BUILT AROUND YOUR SPACE
Workspace & office
auto cleaning solutions.
Plan dependable floor care around employees, meeting rooms and shared workplace spaces.
01 / THE CHALLENGE
Challenges Facing Workspace Facilities
Flexible layouts
Review routes when desks or shared spaces move.
Tenant expectations
Define the presentation standard for foyers and shared floors.
Budget clarity
Compare staff involvement and running costs across a normal working week.
02 / YOUR ENVIRONMENT
Characteristics of Workspace Scenarios
Offices bring together desks, carpet, flexible layouts and quiet working areas. Multi-storey access may also influence deployment.
- Reception: review arrivals and hard-floor care.
- Workstations: check furniture clearance and loose cables.
- Meeting rooms: plan around bookings.
- Shared kitchens: distinguish routine floor care from spill response.
03 / A PRACTICAL CLEANING PLAN
How Gausium’s autonomous cleaners can help
A repeatable routine
Assign recurring floor tasks to a defined schedule.
Match the task to the floor
Use the right cleaning mode for carpet and hard floors.
Support your cleaning team
Keep staff focused on desks, touchpoints and exception handling.
Validate the result
Agree the cleaning area, completion window and inspection criteria before a trial. Record interventions and service time as well as floor coverage.
Confirm routes, cleaning methods and access arrangements during a site assessment. Configuration, accessories and available operating time affect the final recommendation.
COMPARE YOUR CLEANING OPTIONS
Automated vs traditional workspace cleaning
Compare the people time and operating costs needed to deliver the same cleaning scope and standard. Adjust the assumptions to reflect your facility.
Illustrative planning example — not a quote or measured customer result. The starting figures below are assumptions, not Gausium prices or guaranteed performance. Validate the cleaning schedule and staff involvement through an onsite trial.
Fixed planning assumptions: 30 minutes of staff support per cleaning day and AUD 3,500 in annual robot non-labour operating costs. Robot support time includes preparation, emptying, refilling, routine checks and manual touch-ups. Non-labour costs should include maintenance, consumables, energy and any recurring fees. Net upfront investment includes equipment and deployment, less any avoided traditional equipment purchase. Use a consistent GST basis.
Please enter valid non-negative values within the displayed limits; cleaning days and traditional hours must be greater than zero.

| Annual comparison | Traditional cleaning | Automated cleaning |
|---|---|---|
| People time | 1,200 h | 150 h |
| Labour cost | A$48,000 | A$6,000 |
| Non-labour operating costs | A$0 | A$3,500 |
| Total operating cost | A$48,000 | A$9,500 |
How to interpret the comparison
Labour efficiency: hours released = (traditional daily labour − robot support labour) × cleaning days. The percentage shows the reduction in direct labour time, not a claim that the robot cleans the floor faster.
Annual saving: traditional labour and running costs minus robot support labour and running costs. Released time becomes a cash saving only when paid hours, overtime or contractor spend actually fall; otherwise it is capacity that can be reassigned.
Payback: net upfront investment divided by positive annual operating savings. This simple comparison excludes finance costs, depreciation, tax and residual value. It is not a full investment appraisal. Negative savings mean the assumed deployment costs more to operate.
Check the cleaning outcome: compare actual coverage, task completion, floor cleanliness and human interventions during a trial. Robot runtime, charging and servicing must fit the available cleaning window.
