Autonomous Seat Cleaning

75,024 Seats.
4 Hours.
Zero Compromise.

Robotic precision cleaning for the Allianz Arena — powered by embodied intelligence and triple-arm robotic technology.

Autonomous Seat Cleaning Robot
THE CHALLENGE

After the Game, the Real Work Begins

After every match at the Allianz Arena, 75,024 seats must be cleaned within a tight 4-6 hour window. The three-dimensionally curved HDPE seats with seat surface, backrest, and armrests present an enormous logistical challenge.

Labor Shortage

Difficulty recruiting 150-200 cleaning workers for night shifts after every match

Inconsistent Quality

Manual cleaning varies greatly — no standardized quality control possible

High Operating Costs

EUR 30,000-50,000 personnel costs per match day, over EUR 1.5M annually

Complex 3D Geometry

Three-dimensionally curved seat shells require adaptive cleaning movements

Allianz Arena Seats
THE SOLUTION

Triple-Arm Robotic Architecture

Our autonomous cleaning robot combines a tracked platform with three specialized 6-axis robotic arms in a pipeline configuration: steam cleaning, brush-suction, and AI inspection work simultaneously on adjacent seats.
