Insights
Tennant's launch of the X6 ROVR autonomous floor scrubber represents a strategic expansion of their robotic cleaning portfolio into larger commercial and light-industrial environments. This mid-sized model complements their compact X4 ROVR, allowing Tennant to address a broader range of facility sizes with autonomous solutions.
The X6 ROVR's ability to clean 75,000 square feet per cycle with minimal human intervention directly addresses the staffing challenges mentioned by CEO Dave Huml. This positions Tennant's autonomous technology as a practical solution to operational inefficiencies in large-scale environments where labor shortages are particularly problematic.
What's particularly notable is the optional XC1 docking station that enables autonomous recharging between cleaning cycles. This feature significantly reduces the need for human supervision and creates an additional hardware revenue stream beyond the base unit.
Tennant's partnership with Brain Corp for the AI-driven autonomy platform demonstrates a platform approach rather than just hardware sales. The integrated reporting tools and fleet management capabilities suggest Tennant is building an ecosystem around their autonomous products that could provide ongoing value beyond the initial equipment purchase.
With immediate availability and customer testimonials indicating "measurable results" with the existing ROVR platform, this product appears market-ready rather than conceptual, indicating confidence in customer adoption.
The X6 ROVR represents significant technical advancement in Tennant's autonomous mobile robot (AMR) capabilities. The integration of 3D LiDAR sensors and real-time obstacle detection provides the sophisticated environmental awareness necessary for safe operation in dynamic industrial settings - a considerable engineering achievement for a cleaning machine.
The 26-inch dual-disc scrub path combined with 25-gallon solution tanks strikes an optimal balance between coverage efficiency and maneuverability. The lithium-ion power system's six-hour runtime ensures practical deployment across large facilities without frequent charging interruptions.
What separates this from basic automation is the machine's cognitive abilities: real-time rerouting allows the unit to adapt to changing environments rather than following fixed paths. This flexibility is crucial for adoption in unpredictable commercial settings where static routes would quickly become impractical.
The data-driven reporting capabilities transform what would otherwise be just a cleaning device into a facility intelligence tool. This opens possibilities for operation optimization beyond mere labor replacement.
For a company with $1.29 billion in 2024 sales, this product line extension demonstrates Tennant's commitment to technological leadership in their core market. By leveraging BrainOS® across multiple product categories, Tennant creates development efficiencies while building an ecosystem approach to autonomous cleaning solutions.
Built for commercial and light-industrial environments, the mid-sized robotic scrubber delivers maximum floor coverage with minimal human assists to meet rising demands for smarter cleaning

“As organizations continue to face staffing shortages, automating routine cleaning tasks provides a clear and proven path to operational efficiencies,” said Dave Huml, President and CEO of Tennant Company. “We built the X6 ROVR to tackle this challenge — delivering dependable, autonomous performance across large-scale and complex environments, so cleaning teams can stay focused on higher-impact work.”
Powered by Brain Corp’s AI-driven autonomy platform, BrainOS®, the X6 ROVR delivers reliable, high-performance, and trustworthy autonomous operation for navigating real-world environments at proven scale. With an optional autonomous docking station, the X6 ROVR can recharge itself between cleaning cycles, helping increase productivity and reduce manual intervention. Other key features include:
- Extended cleaning range with high-capacity tanks and Lithium-ion power: The X6 ROVR uses a 26-inch dual-disc scrub path and 25-gallon solution and recovery tanks to clean up to 75,000 square feet on a single tank. Lithium-ion batteries support up to six hours of continuous runtime.
- Mid-sized design and next-level maneuverability: The X6 ROVR’s thoughtfully designed footprint and advanced 3D LiDAR allow it to operate efficiently in both open spaces and congested areas. Real-time obstacle detection and adaptive routing help ensure safe, consistent performance in dynamic environments.
- Autonomous operation with real-time routing and performance tracking: BrainOS® delivers proven autonomous operation with real-time rerouting capabilities for more intelligent navigation, remote deployment, and enterprise-level fleet management tools for performance tracking. Built-in reporting tools provide data-driven insights and help facility leaders monitor progress and drive improvements.
“Our customers in small retail, education, and healthcare sectors have seen measurable results with the ROVR platform. Now we are bringing that technology to small industrial and large commercial facilities with the X6 ROVR,” said Seth Rourke, Vice President of Global Product Management at Tennant Company. “The product truly stands out for its unique ability to deliver high-capacity, high-performance cleaning while remaining incredibly nimble, maneuverable, and compact.”
The X6 ROVR will be available for purchase on April 15, 2025. For more information about the ROVR product suite and Tennant’s ongoing investment in AMR technology, visit https://www.tennantco.com/en_us/1/machines/scrubbers/product.x6-rovr.autonomous-floor-scrubber.m-x6rovr.html.
