The Hawaiʻi Department of Transportation Airports Division (HDOT-A) is bringing in two automatic floor cleaners to supplement janitorial services at the Daniel K. Inouye International Airport.

The cost of the cleaners, which includes training, is $157,000.  Training for staff involves mapping an area and formulating a cleaning plan.

“The robotic scrubbers will help us keep HNL sanitary and sparkling,” said Hawaiʻi Department of Transportation Deputy Director of Airports Ross Higashi in a press release.  Higashi continued, “Use of this technology will also allow us to maximize available staff in maintaining our busiest airport to standards.”
