KEMARO: K900 Gen II and K700 Industrial Dry-Sweeping Robots
Swiss industrial cleaning robotics company offering K900 Gen II dry sweepers and the compact K700. Review cleaning modes, fleet configuration and site-specific maintenance requirements.
Company and development
KEMARO AG develops industrial cleaning robots from Eschlikon, Switzerland. Its company timeline records a 2016 founding, industrial validation of the K800 in 2018 and the K900 series launch in Germany, Austria and Switzerland in 2020. The K900, K700 and regional KEMARO entities are treated here as one supplier profile, rather than separate manufacturers.
Dry-sweeping applications
KEMARO positions its robots for dust and debris removal in industrial and logistics facilities. This is dry sweeping without cleaning water or detergent, rather than a wet scrubber-dryer process. The supplier expressly states that the robot does not sweep liquids. A facility should therefore document spill-response arrangements separately from its routine robot cleaning schedule.
Model and area selection
The current product page lists K900 Gen II Eco, Smart and Top configurations against room-area bands below 2,500, 10,000 and 20,000 square metres respectively. K-Integrated is listed for fleet-management integration. The K700 Compact is presented as a lower, 25 cm-high option for spaces beneath equipment or shelves. Area bands describe product selection, not square metres cleaned per hour.
Cleaning modes and route behaviour
KEMARO’s public Knowledge Hub describes zone cleaning with individual zone settings, Auto Fill-in structured cleaning, random cleaning, wall-following, and a combined random and wall-following mode. It also explains that control-panel buttons can be configured to user needs. During a demonstration, compare the modes on the actual aisle layout and dust distribution rather than assuming that every route pattern produces equivalent coverage.
Fleet management and commissioning
The product description associates Sphere and its web app with scheduling, mapping, exclusion zones, waypoints and robot monitoring. For procurement, define who may change maps, what happens when connectivity is interrupted, and which integrations are included. Ask the implementation partner to document commissioning, staff training and software support; a fleet-integration label is not proof of compatibility with an existing warehouse system.
Evidence and operating limits
The company timeline supports a staged rollout into additional regions, but its latest fleet milestone displays inconsistent year labels. This profile therefore does not assign that milestone a date or use it as a verified installed-base count. Likewise, headline cost savings and risk-reduction percentages are supplier marketing claims, not site acceptance results. Request examples with comparable debris, traffic and maintenance conditions.
Questions for a site trial
Record minimum clearances, thresholds, floor openings and interactions with forklifts before selecting a robot. Test dust pickup, debris that blocks the brush, filter servicing, bin emptying and charging access over a representative shift. Agree an intervention log and responsibility for recovery when the route is blocked. Obtain local service coverage, replacement-part lead times and a written decision on any hazardous dust or unusual moisture exposure.
