It\u2019s part of how we\u2019re applying technology to improve both the guest experience and the working environment for our teams, in line with Dubai Airports\u2019 smart airport strategy and long-term sustainability goals.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The robots, which are seamlessly integrated with Farnek\u2019s physical cleaning teams as part of its pioneering Farnek Hybrid Unit (FHU) model, are setting superior standards in operational excellence and innovation \u2014 integrating robotics, digitalisation, and sustainability to redefine how airport cleaning and hygiene is delivered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis is one of the largest robotic cleaning programmes in the Middle East\u2019s aviation sector. It positions Dubai Airports as a global reference for smart FM integration \u2014 combining automation, digital platforms, and sustainability under one operational model,\u201d saidMarkus Oberlin, Group CEO, Farnek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe contract renewal marks a new chapter \u2014 one built on proven partnership, smarter processes, and a shared drive for continuous improvement. What we\u2019ve achieved together is not just automation; it\u2019s a model for how intelligent FM can operate at scale,\u201d added Oberlin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following the success of this rollout, Dubai Airports and Farnek will explore next-generation robotic models, enhanced AI analytics, and performance-based sustainability metrics. The objective is to build a fully adaptive, data-driven cleaning ecosystem that dynamically aligns with passenger movement and operational demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>30 autonomous cleaning robots now deployed across 5 major airport locations As part of a five-year facilities management partnership, Dubai Airports and leading UAE-based smart and green facilities management (FM) company Farnek, are deploying more than 30 autonomous cleaning robots across five major airport locations \u2014 Terminal 1, Terminal 2, Concourse D, Dubai Cargo Village, &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":82661,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[644,2],"tags":[4339,4338],"class_list":["post-82660","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-communications-technology","category-news","tag-dubai-airports","tag-robotic-cleaning-programme"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.1 -
