FLEET-SIZE PLANNER
Size the fleet around the work.
Compare one robot on priority zones with a larger fleet on your agreed cleaning scope. Every capacity assumption stays visible.
This is a capacity estimate, not a dispatch schedule or supplier guarantee. Use effective productivity from a representative trial. Published spot-cleaning and full-area rates are not interchangeable.
Model and cleaning mode
Changing the model or mode clears the productivity input. Enter a rate measured or conservatively assumed for that exact mode and scope.
Window and effective rate
The window is the time all robots may work concurrently. Repeat services are specified per zone below. Effective productivity should already reflect turns, obstacles and the selected cleaning mode.
Time outside cleaning
Enter the total docking, travel and preparation time each robot will need inside this window, including repeated dock visits. The reserve is then taken from the remaining time.
DEFINE THE AGREED SCOPE
Floors and zones
Priority zones are allocated to the single robot in the order shown. Larger-scope sizing includes every zone. A repeat service adds work without adding unique floor area.
Complete the cleaning window, productivity, overhead and every zone. Enter zero where an overhead does not apply.
Definitions, formulas and exclusions
Overhead per robot = docking and refill minutes + travel and floor-transfer minutes + preparation minutes. Enter total overhead within the selected window, including all planned dock visits.
Effective cleaning minutes = max(0, window minutes − overhead) × (1 − contingency percentage ÷ 100). Capacity per robot = effective productivity × effective cleaning minutes ÷ 60.
Service scope = sum of each zone area × services required in the window. Required fleet = service scope ÷ per-robot capacity, rounded up to the next whole robot. A window consumed by overhead is infeasible, regardless of robot count.
One-robot priority coverage allocates available capacity in the listed zone order. Shortfall is shown explicitly; selecting priority zones does not imply the remaining facility will be cleaned.
This capacity model assumes divisible work, concurrent access, compatible floor surfaces and a safe route for every robot. Check floor transfers, charging cycles, refill frequency, shared docking contention and unavailable zones during a site assessment.
The selected cleaning mode is part of the plan. A spot-cleaning rate must not be used to promise full-area coverage. No manufacturer maximum, battery runtime or predictive accuracy is silently assumed.
