Cleaning Meets Charm: ELVI’s €80,000 Investment on Gausium Phantas Pays Off in Performance and Customer JoyMay 06, 2025
June 30, 2025
Alvaro Cunqueiro Hospital, operated by Acciona Facility Services, is one of Spain’s most modern and respected healthcare institutions. With wide corridors connecting patient rooms and a central lobby near the information desk, the hospital faces high demands for hygiene and operational efficiency. To meet these needs, Gausium’s trusted distributor in Spain — Darlim — introduced an autonomous cleaning solution tailored for this environment.

Maintaining spotless floors in high-traffic zones like hospital corridors and public lobbies was becoming increasingly difficult. Manual cleaning alone struggled to keep up with the required frequency and thoroughness, while labor constraints and cost pressures continued to rise.
In March 2025, two units of Gausium’s Phantas were deployed to handle floor cleaning in the hospital’s corridors and lobby areas. Equipped with advanced navigation and smart sensors, Phantas autonomously navigates complex indoor spaces, performs edge-to-edge cleaning, and returns to its charging dock without assistance. Its compact size and quiet operation make it ideally suited for healthcare settings where discretion and safety are critical.

Phantas is not here to replace cleaning staff — it’s here to support them. While the robot handles the repetitive task of floor scrubbing, human personnel are able to focus on more detailed responsibilities like disinfecting surfaces and cleaning windows. This synergy between human expertise and robotic precision results in a more effective and balanced cleaning workflow.
Following implementation, Acciona Facility Services reported cost savings and an improvement in cleaning consistency and quality. The autonomous operation of Phantas has enabled more efficient use of staff time and ensured a consistently clean environment throughout the hospital’s busiest areas.
Thanks to Darlim’s deployment of Gausium’s Phantas, Alvaro Cunqueiro Hospital now benefits from a future-ready cleaning solution that combines automation with human expertise. The result is a safer, cleaner, and more efficient healthcare environment — powered by smart collaboration.
