"Robo-Cleaners" for Window Cleaning in High-Rise Buildings
Science and technology have brought window cleaning to a whole new level. Robots are now created to clean windows particularly in unique architectural buildings such as in Dubai. These robotic window cleaners are known as Gekko and Clean Ant. These mechanical cleaners are able to work at a speed akin to the wind. No human can ever achieve this nor will it be safe to do so. To base one’s conclusion on over-all performance, operating expenses and availiability, these robots are sure winners as the most ideal window cleaning service providers.
The most advantage that robots have on their human counterparts is obviously the speed of cleaning. Gekko is able to clean at the rate of 400 square meters per hour. This is about 15 times faster than human cleaning. Because of its speed, robot window cleaners are more likely to find a niche in high-rise nuilding cleaning market as well as in the upkeep of photovaltic modules and solar panels. In cleaning the latter, there will be no need to perform the necessary cleaning task at night on inclined panels where it can be tricky to move around. Cleaning the solar panels and eliminating the leaves, pollen, sand and dust will make them much more efficient.
The robots are also designed not just for speed but for a thorough and efficient cleaning. It attaches itself to the any kind of surfaces, either horizontal, vertical or slanting, using a vacuum power. Then it brushes the surface with a wiper similar to a windshield, effectively removing all traces of dirt on the glass surface.
The new cleaning technology is seen as most needed and effective in the United Arab Emirates, with its skyscrapers and many architectural wonders posing a great challenge to conventional window cleaning companies.
Furthermore, the “robo-cleaners’ also follow an environment-friendly cleaning regimen by not using detergent. The robots can make use of dry ice, deioinized water or water with certain enzymes that will break down the oils. They will also recycle the used water by filtering it with a special built-in mechanism. No harsh chemicals in detergents and lesser waste of water are the robo-cleaners contribution to a green window cleaning technology.
