Product: Robotic Swimming Pool Cleaner Company: Maytronics Start of Development: 1983
At the beginning of the 1980’s, Kibbutz Yizre’el decided that their electronics factory would begin focusing on developing a product that was, at the time, considered innovative: a robot for cleaning swimming pools. 35 years have passed since the foundation of Maytronics and its market value is today estimated at 2 billion shekels.
Maytronics develops, manufactures and markets solutions for treating private and public swimming pools, the flagship product being the DOLPHIN line of products. Aside from the robots, the company also has a range of additional pool products including safety accessories and water treatment systems, all characterized by their advanced technology.
Today’s DOLPHIN is a smart robot that learns the shape of the pool and moves within it using sensors and advanced navigation software. It contains a filtration system, a brushing system for removing bacteria and algae and is capable of avoiding obstacles. By means of an IoT card that is connected to Cloud infrastructure, the robot can be operated and programmed via a smartphone.
The Israeli company Maytronics is at the forefront of global robotic technology and takes pride in its environment-friendly products. Using innovative technologies, Maytronics’ DOPLHIN can transform the cleaning of a pool into an ecological process that saves energy, water and chemicals. The end result is a clean, healthy and safe pool with easy and economical maintenance, in terms of both water and electricity.
Maytronics’ share of the global market stands at approximately 41 percent with an estimated 2 billion people using its products.
The company has 3 subsidiaries in the United States, France and Australia and 80 distributors worldwide. The company’s headquarters are located at Kibbutz Yizre’el and it has 2 manufacture locations at Kibbutz Yizre’el and Dalton.
With about 20 million pools around the world still lacking an automatic management solution, Maytronics intends to continue innovating well into the future.
