About the Robot
  • The MT1 is an autonomous commercial sweeper for large indoor industrial and commercial floors. It follows scheduled routes, recognizes debris for targeted cleaning, avoids people and vehicles, and returns to its charging dock without an operator pushing the machine.

  • The MT1 autonomous sweeper is built specifically for commercial and industrial floors, making it ideal for navigating aisles, corridors, and open floors in warehouses, distribution centers, manufacturing facilities, retail spaces, healthcare facilities, education spaces, and hospitality environments.

  • The MT1 is engineered as a heavy-duty autonomous sweeper with high-capacity debris collection for both fine dirt and common facility debris such as paper scraps, leaves and more.

  • The MT1 Sweeper uses side brushes to guide debris into the main pickup path and deposits material in its 1.2 cubic feet waste container. It is a dry sweeper, not a wet scrubber.

  • The MT1 hopper holds 9.25 gallons (35 L).

  • The MT1 Sweeper delivers up to 3 hours of runtime per charge, covering an impressive 19,375 sq ft per hour in standard cleaning mode, which equates to roughly 58,125 sq ft per charge.

Cost & Savings
  • While autonomous floor cleaning machines require an upfront technology investment, the MT1 Sweeper significantly reduces the time employees spend driving or pushing equipment on repeatable routes. FCE makes it highly accessible with rental options.

  • By covering 19,375 sq ft per hour autonomously, the MT1 Sweeper drastically cuts manual labor on large floors, keeping the biggest facilities clean with minimal supervision so you can reallocate staff to other tasks. Exact ROI depends on floor area, cleaning frequency, wage rates, current machine time, and how much work can be moved to autonomous routes.

  • Equipped with high-capacity batteries, rapid charging, and auto-docking, the robot enables 24/7 continuous operation to meet high-frequency demands without downtime, effectively cutting manual labor on large floors.

Mapping & Scheduling
  • The sweeper utilizes a sophisticated 3D LiDAR autonomous mapping system. During the initial delivery and setup, an FCE robotics specialist will map your workflow and space to prepare the machine for use. The exact time required depends on the facility's size, number of zones, traffic patterns, floor transitions, and access requirements.

  • Yes, the MT1 autonomous sweeper can be configured with cleaning routes and zones for different areas. It is highly capable of navigating complex layouts including aisles, corridors, and open floors.

  • The machine is controlled via its integrated mobile app for scheduling off-hours or other recurring windows. For extended 24-hour operation, the machine cycles between cleaning and automatic charging.

  • The MT1 features dynamic pedestrian and vehicle avoidance. It will detect people, carts, forklifts and pallets, pause or ease aside and then resume its route with traffic undisturbed.

  • Yes, operation control and management are available through the integrated mobile app that shows operating status, cleaning progress, and task history.

  • A connection is necessary for the mobile app and OTA updates, but the onboard system handles active, real-time autonomous mapping and navigation.

Maintenance & Service
  • Routine work includes checking and emptying the hopper, inspecting the side and main brushes, cleaning the dust-control components, and wiping sensors.

  • Wearable replacement intervals depend on your specific facility's conditions. However, FCE offers an optional maintenance plan (+15% to your rental) that fully covers quarterly preventative maintenance (PM) and all wearables.

  • FCE sells, deploys, and services the MT1 Sweeper nationwide. Optional maintenance coverage adds 15% to the rental rate and includes quarterly preventive maintenance and wear items.

  • All software and navigation enhancements are delivered via OTA (Over-The-Air) updates.

Safety
  • Absolutely. The MT1 autonomous sweeper is designed to detect people, vehicles, sudden "pop-out" movements and other obstacles, then slow, stop, or reroute as conditions require.

  • The robot safely navigates and detects obstacles, including people, vehicles, pallets, and low-profile hazards, using its 3D LiDAR sensors and dynamic pedestrian and vehicle avoidance technology.

  • Equipped with Dynamic Vehicle Avoidance, the MT1 robotic sweeper detects forklifts and vehicles, pauses or eases aside to let them pass, and then seamlessly resumes its route.

Docking Station & Facility Requirements
  • The robot measures about 33.1 × 23.6 × 19.3 inches (84 × 60 × 49 cm) and the charging area also needs a clear approach and service access. A standard 110V plug-and-play outlet is all that is needed, with no 220V wiring, electrician, or plumber required.

  • The MT1 Sweeper features a pass-through width optimized for wide aisles and standard facility layouts.

  • It requires only a standard 110V outlet and does not require a 220V or hardwired connection.

Set Up & Onboarding
  • Deployment is incredibly fast since the MT1 robots are plug-and-play. FCE completes the initial mapping, setup, and training before the machine is released for autonomous operation. Exact deployment timing depends on the facility's size, number of routes, traffic conditions, network readiness, dock location, and training needs.

  • Yes, FCE provides on-site setup, mapping and staff training during delivery. There is a one-time delivery and setup fee which can be discussed with your designated robotics specialist.

  • The robot is highly user-friendly and can be controlled easily via the mobile app. After initial setup and training, an employee can select an approved job and start it through the machine's available controls or app. The team does not need to program a new route each time it runs a scheduled task.

Renting & Leasing
  • Yes, FCE offers purchase options and flexible rental terms.

  • The initial setup fee includes delivery and the docking station. You can also add an optional 15% maintenance package, which fully covers quarterly preventative maintenance (PM) and all wearables.

  • Yes, FCE offers virtual and on-site demos. A robotics specialist will walk your floor, map your workflow, and show the MT1 Sweeper working in a space like yours.

  • FCE sells, deploys, and services these robots nationwide, allowing for prompt delivery and integration once your rental term or purchase is finalized.

  • By offering highly flexible 1-month, 12-month, and 24-month rental terms, FCE provides your facility the agility to upgrade your equipment or expand your fleet seamlessly when your agreement concludes.
