About CleanBotix
Who We Are
CleanBotix is a robotics startup founded by Clean Logix, a leading innovator in sanitation technology for the food and beverage industry. CleanBotix was born from our founder, Adam Jacques’ vision for revolutionizing sanitation through automation. Adam has worked in the industry for over 15 years and has been searching for a smarter way to clean.
The Rosie Project was started in January 2024 to develop the first sanitation robot designed to meet the needs of the food & beverage production industry.
Our Unique Position
Our mission is simple: deliver a smarter, safer, and more consistent clean—every shift. Unlike other robotics companies, CleanBotix is uniquely positioned with industry-specific insight and relationships.
Rosie the Food Plant Sanitation Robot
We saw a need in the industry that isn't being met. Sanitation in the food and beverage processing industry is costly, inconsistent, and labor-intensive. Sanitation-related recalls alone cost the industry $2B annually. Sanitation workers are difficult to hire and retain, with turnover rates as high as 300%. Staffing challenges result in production downtime, costing the industry $10M annually.
Rosie transforms sanitation into a repeatable, auditable, and efficient process, helping to reduce recalls and increase plant uptime and brand protection.
Leadership Team
Our leadership team has extensive experience in starting and building successful technology companies. Combining this experience with deep industry knowledge, relationship capital, and a track record of modernizing industries positions CleanBotix to revolutionize food industry sanitation.
