World Clean Biz is an independent industry publication and is not affiliated with LionsBot. Factory capacity, global-office and dealer statements do not identify the seller, importer, software terms or warranty provider for every country and project.
| Category | Positioning | Buyer relevance |
|---|---|---|
| R3 Scrub Pro | Compact autonomous scrubber for airports, supermarkets, healthcare and other constrained commercial spaces. | Test aisle clearance, edge performance, squeegee dryness, dock requirements, floor chemistry and practical hourly output. |
| R3 Vac and R5 | Autonomous vacuuming and compact cleaning platforms for carpeted and mixed commercial environments. | Confirm filtration, surface compatibility, consumables, runtime, navigation and manual-recovery workflow. |
| R12 Rex Scrub | Large-area autonomous scrubber for warehouses, factories and high-capacity industrial applications. | Validate turning space, floor loading, water logistics, brush pressure, safety separation and recovery procedures. |
| LionsOS and fleet services | Cloud and application tools support scheduling, robot monitoring, cleaning analytics and multi-robot operation. | Contract data access, cybersecurity, service availability, software updates, subscriptions and transition assistance. |
World Clean Biz assessment: LionsBot differentiates through a focused cleaning-robot portfolio, in-house Singapore manufacturing and an integrated robot, cloud and dealer-support model. Buyers should turn that proposition into project-level proof through site trials, software review, local technician capacity and measurable uptime obligations.
| Evidence | Scope | Buyer check |
|---|---|---|
| LionsBot's 2024 factory announcement describes a 4,908-square-metre Singapore manufacturing and R&D facility with component warehousing, sub-assembly, final assembly, calibration, testing and quality checks. | LionsBot's Singapore factory as announced in April 2024 | Request the build record, manufacturer identification, serial range and conformity documents for the exact robot. |
| The same announcement states that the facility can manufacture up to 4,000 robots annually on a single-shift basis. | Company-reported nominal capacity, not guaranteed available supply | Confirm production allocation, lead time, configuration freeze and spare-parts availability in the supply agreement. |
| LionsBot says the Nilfisk SC25 introduced in 2024 is made at LionsBot's Singapore production facility as a collaboration between the two companies. | Named SC25 collaboration | For a co-branded or partner-channel model, identify the contracting seller, firmware owner, service provider and warranty entity. |
| Evidence | Scope | Buyer check |
|---|---|---|
| LionsBot lists offices in Singapore, the Netherlands, the United States and India, alongside a Singapore factory. | Current official contact-page locations | Confirm which office or legal entity will contract, invoice, import and support the destination market. |
| The support page describes local-dealer aftersales, remote headquarters support and certified dealer technicians. | Company service model | Name the local technician organization, parts stock, response time, preventive-maintenance schedule and escalation route in writing. |
| LionsBot says warranty covers manufacturer defects while consumable wear is excluded and battery coverage has a defined duration. | General warranty statement rather than a complete market contract | Obtain the destination-market warranty document covering duration, battery, exclusions, labor, travel and return logistics before purchase. |
Official materials identify LionsBot International Pte. Ltd. as a Singapore-incorporated company founded by Dylan Ng, Michelle Seow and robotics professor Mohan Rajesh Elara.
