Germany, March, 2023 – SoftBank Robotics, in partnership with NEXT FM Robotics, are together with Gegenbauer, a leading supplier of facilities management services, introducing innovative robotic solutions to workplaces throughout Germany.
Gegenbauer, in partnership with SoftBank Robotics and NEXT FM Robotics, have deployed a large number of Whiz robots into office buildings in just the past 3 months, saving valuable time and increasing the cleaning standards, but also the satisfaction levels of both office users and employees in these environments.
Whiz is a cobotic vacuum cleaner designed to collaborate with cleaning teams to create happier, healthier spaces. It handles vacuuming so that cleaners can focus on more important cleaning tasks. The Whiz autonomous vacuum cleaner can clean efficiently and consistently in large areas, whilst also reducing harmful particles on average by 53%, improving occupant wellbeing.

There is a huge opportunity for businesses to now embrace new technologies and adopt new business models in order to drive both employee engagement, retention, and increase productivity and they have recognised that introducing robotics as a smarter solution for facilities management, is another way to make them leaders in the facilities management field.

We are excited to have been able to make such an impact within our customers environments", said Markus Barkholz, Project Manager Application Technology, Robots and Machines, of Gegenbauer, Germany.
