The last stretch of floor still matters
If you have used a commercial floor robot, you may recognise the challenge: open areas are cleaned efficiently, but a person still follows with a mop or vacuum to finish around edges, corners and furniture.
Think of it as the “90/10 rule” of robotic cleaning — a useful illustration of the gap between open-floor coverage and detailed cleaning, rather than a measured percentage that applies to every site.
Clearance around walls and displays can leave a strip of dust or grime. When staff spend time finishing the areas a robot misses, the practical value of automation depends on how much of that follow-up work can be reduced.
How Phantas helps close the clutter and edge gap
Gausium Phantas takes a compact approach. Its four cleaning modes — vacuuming, sweeping, scrubbing and dust mopping — support different floor types and cleaning tasks within the same facility.
01 / Cleaning closer to the edge
With its side brush and precision sensors, Phantas is designed for zero-distance edge cleaning. Gausium lists an edge-cleaning capability of 0 mm, helping it collect debris along walls and fixtures. Actual coverage depends on the surface, layout and selected cleaning mode.
02 / Reaching tighter spaces
Phantas measures 445 mm wide and 619 mm tall, with a specified minimum passage width and height of 650 mm. That compact footprint helps it access narrow aisles and suitable under-table areas. Checking the actual clearance around chairs, desks and other obstacles is still part of planning a successful deployment.
03 / Responding to dirt with intelligence
AI-powered recognition and spot-cleaning capabilities help Phantas respond to detected dirt and obstacles. The aim is to direct cleaning effort where it is needed, rather than relying solely on repeated coverage of open areas. Available functions depend on the model and configuration, so we demonstrate the relevant capabilities at your site.
Give your team time for the work that needs people
A robot earns its place when it reduces repetitive floor-cleaning work. Better access to edges and cluttered areas can help your team spend more time on washroom hygiene, detailed cleaning and customer-facing tasks.
The best next step is a practical trial: agree the areas to clean, measure the result and record how much manual follow-up remains. Our Australian team can assess your layout and help you decide whether Phantas fits the way your facility operates.
