Hygiene rules
HACCP requires a complete record of every clean that inspectors can follow.
Industry solution · Supermarkets
Clean sales floors, kept up even during opening hours.
Grocery retail needs spotless hygiene while cleaning staff get harder to hire. An autonomous scrubber runs the sales floor on schedule, quietly among shoppers, and logs every pass. werob picks the right robot vendor-neutrally and runs it for its whole life.
Industry solution · Supermarkets
Hygiene shoppers notice, without disrupting trade.
A supermarket with around 1,200 square metres of sales floor collects hundreds of spills a day: drinks, broken glass, mud on rainy days. Cleaning during opening hours disrupts the shopper flow; cleaning at night runs up overtime. Autonomous cleaning robots resolve that trade-off. They work quietly and safely among shoppers, hold a fixed cleaning cadence, and log every pass for HACCP audits. The result is consistent cleanliness without staffing gaps and predictable costs without night premiums.
Challenges in grocery retail
Long opening hours
From early to late there is barely a window for a thorough clean without shoppers present.
Staff shortage
Cleaners for early and late shifts are hard to find, and turnover and sick days open gaps.
Constant spills
Spilt milk, broken glass and mud appear continuously and have to be dealt with at once.

Common questions
- Can the robot clean during opening hours?
- Yes. Retail cleaning robots are built to run with shoppers present and work quietly, often under 55 decibels. The navigation recognises people and trolleys and steers around them, so you can clean even at peak times without disrupting the shopping flow.
- How does the HACCP documentation work?
- The robot logs every cleaning run with date, time and cleaned area. Those records can be exported, so at an audit the documentation is available at the touch of a button rather than missing from a clipboard.
- From what store size is a cleaning robot worthwhile?
- It typically makes sense from around 800 square metres of sales floor. werob checks your actual floor and cadence in the spec and tells you plainly from what point the robot pays for your store.
- Who handles maintenance and wear parts?
- werob runs the robot for its whole life. Brushes, filters, software updates and maintenance run centrally through one point of contact, with no manufacturer hotlines. The robot stays ready without your team spending time on it.
Cleaning is a newly available werob solution. Hardware and cadence are representative; per-site scope and economics are set in your spec.
