Boosting Cleaning Frequency and Brand Image—Da Nang International Airport Takes Off with Gausium’s Autonomous Cleaning Solutions

Overview

Da Nang International Airport, one of Vietnam’s busiest travel hubs, partnered with Gausium and distributor Hoan My Company Limited to modernize its airport cleaning services through autonomous robotics. Facing increasing pressure to maintain international hygiene standards and reduce dependency on manual labor, the airport deployed five units of Gausium floor cleaning robots — Vacuum 40, Scrubber 50, and Scrubber 75 — across public and internal boarding areas. The implementation resulted in a twofold increase in cleaning frequency, enhanced cleaning quality, and a significant uplift in the airport’s brand image. As the first airport in Vietnam to adopt autonomous cleaning solutions, Da Nang International Airport now stands as a forward-thinking model aligned with global standards like Skytrax.

The Challenge

As one of Vietnam’s most important aviation gateways, Da Nang International Airport faced mounting expectations for superior hygiene and passenger experience. With rising operational pressures and the need to align with global cleanliness standards, airport management needed a more scalable, consistent solution than traditional manual cleaning methods could offer.

Why Gausium

In collaboration with Hoan My Company Limited, the airport chose Gausium for its trusted name in autonomous cleaning. Known for its AI-powered smart navigation, multi-surface capabilities, and consistent performance, Gausium offered the ideal solution to meet the evolving demands of modern airport maintenance.

The Solution

A fleet of five Gausium cleaning robots was strategically deployed to automate floor cleaning across public and restricted areas:

• Vacuum 40 (1 unit) – for intelligent vacuuming in carpeted zones
• Scrubber 50 (2 units) – for compact maneuverability in public walkways
• Scrubber 75 (2 units) – for large-scale deep scrubbing in internal areas

These robots now autonomously manage airport cleaning services across the first and second floors, including both passenger waiting areas and internal boarding zones, ensuring around-the-clock cleanliness with minimal manual intervention.
