Tennant, the 154-year-old cleaning equipment company, just shipped its first fully autonomous industrial sweeper — the X16 SWEEP. Unveiled at MODEX 2026 on April 7, this is an 816 kg robot that sweeps up to 105,000 sq ft per hour, runs six hours on lithium-ion batteries, and docks itself to charge when done. No human route-training required.

The brain behind it: Brain Corp’s BrainOS Clean 2.0 with SelfPath AI. Instead of someone manually driving the machine to teach it routes, the X16 generates and optimizes cleaning paths on its own. It uses 2D planar LiDAR and 3D LiDAR for real-time obstacle detection, a DustShield system that keeps debris off the sensors, and a Smart-Sense indicator that tells you when the 150L hopper is full. Early deployments show 22% more coverage, 55% more autonomy, and 3x faster deployment versus teach-and-repeat robots.

Who It’s For

Warehouses, logistics centers, and light manufacturing — the kind of 24/7 facilities where hiring night-shift janitors is a constant headache. The optional X16 CHRG Dock enables multi-shift operation without anyone touching the machine.

The Fleet Management Layer

This is where it gets interesting for ops teams. Every X16 SWEEP connects to the BrainOS Portal — a cloud dashboard for monitoring your entire robot fleet. You get real-time location, cleaned-area maps, run hours, and coverage stats. The BrainOS Mobile App (iOS and Android) pushes live alerts and usage data to managers. Automated email reports roll up proof-of-work metrics daily or weekly. If you’re running a multi-site operation, this is how you turn floor cleaning into a data problem — track performance, spot missed zones, and optimize schedules from one screen.

46-inch cleaning path. 73 dBA noise level. Available now.
