As part of my visits to the Middle Kingdom - China - I recently visited Kingxchip and shared with you Impressions of the JoyBee K2 robotic lawnmower. As someone interested in the highly exciting robotics industry, I came into contact with Rancho - who has since become a good friend. Rancho is co-founder of myRobotKits and Lazurec. His companies also sell innovative robotics products, so I decided to meet him at the headquarters in Shenzhen, China.
When I arrived at the office and factory building, I felt like I was in a Science fiction Movie: A white, autonomous cleaning robot quietly made its way across the empty marble floor. Rancho stood next to it, his face beaming with pride. He beckoned me over, laughing.
Reunion with Rancho - the creative technology nerd behind Lazurec
Rancho presented me with the new Lazurec C2 robot - his latest development, his baby. The Lazurec C2 is a modern, innovative cleaning robots for the commercial use represent.
When I first saw the C2, I was impressed because the appliance looks very futuristic: It's about waist-high, with a round base and a sleek design reminiscent of a cross between a modern floor cleaning machine and a large household robot. There is a small touch display at the top, a black sensor strip at the front and robust handles at the sides. You notice immediately: this is not a toy, but a Sophisticated cleaning professional.
Rancho tapped the device lovingly and explained to me enthusiastically:
May I introduce: Our C2! We want to revolutionize the way large areas are kept clean.
Rancho, Lazurec
I could hear and understand the passion in his voice. I, too, have already been taken in by my smart devices, such as my robot vacuum cleaner and my JoyBee K2 Robotic Lawn Mowerenthusiastic. I tried to imagine what else was possible, especially in commercial use...
Lazurec C2: Technology that inspires
Even before my meeting, I checked out the website of Lazurec about the C2 cleaning robot. Of course, I immediately wanted to know from Rancho what functions the C2 has. While the Lazurec C2 was doing its job and cleaning the floor perfectly (and hardly noticeably quietly), Rancho told me about the highlights:
Self-cleaning: The C2 cleans itself (mops, brushes, water tank)
Automatic recharging: After the work is done, the C2 automatically recharges its battery.
AI laser navigation for precise cleaning
Sensors for precise obstacle detection
Large water tanks with 10 liter capacity for long, effective cleaning
Versatile cleaning modes by vacuuming, brushing, mopping and drying
The functions remind me of my experiences with intelligent vacuum robotsbut go far beyond that. The Lazurec C2 can up to 2000 square meters autonomous cleaning - that's about as much as a large office floor or a supermarket. The C2 can be controlled via a App controlled, but also a Remote control is enclosed.
Don't worry, the Lazurec C2 won't ram shopping carts or office plants.
Rancho, Lazurec
Application scenarios in Germany: Where the C2 makes the difference
After Rancho had explained the technique to me, we got to talking: Where could the C2 be used in Germany and create real added value? We quickly had a whole list of Scenarios that demonstrate the potential of the technology in everyday life. Here are some of the most exciting application scenarios:
Shopping malls
Shiny floors and happy customers for a great shopping experience
Office building
Clean first impression and neat furnishings for focused work
Stations
24/7 cleanliness despite crowds for safety
Airports
Pleasant travel experience of the highest quality
Restaurants
Night-time cleaning saves costs for cleaning staff
Hotels
Perfectly cleaned reception area, lobby, restaurant, ...
Museums
Quiet cleaning, even during opening hours thanks to intelligent obstacle detection
Warehouses
Cleaning of warehouses and storage halls with intelligent route planning
Schools
Clean schools for a focus on education
My meeting with Rancho and the Lazurec C2 was an impressive demonstration of where the cleaning industry is heading. Autonomous cleaning robots like the C2 stand for a future in which cleanliness in public and commercial spaces becomes a matter of course - as a by-product of intelligent technology.
Lazurec may be a young company, but it combines the Engineering skills from Shenzhen - one of the most innovative tech hubs in the world - with an understanding of what customers worldwide need: Reliability, efficiency and real relief in everyday life.
Smart Cleaning for a Pure Tomorrow
Lazurec motto
After the meeting, I am convinced and full of hope that we will soon see more intelligent cleaning robots in Germany too. Not only do they counteract demographic change and the shortage of skilled workers - they also help to keep our society together and create a clean, simple world with a focus on the essentials.
