SINGAPORE, April 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Primech AI Pte. Ltd. ("Primech AI" or the “Company”), a subsidiary of Primech Holdings Limited (Nasdaq: PMEC), today announced the deployment of its Hytron autonomous bathroom cleaning robots in a multi-storey school environment. The project represents a significant commercial milestone for autonomous cleaning solutions in facility management.
Primech AI was selected as one of the finalists of the Innovation Challenge by the Ministry of Education (MOE) and the Ministry of Digital Development and Information (MDDI) launched on the Infocomm Media Development Authority’s (IMDA) Open Innovation Platform1. The challenge sought a solution to enhance cleaning of toilet facilities in multi-storey school buildings to reduce reliance on manpower and enhance cleaning efficiency, while overcoming existing infrastructure limitations. Primech AI was awarded prize funding for prototype development and pilot testing.
Hytron is a fully autonomous, AI-powered bathroom cleaning robot designed to revolutionise hygiene in high-traffic facilities. With advanced 3D-cleaning capabilities and electrolysed water technology, Hytron ensures consistent, high-quality cleaning while significantly reducing manual labor. The latest model features the cutting-edge NVIDIA Jetson Orin Super — a compact yet powerful System-on-Module (SoM) built for advanced-edge AI and robotics. This integration enables exceptional energy efficiency, real-time data processing, and intelligent navigation, making Hytron a highly scalable and future-ready solution for smart facility management.
As part of the 12-month pilot programme, Primech AI will deploy one Hytron unit at Dunman High School. The pilot aims to address key operational challenges in public facilities, including labor shortages and maintenance of consistent standards of cleanliness. Hytron's capabilities include autonomous navigation in confined spaces, scheduled cleaning cycles with real-time monitoring, electrolysed water disinfection protocols, and autonomous charging operations, positioning the technology for broader commercial adoption across healthcare, transportation, and commercial real estate sectors. This would be continuous to reinforce Hytron as one of the first movers in national-scale autonomous cleaning in Singapore while we pursuit international opportunities in parallel.
"This collaboration represents significant validation of our technology readiness for infrastructure deployment," said Charles Ng, Chief Operating Officer of Primech AI. “We are proud to work with forward-thinking government partners in paving the way for AI-enabled cleaning across Singapore and beyond.”
