BG1 Pro Industrial Scrubber-Sweeper Robot

The BG1 is a large autonomous scrubber-sweeper designed for heavy-duty floor cleaning in warehouses and large facilities. It collects dry debris, scrubs and recovers water in one pass, responds to changing floor conditions, and returns to its optional workstation for charging and fluid service.

Yes. The BG1 Pro uses a sweeper-scrubber design to collect dry debris and scrub the floor in one pass. It can also respond differently to wet spills by retracting sweeping components and concentrating on scrubbing.

While specific debris dimensions vary, heavy-duty industrial robotic scrubber-sweepers like the BG1 Pro are designed to capture light dust, dirt, and typical warehouse debris prior to the scrubbing action, preventing streaks and protecting the scrub deck.

The BG1 Pro is specifically built for commercial and industrial floors, making it ideal for navigating aisles, corridors, and open floors in warehouses, distribution centers, retail spaces, healthcare facilities, educational institutions, and hospitality environments. It is not a good fit for carpet, tight rooms, or constantly blocked aisles.

The BG1 Pro collects dry debris in a 1.32-gallon (5 L) hopper, while recovered liquid goes into a separate 15.85-gallon (60 L) recovery tank. The clean-water tank holds 19.81 gallons (75 L), and the dual detergent tanks hold about 1.85 gallons (7 L) total.

The BG1 delivers up to 3 hours of runtime per charge, depending on the cleaning mode and conditions. It covers an impressive 21,528 sq ft per hour, which equates to roughly 64,584 sq ft per charge.

The BG1 is designed primarily for autonomous routes. Staff can pause, position, or move the machine using its available controls as needed for transport or manual spot cleaning.

Yes. The BG1 Pro can detect spills and stubborn dirt, adjust brush pressure and detergent use, and direct additional cleaning to areas that need it. Its sweeping components can retract around wet spills so the scrub deck can address them.

Robotic floor cleaning equipment typically has a higher acquisition cost than traditional floor cleaning machines, but the BG1 Pro reduces the time employees spend driving or pushing equipment on repeatable routes for significant labor savings over time. FCE makes it highly accessible with rental options.

By automating up to 21,528 sq ft of cleaning per hour, the BG1 cuts out the manual labor of manually operating sweepers and scrubbers. The strongest case is usually a facility with large repeatable areas where staff can shift from operating equipment to detail cleaning, inspections, and other high-value facility work. FCE can help compare the BG1's cost with your current labor and equipment costs.

The BG1 replaces the need for multiple manually-operated machines. Furthermore, with auto-docking and rapid charging, the robot manages its own power and fluids, drastically reducing daily maintenance time and equipment clutter.

Yes. Consistently removing abrasive dry dust and wet grime prevents these contaminants from being ground into floor finishes by foot and forklift traffic, ultimately preserving your floor coatings and improving facility air quality. The specific effect on coating life or building systems depends on the material, floor condition, traffic, and the rest of the facility's maintenance program.

The BG1 Pro autonomous scrubber-sweeper receives Over-the-Air (OTA) updates to keep its software, navigation, and mobile app controls current. Your FCE robotics specialist can detail any specific long-term cloud subscription terms for fleet tracking during your consultation.

The BG1 actively maps and navigates your facility using a sophisticated 96-beam 3D LiDAR + SLAM autonomous mapping system. Its navigation and obstacle-detection system identifies people, vehicles, pallets, furniture, and low-profile hazards so the machine can slow, stop, or adjust its route.

Operation and cleaning modes are managed via the integrated mobile app. The BG1 Pro’s autonomous mapping software allows facilities to define customized cleaning parameters for different zones, aisles, and corridors.

Equipped with high-capacity batteries and auto-docking, the BG1 enables 24/7 continuous operation. Scheduling overnight or off-peak shifts is effortlessly managed through the mobile app, the machine will automatically cycle between cleaning and charging as needed.

The BG1 features Dynamic Vehicle Avoidance and Pedestrian & Animal Avoidance. It will detect forklifts, pallets, sudden "pop-out" movements, and temporary obstacles, then slow, stop or adjust its route as needed. Significant or permanent changes to the approved cleaning area may require the map or route to be updated.

Yes, comprehensive operation controls, progress tracking, task history and management are available through the integrated mobile app.

A connection is necessary for mobile app access and OTA updates. However, the BG1’s onboard system can handle the active, real-time autonomous navigation without relying solely on a constant internet feed.

The docking station handles automatic charging, water supply, drainage, and detergent management entirely on its own, and an optional add-on can empty the hopper. Staff typically only need to perform basic visual inspections, wipe down sensors, and manually empty the dry debris hopper as needed.

Wearable replacement intervals depend heavily on your facility's floor condition. However, FCE offers a highly recommended maintenance plan (+15% to your rental) that fully covers quarterly preventative maintenance (PM) and all wear parts.

The BG1 utilizes its companion mobile app to communicate with operators. As an industry standard, the robot pushes real-time notifications to the app if a mechanical fault or fluid shortage occurs.

FCE sells, deploys, and services the BG1 Pro autonomous scrubber-sweeper nationwide. Optional maintenance coverage adds 15% to the rental rate and includes quarterly preventive maintenance and wear items to ensure peak performance.

Software and navigation improvements are delivered through over-the-air updates. Internet access is required when updates are downloaded.

Absolutely. It is equipped with Pedestrian & Animal Avoidance to react to sudden movements, and Dynamic Vehicle Avoidance to detect active forklifts and safely yield the right of way.

The robot relies on 3D LiDAR and dynamic pedestrian and vehicle avoidance technology to actively sense and steer clear of hazards including people, vehicles, pallets, furniture, and low-profile hazards.

Operating as an autonomous scrubber, the BG1 Pro is engineered to scrub and dry in a single pass, ensuring large, high-traffic corridors remain safe for foot traffic.

The BG1 Pro uses integrated internal vacuums alongside their sweeping mechanisms to effectively capture fine dust and prevent it from becoming airborne prior to the scrubbing cycle.

The BG1 is controlled via the mobile app. As a strict regulatory standard for industrial robotics, it also features highly visible physical emergency stop buttons for immediate manual override.

The BG1 is a large-capacity machine, so its workstation needs a clear approach plus room for routine service and existing water and drain access. Exact workstation dimensions and clearances will be confirmed for the selected configuration during setup.

With the optional workstation, the machine can return automatically for charging, clean-water refill, recovery-tank drainage, and detergent dispensing. Emptying the dry debris hopper is a manual process unless the compatible optional dumping solution is added.

The BG1 Pro workstation uses a standard outlet and does not require 220V or a hardwired electrical connection. It can use an existing clean-water source and drain for automatic fluid service, with no permanent plumbing modifications required.

The BG1 Pro is engineered to navigate standard ADA-compliant inclines and thresholds typically found in large industrial facilities. Floor transitions, ramps, thresholds, and gaps will be evaluated during initial setup.

Yes, the BG1 uses 3D LiDAR for its navigation, which does not rely on ambient facility lighting, allowing it to execute its 24/7 continuous operation even in dark overnight conditions.

Deployment is incredibly fast since the BG1 robots are plug-and-play. Upon delivery, 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.
