The challenge

Metal shavings and industrial debris. No ordinary floor, no ordinary robot.

TZU Lienz is an Austrian company active in mechanical production. The production hall generates metal shavings, sharp particles and industrial dust every day — waste that coats the floor and poses a risk to both workers and machines. Standard cleaning robots were unable to handle this type of dirt.

The existing external cleaning company was not delivering sufficient results. Floor conditions change daily depending on the production schedule. TZU Lienz tested three different robots before making the right choice.

  • ⚙️
    Metal shavings and sharp particles
    Traditional cleaning robots with sponge brushes cannot withstand sharp metal particles. They quickly become damaged or push the dirt aside without picking it up.
  • 🔄
    Variable floor conditions day to day
    The production hall looks different every day: machines are moved, new workstations are set up. The robot must be able to handle a dynamic environment without reinstallation.
  • 🏢
    External cleaning firm fell short
    TZU Lienz could not find an adequate external cleaning partner for the specific dirt in their production hall. An autonomous solution was the only viable way forward.

The solution

Scrubber 50 with roller brush. The only one that can handle it.

After thoroughly testing three competing robot models, TZU Lienz chose the Gausium Scrubber 50 with roller brush system. The roller brush is specifically designed for hard industrial floors with coarse dirt: it lifts metal shavings and sharp particles instead of pushing them aside. CEO Karl Unterweger: "no other robot can handle the type of dirt and debris in the production area like the Scrubber 50 manages."

🔩
Roller brush for industrial dirt
The Scrubber 50 is fitted with a roller brush that effectively picks up metal shavings, sharp particles and industrial dust — without damaging itself. Three competitors failed to do this.
🤖
AI navigation in complex production environments
The Scrubber 50 navigates autonomously around machines, pallets and workstations. Obstacle detection via LiDAR and cameras ensures safe navigation, even in a daily-changing production hall.
🏆
Chosen after comparative testing
TZU Lienz tested three robots side by side in their production hall. The Scrubber 50 won on all fronts: cleaning performance on industrial dirt, navigation capability and ease of use.
💸
No external cleaning firm needed anymore
The Scrubber 50 completely replaces the external cleaning partner. TZU Lienz structurally saves on subcontracting costs, while cleaning quality is higher and more consistent than before.
🔧
Less wear on production equipment
By consistently keeping the floor free of metal shavings, TZU Lienz reduces wear on tools and machine components that would otherwise come into contact with floor debris.
📅
Deployable daily, even with production changes
Thanks to flexible map building and replanning functionality, the Scrubber 50 adapts to daily changes in the production hall. No reinstallation required when machines are moved.

Looking ahead

Autonomous cleaning as the standard in European industry.

TZU Lienz demonstrates that autonomous floor cleaning works even in the most demanding industrial environments. Where standard robots fail on metal shavings and coarse industrial dirt, the Scrubber 50 delivers top quality — every day, without supervision. From Lienz to Liège, from mechanical engineering to the food processing industry.
