GENERAL OBSERVATIONS

Our Findings

What “The Biggest Fleet 2025” teaches us.

On our way to the 2025 ranking for cleaning robot fleets, we made hundreds of phone calls, wrote even more e-mails, and sent a research team to look into the media coverage. In addition to the hard facts of the fleet table, we learned a lot about our industry, the status quo of robotics, and prospects during the process.
