Case Study: ECOVACS Commercial Cleaning Robot DEEBOT PRO M1 in Shanghai 1000 TREES Mall

Jul.01.2025

In Shanghai, China, lies an urban oasis - 1000 TREES. This masterpiece designed by renowned British designer Thomas Heatherwick draws inspiration from Huangshan's contours, earning its reputation as 'Shanghai's Hanging Gardens of Babylon' and the prestigious Prix Versailles award.

The commercial complex faces three critical cleaning challenges:

① A 39,000㎡ area requiring massive cleaners.
② Increased management difficulties and training costs due to high staff turnover rates.
③ Unvisualized, undigitized cleaning data.

As a landmark project, 1000 TREES is actively pursuing smart upgrades. ECOVACS Commercial Robotics collaborates with our partner to deliver intelligent, efficient cleaning solutions. Let’s explore how ECOVACS commercial cleaning robot DEEBOT PRO M1 is revolutionizing cleanliness in this bustling shopping destination.

Smart Cleaning: Elevating Cleaning Frequency

By using DEEBOT PRO M1, the cleaning frequency is increased by 2 times while keeping cleaning standards steady.

•Pre-opening Prep: Before the mall is open, DEEBOT PRO M1s automatically complete all the floor cleaning through deep scrubbing, with a fresh fragrance.
•During Operations: With a 1,200㎡/h cleaning rate and 8-hour endurance, M1 can sweep and mop during the whole operation time.
•Manual & Automatic Dual Mode: Its dual-mode (manual/automatic) design enables quick response to sudden spills, adapting seamlessly to dynamic needs. After task completion, M1 can return to charging station automatically without any human prevention.

Human-Robot Collaboration: Transforming Management

The robot not only boosts cleaning efficiency, cleaning quality, and cleaning frequency, but also empowers the establishment of the human-robot cleaning collaboration solution.

•24/7 Operations: Traditional cleaning equipment is highly dependent on human working time, but robots utilize late nights for round-the-clock cycles.
•Labor Savings: Robots handle large-area cleaning, freeing staff to spend <10 minutes/day maintaining machines and 1–2 days/week tackling edges—cutting redundant work.
•Enhanced Productivity: Reallocated labor focuses on detailed tasks (restrooms, glass barriers, escalators) or cross-area support, boosting overall efficiency.
•Reduced Risks: Less strenuous floor work lowers risks for older staff, mitigating turnover impacts.
•Data-Driven Insights: After each cleaning cycle, the robot automatically generates visualized reports, enabling data-driven decision making for facility managers.
