When the incremental market to stock competition,"broom + three-wheeled" sloppy model has been unable to adapt to the needs of the sanitation industry in urgent need of a comprehensive awakening from the tools to thinking.The answerto this changeishidden in the deep integration of technology and scene.
Looking back, the sanitation industry has gone throughthreestages of development:
◉1. 0 era:manual sweeping, relying on a large number of sanitation workers to maintain urban cleanliness;
◉2. 0 era:the emergence of sanitation vehicles and machinery, but mainly "artificial + mechanical" mode, still relying on a large number of manual labour;
◉3. 0 era:large-scale mechanised cleaning has become the mainstream, improving operational efficiency, but there are still limitations in terms of fine-tuning operations, data management, etc. ......
Nowadays, the sanitation industry is moving towards the4.0 eraof"full chain quantification, standardised assessment and intelligent operation", which is not only a technological update, but also a brand new adjustment of the operation logic of the sanitation industry.
New Operation Mode
Technology Reconstructs Sanitation Value Chain
In the4.0 era, the change of sanitation operation focuses on the reconstruction of technical tools and operation process, promoting the industryto upgrade from "clean sweeping" to "scientific sweeping".
◉ C omprehensive Mechanisation: Building a Multi-Level Operational Equipment System
The traditional"big vehicle + broom" model is difficult to adapt to the increasingly complex urban environment,the new sanitation programme builds a "large, medium, small and micro" equipment system.
◉Large operation robotsare responsible for sweeping the main roads, covering a larger area and with higher efficiency;
◉Medium and small-sized equipmentfocuses on auxiliary roads, back alleys and other areas, with a high degree of operational finesse and strong synergy;
◉ Micro-intelligent equipmentcan penetrate into complex terrain, breaking through the "last 10 metres" of the blind spot of cleaning. ......

◉ Partial unmanned: towards efficient operational synergy
The introduction of unmanned technology frees sanitation operations fromthe constraints of "man stops machine".
Taking KUSA Technology' s unmanned cleaning robot Star Hyun®as an example, it is equipped with L4 level unmanned system, which can work continuously around the clock and break through the limit of manual shifts; based on the multi-source heterogeneous sensing scheme, the robot can achieve all-round environment sensing, accurately identify obstacles and avoid obstacles on its own to ensure uninterrupted cleaning in complex scenes.
In addition, the intelligent cloud control platform can drive multiple robots to work together, combined with edge computing to achieve millisecond response, eliminating the scheduling window period of traditional sanitation.

◉ S trategy data:from"experience" to "data".
Efficient cleaning relies onrefined data analysis.
The establishment of high-precision vector maps containing road parameters and facility coordinates provides accurate spatial benchmarks for operation planning. Combined with factors such as heat flow, commercial density and greening distribution, it intelligently matches the frequency of operations, dynamically adjusts the equipment configuration to ensure optimal resource input, and generates a refined task list to accurately arrange daily sweeping to ensure that the scope of sweeping, the combination of equipment, and the frequency of operations are in an optimal state.
◉ Management platform:monitorable, optimisable and verifiable.
The operation of all equipment, energy consumption data, and operation effect can be monitored in real time, adjusting the path through the platform to improve operation efficiency,ensuring that every operation is based on evidence, allowing the operation mode to be continuously optimised, and forming intelligent closed-loop management.
The new quality operation mode breaks the shackles of inefficiency of traditional sanitation management,reconstructs the value chain with science and technology, and makes sanitation operations smarter, more efficient, and more cost-effective.
Three-dimensional value leap from
cost saving" to "efficiency "
The value of intelligent sanitation is not only reflected in the quality of cleaning, but also through the optimisation of resource allocation and the upgrading of management models, promoting thetransformation ofthe industryfrom"high cost" to "economy".
◉ Reduce costs and increase efficiency, optimise resource allocation
The coststructure isoptimisedfrom the traditional"631"(60%forlabour,30%forequipmentand10%formanagement) to"341"(30%forlabour,40%forequipmentand10%formanagement),reducing the overall costby 20%and making it possible to reduce the cost of auxiliary roads, pavements and green areas.
◉ O perational upgrades that redefine cleanliness
Modern sanitation no longer relies on manual visual inspection, but through"intelligent monitoring"toachieve higher cleanliness standards, sothatthe traditional difficulties such as old rubbish and hidden rubbish in green belts can be dealt with accurately.At the same time,AI inspection can automatically identify residual pollution and re-sweep to ensure that road cleanliness is up to standard.
◉ Fine management to enhance operational efficiency
From scheduling to dispatching, the intelligent system realisesfull-process data-based management, improves resource utilisation, enhances the response speed of unexpected tasks, and effectively reduces safety risks.In addition, the intelligent sanitation model brings new employment opportunities and realisesthe synergistic development of man and machine.
Landed Practice
These cities are writing the answer
The new concept of sanitation operationis being put into practice in many cities across China, which not only optimises the operation mode and reshapesthe industry standard, butalso brings brand new possibilities for urban cleaning.
▶ Case1:A street inSuzhou, Jiangsu
Through the introduction of unmanned sweeping robots,the overall operational efficiency has been increasedby 20% and manpower costs have been reduced by about 50%. The system optimises the sweeping paths in real time according to weather and pollution data,effectivelyreducing the sanitation operating costs and ensuring that the operational effect is maximised.
▶ Case2:A street inAnyang, Henan Province
Through the unmanned cleaning robotcluster collaboration,manpower costsare savedby nearly60%.At the same time,the robot's0-delay dynamic scheduling system enables sweeping tasks to be precisely adjusted according to real-time road conditions, weather and pollution, ensuring that every operation achieves the best results.
The case shows that intelligent sanitation not only improves the level of urban cleaning,but also furtheroptimises the allocation of operational resources, enabling the sanitation industry to gradually get rid of high manpower dependence and realisea"scientific+economic"mode of operation.
Conclusion
From "broom" to "machine", from manual management to intelligent scheduling, the sanitation industry is undergoing a profound change.4.0 era not only improves the efficiency of urban cleaning, but also allows the industry to shift from the traditional cost centre to the efficiency benchmark of refined operation. The 4.0 era has not only improved the efficiency of urban cleaning, but also enabled the industry to shift from a traditional cost centre to an efficiency benchmark of fine operation.
In the future, with the intelligent sanitation model landing in more cities, this change will continue to deepen, and promote urban environmental governance to a whole new level.
