sensors prevent collisions, ensuring human-robot safety.

4. Smart Adaptability & Streamlined Maintenance

• Elevator Integration: Auto-navigates floors via smart protocols, returning to charging stations post-task.

• User-Friendly Controls: Customizable paths/durations; minimal training required.

• Quick-Change Parts: Magnetic disc brushes and tool-free assembly simplify maintenance.

• Cloud-Based Management: Remote monitoring, diagnostics, and automated reports via app/platform.

III. Client Testimonial & Tailored Services

Mr. Zhang, Production Manager at this factory, praised the results:

"Since deploying Thunder God, our dust issues are resolved. Single-pass cleaning achieves deep purification, slashing labor costs and ensuring seamless compliance."
