Duskin Deploys 'KIRA CV50' Commercial Cleaning Robot to Tackle Labor Shortages and Advance DX

Duskin Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Suita City, Osaka; President: Hiroyuki Okubo) has announced the phased introduction of the 'KIRA CV50' commercial cleaning robot into its Service Master business (professional cleaning services) starting in May. This deployment aims to address the critical social challenge of labor shortages in the cleaning industry by implementing labor-saving equipment that builds efficient operational structures while maintaining service quality.

In recent years, the cleaning industry has faced increasing workloads due to a shrinking labor force and an aging population. Facilities with large floor areas, such as commercial and public spaces, require high cleaning standards along with efficient work processes.

In response, Service Master is promoting Digital Transformation (DX), with the deployment of the 'KIRA CV50' as a key component. The robot is designed for the automatic cleaning of expansive floors, contributing to reduced physical strain on workers and improved productivity.

By combining human expertise with robotic automation, the company expects to optimize staffing, maintain service quality, reduce costs, and establish stable operations. This approach not only alleviates the burden on staff but also ensures the sustainability of cleaning services in an era where recruitment is increasingly difficult.

Looking ahead, Duskin plans to expand the sales of the 'KIRA CV50' beyond its internal operations to meet diverse cleaning needs. The company remains committed to pursuing a new cleaning model where humans and technology coexist, contributing to safe and comfortable environments through DX.
