The challenge

High hygiene standards in busy hospital corridors, without extra staff.

The Álvaro Cunqueiro hospital in Vigo, Spain, is one of the largest and most modern hospitals in Galicia. The central corridors and public lobbies are in continuous use by patients, visitors and healthcare staff — creating an uninterrupted cleaning requirement.

Acciona Facility Services, responsible for the hospital's facility operations, faced the typical challenge in European healthcare: higher hospital hygiene requirements, rising labour costs and a shortage of cleaning staff. Manual cleaning alone was no longer sufficient.

  • 🏥
    Continuous use of corridors and lobbies
    A hospital never stops. Corridors are in use day and night — cleaning must take place discreetly, quietly and safely alongside patients and healthcare providers.
  • 🦠
    Strict hygiene standards in care environments
    Hospitals apply the strictest cleaning standards of any sector. Inconsistency in cleaning quality is not an option in an environment where hygiene is life-critical.
  • 👷
    Staff shortages in healthcare facilities
    Across Europe, hospitals are struggling with a shortage of facility management staff. Robots offer a structural solution — not just a temporary fix.

The solution

Two Gausium Phantas. Human-robot collaboration as a model.

Darlim, the official Gausium distributor in Spain (40+ years of experience, €27M turnover, 6,000+ active clients), implemented two Gausium Phantas units in the corridors and lobbies of the Álvaro Cunqueiro hospital. The model is intentional: the robots take over repetitive floor scrubbing, while staff focus on specialised tasks such as surface disinfection and window cleaning.

🤝
Human-robot collaboration
The robots take over repetitive floor scrubbing. Hospital staff focus on specialised tasks — disinfection of surfaces, sanitary areas, medical equipment. Better task allocation, higher overall quality.
🔇
Quiet and discreet — suitable for healthcare
The Gausium Phantas is designed for environments that require discretion. Compact, quiet-running and with soft lighting — no disruption to patients or sleeping wards.
🎯
AI Spot Cleaning in high-traffic zones
The Phantas automatically detects heavily soiled zones — entrance doors, waiting areas, lift arrivals — and increases cleaning intensity precisely there. Up to 400% more efficient in peak zones.
🔄
Edge-to-edge cleaning
The Phantas cleans to the edges of corridors and lobbies — including along walls and in corners that manual cleaning often misses. Full coverage, every session.
🔌
Autonomous docking and charging
The Phantas automatically returns to the charging station (CD-04 dock) when the battery is low or after a completed session. No staff needed for repositioning or charging.
📱
Remote scheduling & reporting
Acciona manages both robots via a central app: schedule cleaning sessions, review coverage reports and make adjustments — also remotely from the operations centre.

Looking ahead

Autonomous cleaning as the standard in European hospitals.

From Vigo to Brussels — European hospitals and healthcare facilities face identical challenges: rising hygiene requirements, staff shortages and cost management. The Acciona Facility Services model proves that human-robot collaboration is the solution: not robots as a replacement for staff, but as reinforcement.
