T600 between cells — replacing tugger runs

Challenge

An 80,000 sqft fabricator with a single tugger driver bottleneck across 6 weld stations. End-of-line throughput capped by parts movement, not weld capacity.

What we deployed

One PUDU T600 Standard, 4 fixed routes, mapped in 2 hours. Integrated with their PLC stack via PUDU Open Platform. Wheeling team handled mapping + 1-day operator training.

First-90-day outcome

Tugger driver freed to take on a quality-inspection role. Cell-to-cell movement up ~22% by self-report. Robot uptime 96% over the period.

Commercial cleaning · Illinois retail

CC1 fleet across mid-size retail nightly clean

Challenge

4-location specialty retailer, ~22,000 sqft each. Overnight cleaning team kept missing detail areas; consistency was uneven across stores. Auditing was nearly impossible.

What we deployed

3 CC1 robots (one shared between two adjacent locations) with PUDU Fleet Manager. Mapped each store, set 2-hour overnight cycles, water recycle via CSM dock.

First-90-day outcome

Cleaning time per store down to 2 h from 4 h. Manager hours redirected to merchandising. Missed-area complaints to zero in month 2.

Hospitality · Chicago metro

MT1 Vac in a hotel public-area overnight pass

Challenge

Mid-size hotel chain pilot. Overnight cleaner turnover, mixed carpet/tile floors in lobby, lounge, conference areas. Looking for consistency without expanding headcount.

What we deployed

Two MT1 Vac units, mapped public areas (~14,000 sqft total). Sweep + vacuum + dust-mop in one overnight pass. Operator-mode handle retained for spill cleanup.

First-90-day outcome

Property scored its highest cleanliness rating in their ops audit since pre-pandemic. Pilot now expanding to 3 sister properties.
