Dear Reader,
FieldBots has always built intelligent features from the real world down, not from algorithms up. While others talk about Artificial Intelligence in abstract terms, our focus remains on how robots, data, and operators interact in everyday environments.
Right now, the FieldBots team is finalizing version 5.8 as another incremental update to the proven FieldBots 5 platform. And, more excitingly, plans for the next major release at the same time: FieldBots 6, carrying the working title "FieldBots Intelligence" and planned for 2026. It will be the most significant step forward yet, a version that marks the transition from managing fleets to understanding them.
FieldBots Intelligence will launch with twelve intelligence features, organized across three distinct domains: Physical Intelligence, Big Data Intelligence, and Agentic Intelligence. Each represents a different way for fleets to become more aware, more responsive, and more autonomous over time.

Physical Intelligence connects digital systems with physical environments. FieldBots observes real robots operating in real spaces and can act back upon them. Through this two-way relationship, the platform interprets behavior such as water use, energy draw, or cleaning output, identifies deviations, and enables fleets to self-optimize. It also simplifies coordination between robots and building systems like elevators, merges live maps from multiple machines into unified floorplans, and applies configuration policies across entire teams. Physical Intelligence is where fleet management starts to touch the ground.

Big Data Intelligence turns collective experience into actionable knowledge. Every connected robot contributes to a growing dataset that allows operators to compare, benchmark, and plan with context. FieldBots aggregates anonymized insights from thousands of fleets worldwide to reveal what good performance truly means for each model and environment. It projects ROI over time, monitors firmware adoption, and predicts the lifetime of consumables such as brushes or filters. Big Data Intelligence makes every fleet part of a shared learning curve, transforming data into decisions that improve efficiency, sustainability, and commercial return.

Agentic Intelligence introduces autonomous initiative. It starts with simple actions like creating a ticket when a robot gets stuck, recommending immediate maintenance, or suggesting reconnections after communication loss. Over time, these agents evolve into assistants capable of performing updates, monitoring for lost devices, and securing fleets against unauthorized reconnections. Every action remains transparent and opt-in, giving operators full control. Agentic Intelligence represents a careful, grounded path toward self-managing fleets, not artificial independence but practical autonomy.
|
FieldBots Intelligence isn’t artificial. It is built on the real work of robots cleaning real spaces, every hour of every day. It learns with you, from physical performance to data-driven insight to intelligent action. The upcoming FieldBots 6 release in 2026 will mark the beginning of this new chapter, expanding continuously with further intelligence features in every domain. Be among the first to explore it by signing up for early access to the FieldBots 6 waiting list and take part in shaping the future of intelligent fleet management.

FieldBots is the leading platform for managing autonomous cleaning robots, currently supporting eight manufacturers and 26 models. Operators can centrally manage machines from different brands and document cleaning performance. With configurable widgets, automated notifications and integrated ticketing, both operational and technical teams are supported in their daily work.
