THE FUTURE IS ROBOTICS
Here to shape the inspection industry of tomorrow, where safety meets efficiency.
While inspection has always been a crucial aspect for the smooth operation of any industry, it is still today confronting a number of important challenges where human protection, efficiency and sustainability are more than ever the centre of concerns.
Today equipping workers with personal protective equipment, continually training them on practicing safety procedures while keeping them up to date on new equipment and inspection techniques can be a complex process. Consequently, it is time consuming and expensive for companies to conform to stringent industrial standards while maintaining a safe workplace and protecting workers from harm when tasks at remote and harsh locations need to be executed.
Through innovation, Sonobotics enables new applications for robotic platforms by introducing unique sensing technologies to create the inspection industry of tomorrow.
ROBOTICS MEETS NDT
We believe that the success towards the implementation of robotics for inspection tasks depends on the seamless integration of NDT and robotic technologies.
Our technology has enabled, for the first time, the introduction of EMATs deployable by all kinds of robotic platforms.
Such platforms, interwove with the development of advanced sensing technologies, creating :
LOW COST SYSTEMS rugged enough to survive in industrial operations
AUTONOMOUS OPERATION requiring no human intervention
LOW-POWER DEMANDS crucial for intrinsically safe operation
WIRELESS COMMUNICATION for seamless system integration
Years of academic research have led to the development of novel technologies which can deliver the necessary tools for all types of inspection robots.
NDT inspection through robotics
Significant technological innovation has allowed NDT inspection to become viable for robotic platforms:
ENERGY EFFICIENCY
Years of R&D in the pursuit of higher energy efficiency has led to the development of system electronics which meet the performance, power consumption, size, and weight requirements for successful robotic implementation.
TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATION
Seamless integration of NDT sensors with robotic platforms has meant an effective marriage of such technologies both at the software and hardware levels.
ROBOTIC DEVELOPMENT
The emergence of semi and fully autonomous systems has accelerated the move towards the adoption of robotic platforms in industry to perform safe and consistent inspection.
