Maintenance of the robotic system Beatbot is easy and designed with consideration of user convenience and efficiency. The device is built in a modular manner; it can easily be disassembled-even by users-for cleaning or replacement of components without the use of special tools. Simple maintenance procedures, such as emptying the debris chamber or rinsing the filters, take less than 10 minutes and thus do not need longer downtimes.
Being considerably less than other robotic systems-most being over $1,500 yearly-the average maintenance cost per year of Beatbot falls below $500. With robust construction using corrosion-resistant materials, a lifespan of more than five years, including those in stressful conditions like saltwater pools, converts to a residentially viable cost with minimal interruption.
Good design is as little design as possible,” said Dieter Rams, emphasizing simplicity and functionality. This philosophy is implemented in Beatbot in its self-diagnostic features that warn the user of any problems, like clogged filters or low battery levels. These real-time notifications will enable users to take immediate action regarding minor problems before they develop into bigger, more time- and money-consuming repairs.
The filtration system in the device is long-lasting and has to be replaced only once every six months if the device is put to heavy use. In cases of light residential use, filters can last up to a year, which reduces the periodicity and cost of maintenance even further. Equipped with a 5-liter debris chamber, Beatbot requires less frequent emptying and hence is ideal for high-debris environments.
Software updates further simplify maintenance by improving performance and fixing potential bugs. Delivered automatically via Wi-Fi, these updates make sure the device is up-to-date without requiring user intervention. Over 95% of the users of Beatbot reported that the automatic updates improve efficiency and reduce the need for manual adjustments.
The low-maintenance design is a boon to commercial facilities like hotel pools. Managers stated that labor costs for maintaining pools went down by 40%, as the robotic system requires very little or no supervision. Its self-cleaning sensors prevent any build-up on the critical components, extending operation periods between servicing.
