Difficulty in Recruiting Workers And High Labor Costs Xiamen Enterprises Empathize With Cleaning Robots

A factory of 20,000 to 30,000 square meters may originally need 10 cleaning workers, but now with the addition of "cleaning robots", one or two is enough. The Herald reporter's investigation yesterday found that due to the difficulty of recruiting and rising labor costs, many Xiamen enterprises have begun to use similar "cleaning robots" in large quantities.

"In less than two months, nearly 20 automatic washing machines were sold in one go." Yi Jianzhang, general manager of Xiamen Kaidiwei Environmental Protection Equipment, revealed that this performance was about three times that of the same period last year.

Save money, one "robot" and ten cleaners

The so-called "cleaning robot" that is popular in the market is actually called an automatic washing machine.

"The cleaner sits on the washing machine, presses the automatic switch button, and it automatically washes wherever it goes." Yi Jianzhang introduced that this is cleaner than manual washing.

It is reported that a relatively advanced automatic floor washing machine is priced between 100,000 and 150,000 yuan, and its washable area per hour is about 6,000 square meters.

Although this price is not cheap, Yi Jianzhang said that it is a good deal for enterprises. He calculated an account for the Herald reporter. If 10 workers are hired, the annual cost is about 300,000 yuan; but for such a washing machine, one or two people are enough, that is, 60,000 yuan, plus the cost of the machine. One or two thousand yuan (the service life of the machine is about ten years), which can save about 200,000 yuan a year. In addition, it is estimated that about half of the water consumption can be saved.

Favored, an automatic washing machine is selling well in Xiamen

The Herald reporter visited and learned that many Xiamen enterprises have already tried "robots" one after another.

In some large public places, such as Xiamen Airport, the current usage has reached seven or eight; super-large factories like Xianglu have also used this "cleaning robot" instead; some small automatic washing machines with lower prices Ground machines are also used in many supermarkets such as Wal-Mart and Xinhuadu.

Now, affected by the difficulty of recruiting, rising labor costs, and increasing environmental protection requirements, “cleaning robots” are even more favored.

It is reported that some large-scale environmental protection brands such as automatic scrubbers, sweepers, and industrial vacuum cleaners at home and abroad, such as Gadeli, Lubao, Bestway, etc., have all taken the opportunity to set up Xiamen.
