AI delivers significant benefits for your customers. It is a core part of the latest robot generations and an integral element of the FieldBots fleet management platform. We explain where AI already creates real, measurable value today.
We believe in the BALPEX vision: together, we are stronger. That’s why we actively support our dealers at every stage — from initial test rollouts and expectation management with customers to sales enablement and hands-on training for FieldBots Fleet Management. Whether you are just getting started with microbots or scaling larger deployments, we support you in building confidence, closing deals, and ensuring long-term customer success.
Seeing, understanding, and navigating complex environments
Modern cleaning robots rely on embedded AI to operate safely and efficiently in real-world environments. Artificial intelligence enables object recognition, dynamic obstacle avoidance, intelligent mapping, and in some cases dirt detection, allowing robots to react to changing surroundings instead of following rigid paths.
Leading manufacturers such as Pudu Robotics and Gausium have established AI as a core part of their robotic platforms. Their robots combine LiDAR, cameras, and sensor fusion with AI algorithms to detect people, furniture, and temporary obstacles in real time. This allows them to adapt routes dynamically, reduce interruptions, and operate reliably in busy environments such as hospitals, universities, airports, and commercial buildings.
The ZACO X1000 brings AI-driven navigation and obstacle recognition into a highly cost-efficient microbot format. By combining LiDAR, cameras, and AI-based perception, the X1000 is able to detect people, furniture, and unexpected obstacles and adjust its path accordingly.
While AI inside the robot enables autonomous cleaning, true operational intelligence happens at fleet level. FieldBots Intelligence adds an AI layer above individual robots, transforming autonomous machines into a coordinated, data-driven cleaning operation.
By analyzing fleet-wide data — including cleaning runs, coverage, energy usage, consumables, and performance trends — FieldBots Intelligence helps operators move from reactive management to data-driven optimization. AI-supported insights highlight inefficiencies, detect abnormal behavior early, and support smarter scheduling and resource allocation.
With physical, big data, and agentic intelligence at your fingertips, and delivery, utilization, and sustainability reports covering all relevant dimensions of fleet performance, you gain a solid foundation for informed, strategic fleet expansion. Crowdsourced benchmarks place your results in a broader market context, while live calculations with flexible filtering allow you to explore scenarios and decisions in real time, based on the full depth of your operational data.
With the release of FieldBots 6.0, we’re opening an entirely new chapter in fleet operations. Watch our CEO, Alexander Feil, as he walks you through the powerful new tools that await FieldBots users and explains how FieldBots Intelligence is changing the way robotic fleets are managed.
