Dear Reader,

Elevators, intelligence, and Awards mark the current momentum across the FieldBots ecosystem. This edition highlights recent developments that connect infrastructure, software, and global fleet recognition as robotic operations continue to scale.

FieldBots has entered into a strategic partnership with KONE, a global leader in elevators and escalators, to deliver brand-independent elevator access for autonomous cleaning robots across the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland). This collaboration enables fleet operators to connect robots with elevators directly through the FieldBots platform, regardless of the make or model of elevator or robot, overcoming a long-standing operational hurdle for multi-floor autonomy. Users can now register elevator assets in FieldBots just like robots or locations, triggering an automated workflow that collects the required technical data and forwards it to KONE, whose service teams retrofit or modernize the elevator for seamless integration. This functionality is included in the FieldBots newest release and is available to all users, with potential future expansion beyond the DACH markets.

With the launch of version 6.0, FieldBots introduces FieldBots Intelligence, deliberately flipping the script from passive fleet management toward active fleet support designed to help fleets grow. Built bottom-up from real-world operations rather than abstract algorithms, FieldBots Intelligence structures learning across three domains: Physical Intelligence, Big Data Intelligence, and Agentic Intelligence. Instead of merely reporting what has already happened, the platform increasingly interprets behavior, benchmarks performance across fleets, and initiates supportive actions that reduce friction in daily operations. The result is a system that does not just manage robots, but actively assists operators in scaling fleets more reliably, efficiently, and with greater operational confidence.

Following strong international resonance around The Biggest Fleet 2025—with a record 97 participating fleets and more than 14,000 robots represented—the awards are now being shipped to this year’s winners across the Americas, Asia, and Europe. As FieldBots’ newly appointed Director Europe, Lukas Thaler, begins his tour across the region, the team is coordinating closely with award recipients worldwide to identify the best moments and formats for handovers. Award ceremonies will therefore take place in different markets over the coming weeks, with photos and videos to follow. It is a timely opportunity to revisit The Biggest Fleet 2025 and take a closer look at the results and insights behind this year’s rankings.

FieldBots is the leading platform for managing autonomous cleaning robots and currently supports nine manufacturers and 26 models. Operators can centrally control robot models, document cleaning results, and optimize their fleets based on data. In addition to integrated ticketing and automated notifications, FieldBots Intelligence continuously analyzes operational and sensor data during live robot operation, contextualizes it, and translates it into concrete recommendations for operational and technical teams.
