Tennant Company hails growing adoption of robotic cleaning technology as it hits 10,000th sale milestone
Tennant Company reports that it has sold its 10,000th autonomous mobile robot (AMR).
It says that the milestone reflects growing adoption of robotic cleaning technology as organizations look to automation to drive consistency, efficiency, and performance across operations.
“Selling 10,000 robotic scrubbers is a major milestone - not just for us, but for robotic cleaning adoption overall,” says Dave Huml, President and CEO at Tennant Company, which has customers across various sectors including education. “It signals a clear shift with customers: we’ve moved past the wait and see era. Scalable robotic cleaning programs deliver real results, customers are choosing Tennant for robotic cleaning, and this is only the beginning.”
“Reaching this milestone is a testament to our continued focus on delivering innovation that’s both forward thinking and field proven,” says John Ickes, Director of Design and Innovation at Tennant Company. “Our AMR solutions aren’t just about new technology - they’re about helping customers solve real operational challenges with tools designed expressly for the scenarios they deal with on a day-to-day basis.”
2025 RTIH INNOVATION AWARDS
Robotics will be a key focus area at our sister title RTIH’s 2025 Innovation Awards.
The awards, which are now open for entries, celebrate global tech innovation in a fast moving omnichannel world.
Our 2024 hall of fame entrants were revealed during an event which took place at RIBA’s 66 Portland Place HQ in Central London on 21st November, and consisted of a drinks reception, three course meal, and awards ceremony presided over by comedian Lucy Porter.
In his welcome speech, Scott Thompson, Founder and Editor, RTIH, said: “The event is now into its sixth year and what a journey it has been. The awards started life as an online only affair during the Covid outbreak, before launching as a small scale in real life event and growing year on year to the point where we’re now selling out this fine, historic venue.”
He added: “Congratulations to all of our finalists. Many submissions did not make it through to the final stage, and getting to this point is no mean feat. Checkout-free stores, automated supply chains, immersive experiences, on-demand delivery, next generation loyalty offerings, inclusive retail, green technology. We’ve got all the cool stuff covered this evening.”
“But just importantly we’ve got lots of great examples of companies taking innovative tech and making it usable in everyday operations - resulting in more efficiency and profitability in all areas.”
Congratulations to our 2024 winners, and a big thank you to our sponsors, judging panel, the legend that is Lucy Porter, and all those who attended November's gathering.
