Yokogawa and Anybotics to Provide Integrated Solution for Explosion-Proof and Non-Explosion-Proof Robot Management for Autonomous Inspection of Plant Equipment
Yokogawa Electric Corporation and Swiss company ANYbotics AG have signed a partnership agreement to integrate Yokogawa’s OpreX™ Robot Management Core software with the software stack of Anybotics’ robot lineup, including the explosion-proof ANYmal X robot.
By providing an integrated solution for managing explosion-proof and non-explosion-proof robots that perform autonomous inspections of plant equipment, the two companies aim to develop new business in industries such as oil and gas, power generation, and metals.
ANYmal is an autonomous, remotely controlled quadrupedal inspection robot equipped with highly sensitive sensors that provide sensing capabilities that exceed those of humans. It was developed specifically for inspection work in harsh industrial environments, and is protected from the intrusion of water and dust.
Yokogawa’s Robot Management Core is a key product in Yokogawa’s robot solutions. It enables safe and efficient equipment maintenance by centrally managing various types of robots that perform plant maintenance tasks traditionally performed by humans.
