Collaborative robots (cobots) are becoming increasingly common in cleaning operations, but their value goes far beyond simple labour savings. In this session, Jay Adderley C.Env.Cln, Chartered Cleaning Professional and Operations Director at CleanEvent Services, shares an operational perspective on how cobotics are evolving and being used in real-world environments such as stadiums, arenas and other high-footfall venues.

Rather than a sales pitch, this talk explores the practical realities of integrating cobots into cleaning teams, highlighting benefits including improved consistency, enhanced staff morale, safer working practices and extending the life of flooring assets.
A grounded look at how cobotics can support the future of cleaning operations.
