Customer Challenge
The common challenges in routine inspections and maintenance activities today include:
- Safety Risks: Due to working at height in exposed structures, hazardous areas or harsh environments. All requiring extra protection and work processes.
- Labor Shortages: Due to the aging population and technical skills gap.
- Limited Information: Due to the limitation of human capabilities to acquire and process data accurately and efficiently.
Field Patrol
Field patrol with robots offers enhanced efficiency, continuous monitoring capabilities, and improved safety for personnel. Whilst there are also challenges presented in relations to technology integration, maintenance, and ethical considerations.
- The robots perform routine surveillance tasks at field autonomously, at a scheduled time and on demand.
- Robots become the “eyes,” “ears,” and “nose” of the plant with a combination of different sensors to detect anomalies and monitor the assets with AI analysis.
Color Degradation Diagnosis Using Robot with AI Solution
A color degradation diagnosis system employs a robot integrated with an AI image analyzer to assess objects for color changes. The sensors capture data on hue and brightness, which AI algorithms interpret to diagnose degradation severity. The system then flags items for maintenance, offering fast and accurate assessments to preserve object quality and value.
First Responder Solution
In emergency situations, deploying robots as first responders offers numerous advantages. Including the support for operators to assess the situation, gather critical data, and execute tasks such as deactivating equipment or assisting in rescue efforts.
- With the robot integration platform and DCS, the robots continuously provide real-time feedback to the command center, enabling responders to formulate effective strategies and mitigate safety risks.
