Six trades,
the same problem.
Not enough people for work that repeats. Here is where robotics currently fits each industry we serve, which equipment applies, and the numbers behind it.
Pressure Washing Contractors
Exterior cleaning is where robotics reached the trades first. Drone-mounted and ground-based washing systems take the facades, roofs, and heights that would otherwise need a lift, a harness, or a shutdown — and the same crew covers more buildings in a day.
Solar
Soiling is a measurable, recurring loss on every array, and manual cleaning does not scale across a utility-scale site. Vegetation between and beneath rows is the other recurring cost, and both are schedulable work a robot handles well.
Facilities Management
Large interior floors are the clearest case for autonomous cleaning: the same route to the same standard every night, which frees a cleaning crew for the work that actually needs judgment. Turnover in this sector makes consistency hard to buy any other way.
Property Management
A multi-site portfolio turns one-off exterior jobs into recurring schedules, and turns condition documentation into an insurance and warranty requirement. Robots suit both: predictable repeat work, and getting a camera somewhere nobody should be standing.
Landscaping
Recurring mowing and growth control is predictable, repetitive, and rarely needs a skilled operator on every pass — which is exactly the shape of work a robot absorbs. For most operators the constraint is not demand, it is finding people.
Utilities
Vegetation management around overhead lines is often the single largest line item in an operations budget, and inspection work usually means sending someone up a structure. Both are recurring, both are compliance-driven, and both are candidates for automation.
These are published third-party estimates, not ServiceBots figures. Each is attributed to its source and year, and describes the industry rather than our own results.
Not sure where your operation fits?
Most businesses we talk to have never used robotics before. The Assessment exists to work out whether it fits yours, before anyone buys anything.
