UAE-based multi-award-winning integrated facilities management (FM) provider Emrill has entered into a partnership with Dubai Festival City Mall to launch its first sustainable cleaning robot for a retail environment.

LeoMop, the latest edition to Emrill’s cleaning fleet, is the first smart, sustainable cleaning robot to be utilized by the company in the delivery of high-quality cleaning services, with the commencement of operations at Dubai Festival City Mall.

The robot, powered by Active AI, utilizes advanced technology to optimize cleaning efficiency in enclosed areas while ensuring eco-friendly and safe operations.

Emrill purchased LeoMop from Hygiene Tech, a leading smart cleaning equipment, and hygiene solutions supplier. The robot, developed by Singapore-based LionsBot, uses innovative technologies to enable more advanced cleaning in commercial properties.

LeoMop provides cost-saving strategies for businesses by providing efficiencies compared to human-intensive cleaning workforces and can operate for up to 20 hours per day.

“LeoMop is incredibly advanced, utilizing safety features such as multiple sensors that enable it to auto-adjust its traveling speed to avoid obstacles while still being able to clean tighter and hard-to-reach spaces. While we initially utilize LeoMop to clean during the late hours when the mall is closed, we are exploring the potential of operating it during the mall’s trading hours. Due to the robot’s safety features and aesthetically pleasing appearance, we are confident LeoMop could be used without causing any disruption to the mall’s patrons. This is the first robot we have launched in a commercial area and we are excited to introduce more sustainable robots to our fleet in the future where we feel they will provide service delivery and quality benefits to our clients.”

The company said that the silent cleaning robot uses 70 percent less water compared to other models available in the market. It also leaves the floors drier after mopping, making it safer for high foot-traffic areas that Emrill services, such as malls, due to its Active-DryTec capability for stronger water extraction.

Utilizing advanced AI technology, LeoMop is operated via a dedicated mobile app and enables time efficiencies through intelligent mapping of areas that need to be serviced.

“LeoMop also self-learns with every activation to improve scheduling and offers high-productivity results to businesses with real-time updates, notifications, and detailed reports provided via the app,” the company said.

Mr. Hayssam Hajjar, General Manager of Al-Futtaim Malls UAE, commented that, “Our partnership with Emrill propels us to the next stage of our innovation strategy which leads to a more sustainable outcome. At Al-Futtaim Malls, we truly believe technology is the way forward to improve both environmental sustainability and operational efficiency. It has the unique ability to monitor and manage energy, water, chemicals, and wastage of resources, which is imperative for our environment.”

“The launch of LeoMop is the latest addition to Emrill’s ongoing sustainability and digitalization efforts. We are proud to have partnered with Emrill and Al-Futtaim Malls on this joint venture and we are excited to have both esteemed companies taking the leap and believing in the future of cleaning, as we at Hygiene Tech perceive it,” noted Mr. Issam Hauranieh, CEO at Hygiene Tech.
