Adlatus CR700

What it's for

The Adlatus CR700 is an autonomous cleaning robot for large industrial areas from the German company ADLATUS Robotics, meant among other things for scrubbing logistics halls at night. The manufacturer offers it in two versions, with a scrubbing disc or with a cylindrical brush that runs at about 200 rpm. The clean and dirty water tanks hold 60 and 55 liters, so this is no office toy but a tool for halls. There is one range of use: large-area cleaning of industrial halls and logistics centers.

By sector: in a warehouse it means long, wide aisles and transshipment zones where the floor gets dirty evenly and predictably, ideal terrain for a robot that follows a set route. In a factory it means production halls with concrete or resin floors where dust and process residue have to be collected. In retail it would make sense mainly for the back rooms and warehouses of shopping centers rather than the sales floor, because a robot with a 260 kg dead weight and its dimensions does not fit narrow aisles full of customers.

Safety in the hall comes from sensors: 2D and 3D LiDAR for obstacle detection, acceleration sensors, and cliff sensors that stop the machine at the edge of a ramp or stairs. The robot travels at up to 1.11 m/s, about the pace of a brisk walk. The manufacturer withholds a lot of data, including drive details beyond the fact that it is electric, so before buying you need to ask about cleaning width and area performance in square meters per hour. We do not have those figures from a reliable source and will not guess them. How to read such datasheets is explained in “How to Read a Robot Datasheet”. LiDAR sensors are made by companies such as SICK and Hokuyo; we do not know whose modules ADLATUS fits, but they are a good starting point for understanding how the robot “sees” the hall.

Who it's for

A good fit: operators of large warehouses, logistics centers and industrial plants with extensive, fairly open floors that are cleaned regularly, ideally on a fixed schedule. Also companies that want to relieve people of night or early-morning scrubbing and do not need a robot that does everything. The CR700 does one thing and was designed only for that.

Not a good choice for: service venues, hotels, hospitals or offices, where maneuverability, quiet and appearance matter; there it is better to look at smaller machines in service robots. Not for companies seeking a multi-task robot (disinfection, delivery, patrol); then something like the Aeolus aeo makes more sense, though it is not available in Poland either. Not for buyers who need local service: there is no confirmed Polish distributor, so before deciding you have to ask the manufacturer who will provide parts and support in Poland. And not for those who want to decide from a price list, because nobody publishes a price.

Deployments

We also have no described CR700 deployment anywhere in the world from a reliable source, so we name no customers.

Large-area cleaning robots already operate from several manufacturers whose models we cover. The Avidbots Neo 2 is sold with an annual subscription, the Pudu CC1 has a lease offer in Poland, and the Nilfisk Liberty SC50 runs on the BrainOS platform. For an overview of commercial cleaning robots, see “Commercial Cleaning Robots in Practice”. Until a Polish distributor for the CR700 appears, it is more sensible to compare it with models whose service is a phone call away.

The closest competitor in its class is the Gausium Scrubber 50 Pro: an autonomous scrubber with an open price of USD 53,600 (about PLN 207,760 (≈ EUR 47,610)) or USD 1,795 a month under an RaaS (robot-as-a-service) model. A good option if you want a concrete figure to start negotiations.

If the hall is really large, check out the Avidbots Neo 2: an industrial scrubber cleaning up to 3,900 m² per hour, sold with an upfront fee plus an annual fee. Listed at PLN 193,810 (≈ EUR 44,410).

For smaller budgets there is the Pudu CC1: a 4-in-1 robot (sweeping, scrubbing, washing, vacuuming) from PLN 73,680 (≈ EUR 16,880) in Poland, or from PLN 785 (≈ EUR 180) net per month on a lease. It is a different size class from the CR700, but sufficient for many halls.

If you favor a brand known for cleaning equipment, look at the Nilfisk Liberty SC50: a ride-on scrubber on the BrainOS platform, up to 10 hours of operation, with optional UVGI disinfection; price undisclosed. By comparison, the CR700 quotes 5 hours.

ADLATUS Robotics is based in Ulm, Germany, and specializes in autonomous cleaning robots for industrial use. The CR700 is a model offered for sale, but we have no launch date and no recorded generations or events that would let us build a reliable timeline, so we do not invent further versions. All we know is that the robot comes in two cleaning configurations and that its maker is a niche player: it appears as the only described model from this company, and it has no confirmed presence in Poland. If the launch date matters to you (for example when asking about spare part availability), ask the manufacturer directly.
