At Carey Cleaning Machines, we are excited to introduce this groundbreaking innovation from Tennant, an autonomous sweeping solution designed to support businesses facing increasing demands, tight schedules, and ongoing staffing challenges.

Instead, it is designed to work alongside cleaning teams, helping them achieve more in less time while allowing staff to focus on higher-value and more detailed cleaning tasks. This balanced approach between automation and human expertise reflects the direction modern facilities are moving in.
For businesses across Ireland and Northern Ireland, Carey Cleaning Machines is proud to provide access, support, servicing, and flexible purchasing options for this next generation cleaning solution.
What makes the Tennant X16 Sweep autonomous sweeper a breakthrough in cleaning?
The Tennant X16 Sweep autonomous sweeper is Tennant’s first fully autonomous industrial sweeper, engineered for demanding environments such as warehouses, logistics centres, manufacturing plants, and large commercial facilities.
Powered by BrainOS® AI technology, the machine navigates independently, maps its environment, and adjusts its cleaning path in real time. This makes it especially effective in busy environments where layouts and obstacles frequently change.
Key features include:
150L high-capacity hopper for extended cleaning cycles
Smart-Sense™ technology for real-time operational feedback
Visual Intelligence system for adaptive navigation
DustShield™ system for superior dust control
Up to 6 hours runtime with lithium-ion battery power
3D LiDAR and advanced obstacle detection for safe operation
The Tennant X16 Sweep autonomous sweeper delivers consistent, reliable performance while significantly reducing manual intervention.
Autonomous cleaning that works alongside your team
In modern facilities, cleaning teams handle a wide variety of tasks that require judgement, attention to detail, and flexibility. The autonomous sweeper takes care of repetitive, large area floor cleaning so staff can focus on:
Detail cleaning and finishing work
Hygiene-critical areas
Machine supervision and route setup
Quality control and compliance tasks
This combination of automation and human skill leads to better efficiency and improved cleaning outcomes overall.
