How CCEP Deutschland in Knetzgau, Germany, keeps 2,000 m² of warehouse floor autonomously clean — despite 24/6 operations, intensive forklift traffic and a structural shortage of cleaning staff in logistics.

The challenge

High standards, 24 hours a day, but no staff available.

The distribution centre of Coca-Cola Europacific Partners (CCEP) in Knetzgau, Germany, operates on a 24/6 shift schedule. Forklift traffic is intensive and continuous — resulting in a permanent build-up of dust, pallet debris and floor residue across a 2,000 m² floor surface.

Manual cleaning in that environment is dangerous, labour-intensive and costly. Moreover, the logistics sector in Germany, as across Europe, faces a structural shortage of cleaning staff. The need for an autonomous solution was urgent.

  • 🏭
    24/6 operations with forklift traffic
    The warehouse never stops. Traditional cleaning crews cannot work alongside active forklift traffic — robot alternatives can.
  • 👷
    Staff shortage in European logistics
    All of Europe is facing a shortage of logistics and cleaning staff. In Germany, staff turnover in warehouses is particularly high.
  • 💸
    Rising cleaning costs
    Manual cleaning of 2,000 m² per day, 6 days a week, represents substantial labour costs that increase every year.

The solution

Two Gausium robots. Every corner covered.

Implementation partner mR Mobile Robots GmbH deployed two complementary Gausium robots: the Gausium Beetle for narrow aisles and hard-to-reach corners, and the Gausium Scrubber 75 for large floor areas. Together they cover the entire warehouse — autonomously, outside working hours.

🪲
Gausium Beetle — compact & agile
The Beetle is specially designed for narrow aisles and busy environments. It navigates independently between pallets and racks, vacuuming dust and fine particles with high precision.
🟦
Gausium Scrubber 75 — large surfaces
With a cleaning width of 750 mm, the Scrubber 75 scrubs large warehouse zones at high speed. Large water and waste tanks allow longer autonomous sessions without intervention.
🌙
Off-peak cleaning — zero disruption
The robots work autonomously at weekends and outside working hours — precisely when the warehouse is at rest. No conflict with forklift operations, no safety risks.
🧠
AI navigation with multi-sensor technology
LiDAR, 3D cameras and ultrasonic sensors work together for safe navigation in dynamic warehouse environments — even with changing pallet configurations and obstacles.
☁️
Cloud platform & remote scheduling
Managers schedule cleaning sessions, view task reports and make adjustments — all via a central cloud interface. No physical presence required for daily management.
🤝
Human-robot collaboration
The robots are certified safe for environments with forklift traffic. CCEP is actively testing expansion to human-robot collaboration during active shifts.

Looking ahead

Expansion to more robots and human-robot collaboration.

CCEP is planning further automation of the warehouse in Knetzgau, with additional cleaning robots and further tests of human-robot collaboration during active shifts. The results in Germany prove that autonomous cleaning scales in logistics environments.

Belgian logistics companies face exactly the same challenges: staff shortages, rising costs and high cleaning standards in active warehouses. RoboCorpus guides you from pilot project to full fleet deployment, with local expertise and support.
