Placing Faith in Robotics
Cleaning your business should absolutely not be a daunting challenge. With the right set of tools and a solid understanding, curating the perfect program can be as simple and satisfying as pie. Being aware of the common stumbling blocks and knowing exactly where to acquire the right tools will serve as the keystone to achieving your ultimate success. Including a robotic feature is just a wise choice.
Adding a CC1 to your facility is the right choice!
I was asked recently what I thought of the new CC1 robot, which you can see in the image below for a helpful visual reference. However, before we dive into the detailed review of its features and performance, let's take a moment to discuss why you might want to consider incorporating a robot into your cleaning routine. Additionally, we'll explore how you can effectively integrate one of these innovative tools into your existing cleaning program for optimal results.

Wayback Machine Time
Let’s take a nostalgic trip in the “go back machine” to the year 1959, a time rich with significant events that would ultimately cloud the spotlight on the groundbreaking introduction of automation in the workplace. In 1959, General Motors made history by installing the very first prototype of Unimate #001 at its Trenton, New Jersey plant. This impressive robot, weighing a remarkable 2,700 pounds, was primarily tasked with die casting—a pioneering moment in industrial automation that would pave the way for future innovations. The Original Unimate (Michigan Tech) marked an important milestone for manufacturing technology. Alongside these technological advances, the year was marked by several notable events: the tragic death of rock-and-roll star Buddy Holly, Cuba was on the brink of tension, poised as if ready to ignite the flames of World War III, and Alaska and Hawaii officially became states. Furthermore, it was in this tumultuous year that the heartbreaking reality of soldiers beginning to lose their lives in Vietnam unfolded.
And Now!
Fast forward to the present day, and we find ourselves in a fascinating era where the topic of robotic conversation and advanced technology is now widely discussed and extensively explored across various sectors. These sectors include manufacturers, hospitals, schools, science laboratories, and even the ever-evolving cleaning industry. It is specifically within this intriguing realm of cleaning that we will choose to concentrate our attention. Robotics in the cleaning industry is currently standing at a critical juncture, teetering precariously on the edge of either full-fledged acceptance or outright denial of its significance in our everyday operations. As we navigate this complex landscape, there are two crucial factors that need to be taken into serious account; the potential for employee displacement, which raises valid concerns, and the increased efficiency of the cleaning processes that robotics are meticulously designed to enhance.
Two very serious concerns:
Employee displacement - a term that has been specifically utilized instead of the more traditional words fired or laid off - arose from the growing perception surrounding the replacement of low-income workers with advanced tools and technology. This issue is not a new concern; in fact, it has been increasingly relevant as numerous processes and tools are becoming more thoughtfully designed with the intention of making the work environment safer, more efficient, and ultimately more usable for both workers and employers alike.
Increased efficiency - dialing in a cleaning contract can be quite tough and demanding work. Most times, each company is underbidding each other just to get their foot in the door, which ultimately decreases the perceived value of the company down to a mere commodity instead of a valued service that clients truly appreciate. That efficiency is often measured through an employee comparison based on missed work or inconsistent work performance. In this particular situation, the cobotics, such as CeCe 1, have the remarkable capability to share what was accomplished directly with the supervisor, allowing them to feel less guilty for asking for updates and promoting a smoother communication dynamic.
CC1, or CeCe” for short,
Is an advanced robot cleaner taking care of your cleaning chores so you can focus on what truly matters—spending time with clients.

Take the first step towards effortless cleaning—your business deserves it!
The Fear
The first fear that often arises is the employee displacement factor concerning the existing crew you currently have in place. Whether you are the client who genuinely cares for the contracted cleaners in your building or the contractor who is understandably hesitant to let go of any employees simply because you purchased this new robot, it can create a difficult situation. I’ve personally experienced these kinds of dilemmas where it feels like it has to be one or the other, and frankly, it shouldn’t have to be a choice at all. This is ultimately an investment in your facility that could yield significant long-term benefits. For instance, consider that over 1 million reported emergency room visits were categorized under “slips and falls,” in 2023, which account for a staggering 12% of all ER visits. The statistics show that the leading cause of these slips, trips, and falls are uneven or wet surfaces, which contribute to a hefty 55% of these incidents (smithlawcenter.com). This makes maintaining floors a crucial component in determining your business's insurance rating and overall safety standards.
Just one claim on you insurance pays for this investment. Sit down with your COO or Head HR person and find that information on your slips, trips, and falls, claims numbers.
The Anxiety
The second fear that often arises is the possibility that your employees might feel threatened and experience heightened anxiety due to the ever-increasing presence of technology in the workplace. From a business perspective, addressing this concern head-on, implementing comprehensive training should be prioritized as the essential first step in the process. One notable advantage of the CC1 is its remarkable ease of operation, which will make it much simpler for employees to understand and utilize. Given that the operation is straightforward and easily trainable, the next concern for your employees will likely revolve around assigning someone to use this new tool effectively. By adding a level of responsibility to a cleaner's workday, it not only enhances their role but also demonstrates that the organization values their contributions. This intentional focus on empowering employees is essentially prepping them for more significant opportunities in the future. Furthermore, when an individual is held accountable for specific tasks, the overall quality of the work consistently improves. I recommend selecting an employee who has a genuine desire to please clients, as this mindset will be crucial before they even begin the learning process of the technology.
The detailed and personal approach to satisfying clients will undoubtedly outshine any capabilities of the robot; this individual will embrace the CC1 as a valuable tool to further enhance contract satisfaction and foster stronger client relationships.
The Fun
The fun part has truly been customizing these innovative robots to seamlessly fit the unique area they serve. For instance, one memorable occasion involved us adorning our robot with a vibrant ID badge, while other enthusiastic users decided to wrap theirs in a team-themed design to celebrate some spirited camaraderie. Embrace the excitement that comes with these additions! Enjoy the benefits of reduced insurance claims that follow. Have a great time working alongside the dedicated cleaning crews. Integrating today’s advanced cleaning methods with techniques from yesterday can be both exciting and incredibly fun, creating a delightful blend of the old and new.
Embrace a new level of responsibility in your business by incorporating a cleaning robot into your cleaning program. These intelligent devices take the burden of time wasting cleaning tsks off your shoulders, allowing you to focus on what truly matters—your business. With advanced sensors and mapping technology, a cleaning robot navigates your space efficiently, reaching under furniture and tackling dirt in those hard-to-reach areas. You'll not only save time and energy, but you'll also cultivate a cleaner, healthier environment for everyone. Elevate your cleaning routine and enjoy peace of mind knowing that you've made a smart, responsible choice for your home.
