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."

Before You Sign: A Receiving Inspection and Commissioning Checklist for Industrial Cleaning Equipment
2026 / - 11 / - 06

An industrial cleaning machine costs the most on delivery day: defects found before signing stay with the vendor, after signing they become warranty tickets. This checklist covers the receiving window — match contract, packing list and certificates; check damage and parts; verify nameplate data against the contract; run empty, then loaded trials on your floor; confirm training and spares handover; sign an itemized acceptance sheet; log warranty and claim dates; add certificate checks in dusty areas; watch the run-in week.

How to Choose Cleaning Equipment for Hospitals & Schools: Robots Handle Fixed Routes, Humans Handle Judgment
2026 / - 11 / - 05

Facilities putting cleaning robots into hospitals and schools often fall into two extremes — "buy it and we can fire the cleaners" or "mixed human-robot environments are too risky, robots are useless." Both are wrong. The right approach is: robots run stable, repetitive, pre-authorised routes; humans handle anything that needs judgment. This article lays out a four-part framework you can execute directly.

The Gauge Is Not the Ground: Five Links That Steal High-Pressure Cleaning Force
2026 / - 11 / - 04

Pressure at the pump outlet is not pressure at the surface. Force is lost across five links: the pump curve, hose length, fitting bore, nozzle orifice and operator standoff. This guide shows how to test each link in minutes, why a nozzle is a consumable rather than an accessory, and how to record a test-patch baseline so acceptance is repeatable instead of subjective.

Auto Service Bay Cleaning: Zone by Water, Not by Habit, Then Prove It
2026 / - 10 / - 20

Most workshop cleaning fails because one mop travels the whole floor. A bay that holds oil, a booth that holds overspray and a high-voltage bay that must stay dry need different methods, tools and sign-offs. This guide sets one zoning test, walks through four zone types, covers waste and wash water, and closes with three records that make the work provable.

Repair or Replace Cleaning Equipment: Retire the Old Unit, Then Accept the New One
2026 / - 10 / - 21

Most fleets do not fail at buying; they fail at retiring. A machine that still turns may no longer belong on that floor, and an old unit hauled away without records can return as a liability. This guide gives four tests for keep-or-replace, three price anchors for resale, the fork between scrap and transfer, battery handover, star clauses in tenders, and a three-sign-off acceptance.

Robot Floor Scrubbers: How to Verify Cleaning Quality on Site
2026 / - 10 / - 22

Coverage data proves a robot drove somewhere, not that the floor is clean. This guide splits cleanliness into four measurable values, classifies soil into four types, and describes three low-cost field tests. It then explains how to code sampling points, keep results stable across shifts, assign cause when a check fails, and write acceptance criteria into a service contract.

Warehouse Dust Cleaning That Survives an Inspection: Three Heights, Three Cycles, One Signed Card
2026 / - 10 / - 23

Most warehouse cleaning rules mention floors and stop there. Dust settles where airflow is slow, on rack beams, light fittings and cable trays. This guide splits a warehouse into three height bands, maps each band to per-shift, weekly and monthly cycles, and shows how to prove the work was done using a cloth test, a weighing test and a re-settling check.

Factory Floor Oil Management: Containment, Recovery, and Slip Prevention

Oil on a factory floor is a chain problem, not a mop problem. This guide traces four oil sources (equipment leaks, maintenance work, drum handling, vehicles), sets up three control lines, introduces a three-tier leak log, explains containment hardware like drip trays and spill pallets, lays out a five-step recovery order, and shows how to manage slip risk, choose machines for each stage, and prove where the oily waste went.
