WhichBot

How many robots, which model — and what it saves

Give the floor area and what needs cleaning — dry, wet, or both. We size a fleet across PUDU, Gausium & CenoBots and show each model's throughput, clean time, labour saved and an indicative AUD payback.

Your labour

AU cleaning cost & supervision.

A$

Effective rate A$ 45/hr (wage + on-costs). Supervision = loading, refilling, resets & checks per robot per day. Reach = share of floor a robot can get to (the rest — under racks, tight corners — stays a manual job).

Commercial model

How you'd acquire the robot.

Figures are our indicative estimates — edit any model's price on its card.

Assumptions

Manual cleaner speed: 400 m²/h (both) — the crew a robot replaces.

Robot speed:we take the maker's rated coverage and cut it to 51% — real robots lose speed to obstacles, overlaps & turns (×60%), and only clean part of a shift once you subtract docking, recharging & water refills (×85%). So a robot rated 1,000 m²/h effectively does ~510m²/h. Bold “up to” (theoretical-max) figures are cut harder — to 38% (×45% before window duty).

Amortise / lease term: PUDU 5y · Gausium 3y · CenoBots 2y — each brand's warranty / service window.

Lease: a monthly payment financed at 9% p.a. over that term, plus consumables.

All figures A$ (AUD), ex-GST — indicative estimates. Confirm with a vendor quote.

Fleet size

Single robot — one unit cleans the whole floor over several sessions or maps (lowest cost). At 3,000m², one robot can't finish some models in a single window — switch to Full coverage to add as many robots as needed to cover the floor within your cleaning window.

One robot only keeps up with ~90% of this site within the cleaning window — switch to Full coverage to clean it all. Savings below reflect just the area it can reach.

Wet cleaning — dock needs a water source + floor drain.

Large per-robot area — needs 1 mid-pass recharge of ~3 h each (return-to-dock), adding 3 h to one clean.

Single robot: one clean spans ~2 sessions / maps over ~2 nights (recharging between). For a same-night clean, use Full coverage.
