The main challenge in cleaning inaccessible facades is to maintain not only the accessibility, but also the quality of work. The use of robots to clean glass, aluminium and mosaic facades is required where conventional crane-gondola systems cannot work on one hand, and where these conventional systems become financially unfeasible on the other hand. Serbot Services, an international developer and manufacturer of custom and standard products for the maintenance of outer and/or inner facades, is therefore set to officially launch its Serbot Robot Climbing system which is said to automatically clean windows, facades and solar panels.
Set to be the first ever global launch for robot cleaning systems, the launch of this revolutionary 21st century window and facade cleaning system is slated for 28 January 2010, at the Intercontinental Hotel in Dubai Festival City.
During the launch, there is scheduled to be a press conference, and thereafter a presentation will be made about the machine and its techniques. There will also be a live demonstration on the façade of Intercontinental Hotel, on how the Serbot Robot works.
Manufactured by Swiss-based Serbot AG, this robot is a cleaning solution for flat and disposed surfaces of high-rise buildings and combines all the requisite components such as robot engineering, cleaning engineering, and fall arrester system and media supply in one complete system. It can be used on a wide variety of facades and does not require any devices such as guide rails. This robot is also able to work at wind speeds that would prohibit manual cleaning, for safety reasons.
