COVER STORY
"With The Horizon Program, our sights are set on
bringing about fundamental change in cleaning," explains Jonas Persson, President and CEO of Nilfisk at the Copenhagen launch event.”
CHANGE IS ON THE HORIZON
Within any industrial sector it is rare that a manufacturer can claim to reveal a true game changer; a ground breaking innovation that will change the course of the industry globally. Nilfisk have done just that after partnering with Carnegie Robotics, a leading provider of advanced robotic sensors, to develop the first generation of intelligent autonomous cleaning machines which will launch Spring 2017 under the pioneering Horizon Program.
Founded in 2010, Carnegie Robotics provides advanced robotic solutions to the defense, agriculture, mining, infrastructure and commercial sectors. Their work in the military sector includes life critical land mine detection.
Their strategy is clear: to identify a leading global partner in each sector that has the courage to introduce disruptive and innovative technology – put simply, to collaborate with a brave and ambitious partner with vision.
Nilfisk was selected for its 110 year heritage whilst responding to the changing needs of the market, constantly striving to improve performance, productivity and reduce the total cost of ownership.
This strong partnership is bringing state of the art technology to the global cleaning industry, allowing customers to safely deploy unmanned floor cleaning machines with accuracy and precision.
President and CEO of Nilfisk, Jonas Persson, announced that “Nilfisk has started a journey to fundamentally change the cleaning industry. Some time ago Nilfisk developed the ambition to produce the most productive, best performing and safe autonomous cleaning machine in the world.”
The Horizon program does just that, combining the highest level of expertise in robotics and commercial cleaning to produce state of the art driverless cleaning equipment which is unrivalled in the market today. The Horizon Program has

remained confidential for more than two years and heralds a new era of intelligent cleaning.
SO HOW DOES IT WORK? The new Horizon autonomous cleaning machine can see everything by combining four different sensing technologies; map building, position, obstacle detection and people detection, the result is the most sophisticated environmental sensoring on the market today.
The first generation of intelligent
cleaning is here Nilfisk Liberty A50.
