FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Copenhagen, Denmark
& Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania − October 4, 2016. Nilfisk today
announced The Horizon Program, a pioneering global program that will deliver the most
intelligent and technologically advanced cleaning solutions in the industry.
Working with Carnegie Robotics, LLC, the leading provider of advance robotics
sensors and software, Nilfisk’s Horizon Program is a strategic, long-term program
of multiple product launches, the first to be released in 2017. These new
products will provide the full spectrum of autonomous capabilities, so
customers can experience self-operating, driverless cleaning options that meet
their every need.
The Horizon Program
focuses on bringing state-of-the-art, autonomous cleaning technologies to
market, enabling customers to deploy unmanned floor cleaning with accuracy and
precision.
In its
110-year history, Nilfisk has blazed the trail at every turn, bringing
ingenuity together with practical applications to serve customers and their
business objectives. The program is dedicated to developing intelligent and
connected cleaning products, giving customers greater control and more flexibility,
and fundamentally changing the way they clean. The Horizon Program will set the
standard and lead the way for all intelligent equipment going forward in the
commercial cleaning industry.
“With The
Horizon Program, our sights are set on bringing about fundamental change in cleaning.
Consistent with our history Nilfisk is continuously responding to the changing
needs of markets and customers with innovative products and solutions. With The
Horizon Program we are setting a course for a long-term, strategic program of
autonomous and connected cleaning solutions and putting forth the most
sophisticated technology that will completely redefine how we look at
productivity and total cost of ownership. Our view of the future is one that
makes incredible strides in cleaning technology,” said Jonas Persson, President
and CEO of Nilfisk.
Nilfisk’s
work with Carnegie Robotics is like no other partnership in the industry. This
team brings together the highest levels of expertise in robotics and commercial
cleaning to design and develop state-of-the-art autonomous cleaning solutions.
“With Nilfisk and Carnegie Robotics, we are combining a century of cleaning expertise with
machine vision and autonomous technologies proven
to work safely in unstructured environments such as military operations, agriculture and
mining. From the beginning, our partnership has focused on thorough, intensive
research and exhaustive, rigorous testing to develop the most sophisticated,
highest functioning autonomous cleaning products the industry has seen to
date,” said Steve DiAntonio, President and CEO of Carnegie Robotics.
The first product
to launch in Spring 2017 in select markets will feature an optionally manned
scrubber/dryer—one that can be, at the customer’s choice, autonomously or
manually operated. It will include highly refined features designed to increase
productivity, its design promises reliability and safety, and the product is
very easy to use. With only three buttons, there is minimal training required
to operate it. Nilfisk will showcase this
first product in The Horizon Program at the ISSA Trade show October 26-28, 2016
where customers will have the opportunity to experience it live.
