About KEMARO
KEMARO AG was founded in 2016 in Eschlikon (Switzerland) by the engineers Armin Koller, Thomas Oberholzer and Martin Gadient and develops autonomous industrial sweeping and vacuum robots for cleaning halls and logistics floors. The core product is the K900 Gen II in the ECO, Smart, TOP and K-Integrated variants, complemented by the K700 Compact, which is only 25 cm high, for areas under low shelving and machines. The robots clean water- and chemical-free using a dry sweeping process with integrated dust extraction, up to 1,000 m² per hour, and use 3D environmental perception, AI-supported navigation and LiDAR technology. Development, design and software (operating systems, control algorithms, Sphere cloud fleet management incl. VDA5050 interface) are carried out in-house at the headquarters in Eschlikon; final assembly, calibration and quality control of each robot also take place in-house. Areas of application include logistics, manufacturing, the automotive industry, food and tobacco production, filling plants, metal and woodworking as well as hazardous areas. With a branch in Columbia (South Carolina, USA) and a sales network of licensed partners in 26 countries, KEMARO supplies customers in Europe, North America, Asia and Oceania.
