Autonomous Cleaning Robots for Des Moines, IA Facilities
CenoBots floor scrubbers — starting at $24,000. Serving insurance campuses, healthcare systems, convention venues, schools, and distribution centers across Des Moines and the greater metro. Same-week on-site demos.
The Challenge
The Des Moines Facility Cleaning Challenge
Des Moines is the insurance capital of the United States — Principal Financial, Nationwide, EMC Insurance, Wellmark Blue Cross Blue Shield. That concentration of corporate headquarters means massive campus floor areas and white-collar wages that make custodial recruitment nearly impossible.
Principal Financial, Nationwide, and Wellmark collectively occupy millions of square feet of corporate campus. Cleaning those campuses at the standard their employees expect requires either an army of staff or automation.
Iowa Events Center and Wells Fargo Arena run a continuous calendar of conventions, concerts, and sporting events. High-frequency, high-traffic cleaning can’t depend on inconsistent staffing.
UnityPoint Health and MercyOne are competing for the same custodial labor pool. Healthcare wages have set a new floor for all cleaning staff compensation in the metro.
The Ankeny/Urbandale/West Des Moines growth corridor is adding new commercial facilities faster than the labor market can staff them. Automation is the only answer that scales.
Why CenoBots
Technology That Actually Works
CenoBots aren't toy robots with a mop attached. They're purpose-built autonomous floor scrubbers with enterprise-grade technology.
3D LiDAR Navigation
96-beam 3D LiDAR vs competitors’ 2D. Detects hanging objects, glass walls, and protruding obstacles that flat scanners miss entirely.
Shared Map Technology
All CenoBots models share the same map. Start with an L3, upgrade to an L50 later — it just works. Drop-in replacement anytime.
Full Autonomous Workstation
Auto-charging, water refilling, detergent filling. Set it and forget it. Competitors require manual refills between runs.
NVIDIA AI Processing
100 TOPS AI chip for real-time obstacle avoidance, stain detection, and automatic map adaptation. The smartest cleaning robot on the market.
Pricing
Half the Price of the Competition
Same facility, better clean, fraction of the cost.

Industries
Industries We Serve in Des Moines & Greater Metro
Healthcare
UnityPoint Health (Iowa Methodist), MercyOne Des Moines, Broadlawns Medical Center, and VA Central Iowa — competing health systems fighting over the same shrinking pool of custodial labor.
Insurance & Corporate
Principal Financial Group HQ, Nationwide, EMC Insurance, Wellmark Blue Cross Blue Shield, and Meredith Corp — massive corporate campus floor areas where cleaning staff turnover is a daily operational risk.
Education
Des Moines Public Schools (60+ buildings), Drake University, DMACC, Iowa State (45 minutes away), and Ankeny CSD — a large K-12 and higher ed footprint with chronic custodial vacancies.
Government
Iowa State Capitol, Polk County buildings, federal courthouse, and state office complex — government facilities with compliance-driven standards and public-sector budget constraints.
Distribution
I-80/I-35 interchange hub — Amazon DSP3, Hy-Vee distribution, USPS network distribution center, and Deere distribution. 24/7 operations mean constant floor contamination and round-the-clock cleaning demand.
Convention & Hospitality
Iowa Events Center, Wells Fargo Arena, Marriott Downtown, Hilton Garden Inn, and Community Choice Credit Union Convention Center — high-traffic venues where presentation and cleanliness are non-negotiable.
