Teaching a New Cleaning Route
 Planning a Cleaning Route
Teach a route that will allow the cleaning area to be cleaned the most optimally and efficiently, taking into consideration its layout
and size (area).
 During autonomous cleaning, the machine will operate at a relatively low speed for safety.
 Time from start to completion of autonomous cleaning will be longer than the time required to teach the cleaning route.
Consider how long the battery will last when teaching a cleaning route.
 Planning the Space and Frequency
It is also important to consider the environment of the cleaning area when planning a cleaning route. For example, teaching cleaning
routes individually for an area that is cleaned every day (entrance or lobby to a building, corridor where people are always walking)
and for a low-cleaning-frequency area only cleaned several times a month allows more effective cleaning.
When planning cleaning for a long route, check that the battery is fully charged beforehand, and take into consideration how long the
machine will operate.
 Several Areas of Differing Types
In some instances, such as in offices and schools, it is not possible to easily divide a space into cleaning zones. You should
therefore check the entire cleaning area beforehand, and plan a route so that the machine can easily complete cleaning in a logical
and predictable sequence.
For example, in an instance where there are several buildings to be cleaned or where there are several structures to one building
(college campus, etc.), using a different Home Location Code for each floor and each structure will allow a machine to start/stop
near a space where cleaning is carried out, and enable long traverses to be avoided. It is recommended to divide a cleaning area
into smaller zones for easier cleaning and management where locations are spacious or have a special layout.
