Cleaning inside the Skypod system

131

Get ready for work—you must wear:

  • A work shirt and pants,
  • Work shoes with composite toe caps,
  • Work gloves,
  • A helmet, safety glasses,
  • A reflective vest.

Before you start work, remember that you must:

  • Complete health and safety training and on-the-job training.
  • Have no health contraindications to performing the work.
  • Be familiar with the operating instructions for the machines, equipment, and tools used in the workplace.

Before starting work:

  • Prepare the necessary equipment and materials to perform the assigned work. 
  • Check the condition of personal protective equipment. 
  • Make sure that the area to be cleaned is safe (production or storage process shut down). 
  • Ensure that the system has been shut down by an authorized employee.

During work:

  • Keep your surroundings tidy.
  • Use only equipment that is in good working order, in accordance with its intended use and instructions.
  • Ask an Exotec employee to activate "cleaning mode," wait until the system is shut down, then clean under the conveyors and at the stations.
  • Collect trash (e.g., pieces of cardboard, paper) from the space between the racks and on the robot paths. 
  • Vacuum the floor and wash it with a mop and clean water. Use a small amount of water so that the surface dries as quickly as possible. 
  • Vacuum the stations with a vacuum cleaner with a nozzle designed for this task (40 cm wide).
  • After degreasing, wash and dry the floor with a scrubber or mop (including in hard-to-reach areas).
  • Do not place equipment on traffic routes or in areas with limited visibility.
  • Empty trash cans into a collection bag; do not compact the trash.
  • When emptying the bin by hand, wear protective gloves and exercise caution.
  • If you see an obstacle on a transport route, especially a fire route, remove it and put it in its designated place.
  • Place warning signs (Caution: slippery!) if the floor has been freshly washed.
  • Report any damaged or missing signs to your supervisor.
  • Immediately report any missing or displaced firefighting equipment.
  • If you notice a fire, immediately call the fire department and notify your supervisor.

After finishing work:

  • Tidy up your workplace.
  • If you have not finished your work, secure the area so that it does not pose a threat to the surroundings.
  • Clean your tools and equipment and then put them back in their designated place.
  • Walk through the aisles and check that the boxes are correctly positioned on the shelves (they should not protrude beyond the shelves).
  • Notify your supervisor that the work has been completed and report it to the service engineer so that they can resume the Skypod system operation.

What NOT to do?

  • Operate mechanical and electrical equipment without authorization and knowledge of how to operate it.
  • Lift weights exceeding the permissible lifting standards.
  • Place harmful materials in prohibited areas.
  • Place ladders on tables, desks, or similar surfaces.
  • Move information or warning signs on your own.
  • Store rags on radiators and central heating pipes.
  • Use gasoline or other flammable solvents to clean floors.
  • Use cleaning agents other than neutral ones.
  • Work without the required personal protective equipment.
  • Remove protective covers and signs.
  • Repair equipment used to perform work yourself.
  • Repair electrical equipment or touch live wires.
  • Light work areas with portable lamps with a voltage exceeding 24 V.
  • Allow unauthorized persons to work at the workstation.
  • Block passageways and access to the work area, firefighting equipment, and power switches.

Failure or accident?

  • If something breaks down, immediately disconnect the device from the power supply, secure it against being switched on again, and report the fault to your supervisor or an Exotec employee. 
  • If an accident has occurred, do not move anything and inform your supervisor.
  • If the robot is flooded with water, move to a safe distance, remember/write down the location of the incident and the robot number, then inform A1 Sorter about the situation on site or by calling 795 544 943.
