Cleaning equipment and solutions provider Tennant Company recently launched the new X6 ROVR, a mid-sized robotic scrubber designed for large commercial and light-industrial environments, according to a news release. The autonomous machine can clean up to 75,000 square feet peer cycle with minimal needs for manual assistance. The product also comes with the optional Tennant XC1 docking station, which charges the scrubber between cleaning cycles.

“As organizations continue to face staffing shortages, automating routine cleaning tasks provides a clear and proven path to operational efficiencies,” said Tennant Company President and CEO Dave Huml. “We built the X6 ROVR to tackle this challenge — delivering dependable, autonomous performance across large-scale and complex environments, so cleaning teams can stay focused on higher-impact work.”

The X6 ROVR runs on the AI-driven BrainOS platform to navigate real-world environments. Key features include an extended cleaning range with a 26-inch, dual-disc scrub path and 25-gallon solution and recovery tanks. Lithium ion batteries provide a six-hour, continuous runtime. The mid-sized design and 3D LiDAR allow for efficient operation in open spaces and crowded areas, offering real-time adaptive routing and obstacle detection. Finally, the BrainOS-powered autonomous operation provides intelligent navigation, remote deployment, and performance-tracking management tools, the news release reports.

“Our customers in small retail, education, and healthcare sectors have seen measurable results with the ROVR platform. Now we are bringing that technology to small industrial and large commercial facilities with the X6 ROVR,” said Seth Rourke, Tennant Company’s Vice President of Global Product Management. “The product truly stands out for its unique ability to deliver high-capacity, high-performance cleaning while remaining incredibly nimble, maneuverable, and compact.”
