Autonomous Cleaning Solutions for Modern Airports

Canadian airports operate around the clock, and so do Epic Robotics' autonomous facility maintenance solutions. From terminal floor cleaning with the CC1, large-area sweeping with the MT1 Max, carpet vacuuming with the MT1 VAC featuring HEPA filtration technology, and snow removal through Yarbo, our robotic fleet keeps terminals cleaner, outdoor spaces safer, and operations more efficient.

The result is a consistently passenger-ready environment with lower labor dependency and measurable operational savings.

Operational Challenges Facing Airport Facility Teams

Rising Airport Labor Costs Never Stop

Airport janitorial roles are physically demanding, require overnight shifts, and carry one of the highest turnover rates in facility services. Every resignation means recruiting, retraining, and uncovered shifts.

Manual Cleaning Cannot Keep Up 

Boarding gates, baggage claim, and food court corridors go from clean to visibly dirty within an hour of arrival. Traditional custodial schedules were not built for this volume, frequency, or cleaning gap. 

Peak Hours Leave No Room for Cleaning 

Thousands of passengers move through concourses and gate areas simultaneously during peak hours. Deploying cleaning staff in active zones creates safety risks and still leaves large areas unattended.

Poor Cleanliness Costs You Revenue

Passengers who rate cleanliness as poor spend measurably less in terminal retail and food outlets. This is not just a hygiene problem; it directly impacts the revenue airport leadership is accountable for.

How Epic Robotics Automates Terminal Cleaning

Step 1

Map Your Terminal

Our team programs your terminal layout, floor zones, restricted areas, and cleaning schedules into the system before the first autonomous cleaning cycle runs.

Step 2

Autonomous Cleaning

The robot follows its programmed route across every terminal zone, sweeping, scrubbing, vacuuming, and mopping floors without staff supervision or manual guidance.

Step 3

Live Obstacle Avoidance

LiDAR, depth cameras, and infrared sensors detect passengers, luggage, and staff in real time and reroute the robot continuously without interrupting the active cleaning cycle.

Step 4

Reporting and Analytics

Every cycle generates a structured digital log covering zones completed, area covered, duration, and flagged areas accessible on demand through the cloud dashboard.

how automated airport terminal cleaning improves your operations

Every Zone Cleaned on Schedule 

The robot follows a fixed route every shift, at the same time, without supervision. Day crew, night crew, or no crew, the cleaning consistency never varies.

Reallocate Staff to Higher-Value Tasks

Floor scrubbing runs on its own. Your cleaning staff handles restrooms, high-touch surfaces, spill response, and passenger-facing tasks that need human attention.

Improve Passenger Satisfaction Scores

Airports running robotic floor cleaning programs consistently receive positive passenger feedback citing cleanliness as a standout part of their experience.

More Coverage Without More Staff 

Gate areas get cleaned between arrivals and baggage claim gets scrubbed multiple times per shift. Higher cleaning frequency without additional labor costs.

Compliance Records Without Paperwork 

Route, area covered, duration, and flagged zones are logged automatically. Digital cleaning logs are audit-ready with no paperwork and nothing to chase down. 

Floor Care Costs Stay Fixed 

No overtime rates, no sick day replacements, no unexpected turnover costs. The same fixed floor care cost runs every month without variation or budget surprises.

Your Team Works Where Needed 

Floor scrubbing runs on its own. Your cleaning staff handles restrooms, high-touch surfaces, spill response, and passenger-facing tasks that need human attention.

Passengers Notice the Difference 

Airports running robotic floor cleaning programs consistently receive unsolicited passenger feedback citing cleanliness and hygiene standards as a standout part of their experience. 

More Coverage Without More Staff 

Gate areas get cleaned between every arrival and baggage claim gets scrubbed multiple times per shift. Higher cleaning frequency is delivered without additional labor costs.

Technical Capabilities for Airport-Grade Robotic Floor Cleaning 

Built for the demands of active airport environments, our autonomous cleaning robot combines AI-powered floor care, precision navigation, and multi-level operation in one commercial-grade unit.

Cleaning Performance

4-in-1 Autonomous Cleaning

Sweeps, scrubs, vacuums, and mops every terminal zone in one autonomous unit without manual mode switching.

500mm Single-Pass Coverage

Covers a 500mm cleaning path per pass, reducing runs needed to clear terminal corridors, gate areas, and baggage claim zones.

Separate 15L Water Tanks

Keeps clean and dirty water fully separate for longer scrubbing cycles without mid-cycle refills or manual tank changes.

Navigation & Safety

Visual SLAM + LiDAR Navigation

Maps terminal environments using Visual SLAM and LiDAR SLAM, rerouting around passengers, luggage, and obstructions in real time.

AI Real-Time Performance Detection

Monitors and corrects cleaning quality across every terminal zone and floor type on every cycle.

Auto Recharge and Resume

The CC1 returns to its dock when battery is low, recharges within 3 hours, and resumes its cleaning route without staff intervention.

Enterprise Features

Safety & Compliance

IEC 63327 certified to meet international robotic cleaning safety and performance standards.

Low Noise Operation

Sub-70dB operating noise ensures quiet cleaning in active terminals and lounges.

Wet Floor Operation

Designed for continuous wet scrubbing and mopping across terminal floors, operating safely through spills and moisture without stopping.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it safe to run in terminals during passenger hours?
Yes. At under 70dB, the robot uses lidar, depth cameras, and infrared sensors to navigate around passengers and staff in real time without interrupting terminal operations or creating safety risks.
Which airport floor surfaces does it clean?
Marble, tile, terrazzo, PVC, and epoxy resin. The Carpet Vacuuming Assembly extends coverage to short-pile carpet in lounges and gate seating areas.
How does it clean across multiple terminal levels?
The Elevator Control Module allows the robot to call elevators, transition between floors, and resume cleaning independently. One cycle covers the full terminal from departures to baggage claim.
How are restricted security zones handled?
Restricted areas are programmed as exclusion zones during initial facility mapping. Boundaries update whenever terminal layouts or security configurations change.
What compliance records does it produce?
Every cycle generates a digital report covering route, area covered, duration, and flagged zones. Records are audit-ready and accessible in real time through the cloud dashboard.
What does service and support look like across Canada?
Year one is covered under full warranty. An ongoing maintenance contract covers parts and labor. Remote diagnostics resolve most issues without a site visit. On-site service is available nationwide.
