Scheduling daily robotic vacuuming guarantees consistent cleaning
Baseline:
23 person minutes to clean one guestroom hallway
With Tailos:
4.5 person minutes to clean one guestroom hallway
The Challenge
The 476 room branded hotel was searching for a way to adjust housemen duties to provide more support to room attendants while still maintaining cleanliness on each of the 24 guestroom floors. With guestroom linen stripping and clean linen delivery taking up valuable time, housemen typically had little time remaining in the day to fully vacuum hallways.
The Solution
The full service hotel launched with Rosie, Tailos’s self-driving vacuums. Housemen were assigned daily set number of floors to vacuum and utilized three Rosies at a time to clean while the housemen accomplished other necessary tasks. By using Rosie to clean the hallways, housemen were able to better support room attendants and deliver a cleaner first experience to arriving guests.
