DELIVERING VALUE IN A HIGHLY COMPETITIVE sector
Robotic Inspection In Power & Utilities
As the global economy grows, so too does the global demand for electricity. This has been true even with the setback of the COVID-19 pandemic, with electricity demand rebounding robustly in 2021 and into 2022. Decade-by-decade demand will be in constant ascendancy, which means that competition will remain high in the power sector, especially as renewable energy gains momentum in the national grids of many countries. Autonomous robotic inspection is already playing a leading role in helping companies scale and meet the constantly increasing demand.

AUTOMATING inspection in ELECTRIC POWER FACILITIES
THE Need: RISE IN REMOTE INFRASTRUCTURE
Accurate and reliable inspection of power generation and distribution facilities are crucial for reliably and safely transmitting electricity to customers. The rise in renewable energy has led to the decentralisation of power infrastructure and entailed an increase in remote substations. Power generation facilities are also often hazardous, making human inspection inconvenient and potentially dangerous. Furthermore, the repetitive nature of inspection rounds in energy production and distribution facilities creates a waning attention risk for human inspectors leading to errors in the inspection of critical equipment.
Rise in the number of remotely located substations
Safety and environmental risks
The repetitive nature of routine inspections has a waning attention risk for humans
Shortage of qualified personnel
the solution: ROBOTIC INSPECTION
Our software is applied to a fleet of diverse robots that are well-suited to handle the difficulties and dangers of workplaces in the power and utilities sector. Through our end-to-end autonomous inspection solution power production and distribution plants can be remotely monitored in a cost-efficient manner. Hazardous and hard-to-reach areas can be easily traversed by robots, reducing risk to humans.
We at Energy Robotics are in the business of developing and providing cutting-edge software solutions that enable robots to undertake intelligent, customized inspections at clients’ facilities. These solutions can be adapted to a host of different electrical production and distribution facilities, including substations, power generation plants, hydroelectric plants and solar or wind farms.
The increase in renewable energy entails an increase in remote renewable energy transmission facilities, which can be inspected by robots autonomously and cost-effectively. Some sites can be so remote that simply getting to them on a regular basis for inspections can be extremely difficult and inefficient to achieve. Inclement weather, resulting in heavy snowfall in winter or heavy rains in summer, for example, can also impede the viability of employees undertaking inspections. Brain-powered with our software, robots can perform continuous inspection tasks without any problem, something that an employee would find difficult to do in terms of time and logistics.
