Smarter, Safer, Cleaner: The Future of Hospital Floor Care is Robotics

Tennant Australia is proud to introduce the X4 ROVR Robotic Scrubber, a powerful new solution purpose-built for hospitals and healthcare facilities. This next-generation autonomous floor scrubber brings advanced automation, intelligent navigation, and consistent cleaning performance to environments where hygiene can directly impact patient outcomes.

As hospitals face increased pressure to maintain strict infection control standards, manage staff shortages, and reduce operational costs, the X4 ROVR steps in as the smart and efficient cleaning solution that supports both cleaning teams and frontline healthcare workers.

Why the X4 ROVR Works for Healthcare

From emergency departments to corridors, patient rooms, and operating theatres, hospitals need cleaning equipment that can adapt quickly and work consistently, without getting in the way. The X4 ROVR’s compact size and agility allow it to navigate tight, high-traffic areas, ensuring spotless floors without disrupting patient care. Additionally, the advanced BrainOS^® powered AI allows the X4 ROVR to navigate safely around obstacles while cleaning.

Designed with hospital-grade cleaning in mind, the X4 ROVR features:

• A dual disk scrub path and high-performance vacuum system for deep, reliable cleaning across a range of hard floor types common in healthcare settings.
• A cleaning productivity rate of up to 1,860 square meters on a single full tank.
• A fast charging, low maintenance lithium-ion powered battery providing up to 2.5 hours of continuous cleaning allowing for productivity across cleaning schedules during peak and off-peak hours.
   

These features empower healthcare facilities to elevate their hygiene standards while allowing cleaning teams to focus on high-value cleaning tasks.

Driven by Intelligence, Built for Compliance

At the heart of the X4 ROVR is the next-generation BrainOS Clean Suite, a powerful AI platform that delivers real-time insights, improved navigation, and seamless control. Cleaning teams can track progress, schedule tasks, and access reporting tools via a mobile app and operations portal, making it easier than ever to meet internal audits, prove compliance, and document proof-of-clean.

This digital-first approach is especially valuable in healthcare, where traceability, transparency, and accountability are essential.

Lisa Atherton, Tennant Australia’s Head of Sales, shared:

“Hospitals and healthcare facilities are under constant pressure to maintain high cleaning standards while navigating workforce challenges. The X4 ROVR offers an intelligent, high-performance solution that delivers consistent, data-backed results — day in and day out.”

A Clean Future for Healthcare

With over 9,500 robotic floor cleaning machines already in operation globally, Tennant continues to lead the charge in autonomous cleaning. The X4 ROVR is the latest advancement in this journey, one that brings hospital cleaning into the future by merging smart automation with Tennant’s trusted floor care expertise.

The X4 ROVR is available in Australia from May 1, 2025.
