METHOD FOR OPERATING A SYSTEM WITH AT LEAST TWO AUTOMATICALLY MOVING FLOOR PROCESSING DEVICES AS WELL AS SYSTEM FOR IMPLEMENTING SUCH A METHOD

A method for operating a system with at least two floor processing devices includes detecting environmental features of an environment and generating an area map based on the detected features. The area map is divided into partial areas that are assigned to the floor processing devices so that each partial area is only processed by one of the floor processing devices. A movement route and a movement timespan of the floor processing device is detected and stored with the area map. Several partial areas are combined into partial area groups, and the partial areas are allocated to the floor processing devices based on the stored movement route and movement timespan so that a floor processing of a first partial area group by a first floor processing device takes place at essentially the same time as a floor processing of a second partial area group by a second floor processing device ends.
