Singapore-based robotics company Lionsbot International has named The Rex Cleaning Cobot, the latest large-scale cleaning solution in Bidvest Noonan’s portfolio, as the recipient of its Worldwide Best Performance Award for 2023.
Deployed at the Swords Pavilions shopping centre in Fingal, Dublin, Cleaning Cobot uses lidar, depth cameras, and sonar sensors to help it navigate and avoid collisions. The machine, which is the largest in the company’s range, can clean 4,000 square metres an hour and recharge, empties its wastewater tank and refills its solution tank automomously. Cleaning equipment supplier Clenli Direct assisted with its deployment.
Bidvest Noonan’s team at the shopping destination uses the machine for large area cleaning, freeing employees to focus on higher value tasks, enhancing overall productivity and service quality.

The award-winning Rex was chosen following an evaluation of performance metrics, such as square meterage cleaned per day, efficiency, and consistency.
Peter Smyth, Director of Innovation and Technology at Bidvest Noonan, says: “This recognition from Lionsbot International is a testament to our commitment to innovation and excellence.
“We are also grateful for the support of Clenli Direct throughout this journey. We are proud of our collaboration with Swords Pavilions and are thrilled to see the Rex making such a significant impact.”
