LionsBot launches world’s first 'Zero Click' cleaning robots
Anyone can use the R3 Vac and R3 Scrub Pro without any training.
LionsBot International, home to award-winning cleaning robots in over 30 countries, has unveiled three new products – the R3 Vac, R3 Scrub Pro and the MagicTag – that revolutionise autonomous professional cleaning. Both the R3 Vac and R3 Scrub Pro are professional-grade vacuuming and scrubbing robots respectively, while the MagicTag enables both LionsBots to become 'Zero Click' and very easy to use.
Currently, there is a global shortage of professional cleaners. However, most professional cleaning robots still require users to undergo extensive training before using the robot. Coupled with the high turnover rate experienced in the cleaning industry, this is not practical. With the patent-pending MagicTag’s “Zero Click” feature, the R3 Vac and R3 Scrub Pro are designed to be one of the easiest robots to use. Any cleaner can operate the robots with zero clicks on the touch screen and deployment can be achieved in minutes.
“LionsBot makes robots that people love to use", says Dylan Ng Terntzer, CEO of LionsBot International. "The user experience is at the core of our product development. We are excited to introduce the MagicTag, which makes professional cleaning robots accessible to every cleaner regardless of experience or age. It is so easy to use that every cleaner can now benefit from having a cleaning robot assist them."
MagicTag – Any cleaner can use professional cleaning robots without training
LionsBot’s newest revolutionary product, the MagicTag, simplifies the traditional, multi-step setup process into just one action, allowing anyone to clean without the need for extensive training. Sun Jing You, a cleaner at Absolute Maintenance Services, explains how cleaning with the MagicTag has changed his life:
“Before the MagicTag, starting a cleaning robot used to take up to 10 minutes,” he says. “I used to have to bring the robot to a fixed area and get it localised. Once I had succeeded, I would then key in the settings unique to each cleaning area. All these steps were needed, just to start the robot.” Now, he simply pushes the R3 Vac to the vicinity of the MagicTag. It automatically remembers the cleaning area and starts cleaning. “I don’t even have to press a single button – the robot starts cleaning automatically in 10 seconds,” he adds.
The MagicTag also relieves cleaners and their management of hours of training, thereby further improving efficiency for organisations. “I am 52 years old, and admittedly not the savviest with technology,” he reveals. “The older robots can get frustrating and confusing sometimes. I also avoid troubling my manager as I know that he is busy too. It was stressful every time I had to use robots until my company introduced the MagicTag. I learnt how to use it with the R3 Vac right away.”
For the manager, Jadon, the MagicTag provided much needed respite as well: “Those week-long training sessions were quite a bane,” he admits. “We had no choice because there was so much information the cleaners had to learn, and we needed robots to maximise our cleaning efficiency. After we started with the MagicTag, staff were proactive in using the R3 Vac every day. I see that as a win - not only in performance but in job satisfaction as well.”
R3 Vac – The Professional Vacuum Solution
The R3 Vac is a professional grade vacuuming robot designed for offices, retail stores, community spaces and other indoor areas with high traffic. Equipped with side brushes that deliver 0cm edge cleaning for a comprehensive clean at every corner, the R3 Vac combines both microfibre and brush rollers to cater to different surfaces be it hard concrete floors, vinyl or delicate carpets. At only 655mm tall – a compact size for a professional cleaning robot – the R3 Vac is nimble enough to clean even under tables easily.
Innovatively constructed and built solidly with high quality materials, the R3 Vac features a rotomolded six-litre tank, powerful Brushless Direct Current (BLDC) motors, anti-seize wheels made of engineered plastic and more. Made with durability in mind and lasting for more than five years with daily use, it boasts a full-battery charge that takes merely two hours will power the energy-efficient R3 Vac for up to three hours with a cleaning coverage of up to 2,400sq.m per charge.
Offering more than just cleaning, the R3 Vac is considerate of the environment in which it cleans. The R3 Vac clocks an average of 60dB – quiet enough for regular conversations to still take place as it runs. Equipped with a patent-pending microfibre bag and medical-grade HEPA H13 air filter, the R3 Vac purifies the air around it as it cleans. It has a full suite of sensors that allows it to see the world in 3D and is intelligent enough to avoid glass surfaces and mirrors.
For the user, the R3 Vac is simply the easiest professional robot to use, says the company. Syncing with the MagicTag, it automatically runs on schedule and returns back when it is done. Its floor tool and vacuum hose are designed to be easily detached and cleaned for easy maintenance without any tools. Ergonomically designed handle bars and quick release mechanisms make manual cleaning comfortable for anyone.
R3 Scrub Pro – Pro Cleaning Made Easy
Taking professional cleaning to the next level, the R3 Scrub Pro delivers high-quality cleaning – often associated with much bigger cleaning machines – in a compact, agile size. Designed and built in Singapore, the R3 Scrub Pro makes heavy-duty cleaning possible even in tight spaces in airports, supermarkets and healthcare establishments.
The R3 Scrub Pro eliminates pre-sweeping with its cylindrical brushes and two side brushes delivering 0cm edge cleaning results. Users can choose between different brushes and pressure settings – option of various brushes and microfibre rollers delivering up to 8Kg downward force – to ensure optimal strength is applied to effectively clean any stain or grime without harming the surface.
The R3 Scrub Pro has a 21-litre tank capacity that is thought to be twice that of other similar sized machines. It is fitted with the new patent-pending Single-Pass Squeegee that features improved suction and airflow for maximum dryness. Built upon a premium stainless-steel chassis and heavy-duty components, the R3 Scrub Pro is designed to be used daily for more than five years.
With just two hours for a full-battery charge, the R3 Scrub Pro can clean for up to 3.5 hours with a cleaning coverage of up to 1,800sq.m/hr. Maintenance is designed to be quick and simple with the brushes and debris hopper easily accessible and removable without any tools required.
