Jan Martijn, Senior Product Manager Europe & Pacific at Nilfisk, explains: "Our customers' employees are no longer spending hours on wet floor cleaning. Thanks to the use of the Liberty SC50, important time windows and resources are freed up to perform tasks that can actually only be carried out by humans - such as cleaning and disinfecting sanitary areas, kitchens and canteens or waiting and recreation rooms." In addition, autonomous operation effectively reduces the risk of infection, as staff no longer come into contact with potentially contaminated floors. "Autonomous machines significantly reduce the time employees spend in areas that may be colonized with germs. Once the user has stored a cleaning path in the Liberty SC50, it cleans the same path every time without the need for human intervention," Martijn continues. Thanks to a powerful battery, the machine works continuously for up to six hours. This performance is sufficient to clean even extensive areas. When the job is done or if the machine needs assistance, it sends the operator a text message.

Companies and organizations that want to purchase an autonomous floor cleaning solution are initially faced with higher upfront investments. "Nevertheless, the increased productivity and reduced labor costs guarantee a quick return on investment. For facilities with larger areas that are cleaned daily, such as airports or shopping centers, the purchase of a Liberty SC50 pays for itself after just 14 to 24 months," adds Wilfer. The resource-saving operation also contributes to this. Intelligent Nilfisk technologies such as "EcoFlex", "SmartFlow" and "REV" ensure that no more energy, water and cleaning agents are used than necessary. Furthermore, the Liberty SC50 is able to work in complete darkness, allowing it to clean at night without additional power consumption.
