Traditional commercial cleaning has long relied on intensive manual labor. With an aging workforce and rising labor costs, the industry is under increasing pressure. At the same time, risks from night operations, inconsistent cleaning quality, high-traffic environments, complex flooring materials, and limited operating hours make traditional methods difficult to sustain. The design philosophy of the Zhiranda V5 Intelligent Cleaning Robot is not to replace people, but to empower them. By leveraging intelligent technologies, the V5 drives a shift “from labor substitution to value enhancement,” delivering smarter cleaning solutions and fostering new productive forces. With fully automated path planning and an auto-replenishment system, the V5 frees cleaning staff from repetitive tasks, transforming them into “robot supervisors” and elevating the value of human work. Equipped with ultrasonic radar, depth cameras, and 3D vision fusion navigation, the V5 can perform “seamless cleaning during business hours,” breaking the long-standing dependence on late-night cleaning schedules. Through a cloud-based management platform, the V5 generates real-time cleaning heat maps that make invisible services visible. This allows managers to transition from experience-driven decisions to data-driven insights. The V5 is designed not for people to adapt to machines, but for machines to understand human needs. A lowered center of gravity reduces transport risks, while a rounded ABS shell prevents accidental scratches. The use of recyclable, lightweight materials makes the robot safer, more user-friendly, and easier to service. Powered by a 24V/60Ah battery and a 72L clean/dirty water tank, the V5 provides up to 3 hours of scrubbing and 6–8 hours of dust-mopping. Its minimalist interface ensures easy operation, even for older cleaning staff. Multi-mode intelligent path planning, scheduled tasks, missed-spot re-cleaning, and automatic water refill/discharge further enhance efficiency, while an operating noise level of ≤70dB significantly improves the work environment. The V5 offers comprehensive device visualization and map-based views, giving managers a clear overview of equipment distribution and status. Real-time monitoring covers operating conditions, connectivity, and performance metrics, with automatic alerts for faults or anomalies. Its AI-powered self-learning and decision-making system continuously optimizes cleaning routes and strategies, while IoT integration allows remote management via app or cloud platform.
