How deployment works

A documented process, not a drop-off.

Most robots get shipped in a box and handed to an overseas team. We run a high-touch, U.S.-based deployment that doesn't just install automation — it embeds it into your daily cleaning workflows, signed off every step of the way.

Our proven process ensures automation is not just installed — but fully embedded into your daily cleaning workflows for maximum ROI, operator adoption, and performance optimization.

The lifecycle

Three documented phases, every site

From the first stakeholder call to a signed final hand-off, every deployment follows the same proven Cobotiq SOP — adapted to your building, never improvised.

01
Before we arrive

Pre-deployment planning

Every deployment starts with meticulous planning and stakeholder alignment — so the on-site days run on rails.

Stakeholder meetings & goal alignment
Site information gathering — floor plans, access protocols, shift schedules, key contacts
Environmental assessment & constraints identification
Custom deployment agenda with site-specific objectives
Pre-deployment sign-off by your point of contact
02
On the floor

On-site deployment

Our field team configures, tests, and trains alongside your staff — adapting to real shift flows and the way your building actually moves.

Facility walkthrough & initial diagnostics
Robot configuration, system registration & mapping
Task creation, testing & performance validation
Real-time adjustments for facility traffic
Operator hands-on training with certification checklists
Safety, maintenance & troubleshooting procedures
03
Handed off, not left behind

Post-deployment integration

We finish by equipping your team to keep performance high — then Copilot takes it from there, every day.

Help desk access, QR codes & app registration
Final sign-off by site POC and Cobotiq technician
Deployment packet: task guide & map
Operator reference sheets & maintenance schedules
Support & contact information for the Copilot team
Site survey & workloading

We map your floors before we map a route

Automation only works when it's tuned to your real environment. Before a robot runs a single task, we survey the building — substrate by substrate, shift by shift — and build a workload plan around how your team actually cleans.

What we capture on site
Cleanable square footage
By substrate — hard surface vs. carpet, hallways vs. open areas
Floor plans & areas to map
Per building, per floor, with aisle widths
Your robotics champion
The person we train to own the program post-deployment
Shifts & coverage windows
1st, 2nd, 3rd — or all three
Charging & workstation setup
Station count, power and water readiness
Environmental considerations
Glass walls, metal strips, ramps, gaps, traffic
What to expect

Then comes Copilot

Deployment is day one. Copilot is every day after.

The work doesn't stop at sign-off. Our Copilot program continues after deployment — monitoring, support, and optimization that keep your automation investment delivering uptime and value for years.

3× less downtime through proactive monitoring
Tasks kept above 85% completion
Operator adoption measured in weeks, not months
