ANYbotics, a global leader in AI-driven robotic inspection, has announced a strategic partnership with Equans, a leading provider of energy and services, to revolutionize offshore asset management in Europe’s renewable energy sector. Through this partnership, Equans has chosen ANYbotics’ flagship robot, ANYmal, as its preferred solution for autonomous inspections, asset monitoring, and maintenance, marking a significant step towards safer, more efficient, and sustainable offshore operations.
ANYmal’s advanced robotics capabilities bring unprecedented automation to offshore environments, transforming traditional workflows with real-time data collection and asset monitoring. Built to withstand challenging conditions, ANYmal combines rugged design with autonomous functionality, enabling comprehensive monitoring and inspection in high-risk offshore areas. ANYmal’s autonomous navigation and precision make it an ideal choice for Equans’ offshore operations, enhancing both safety and productivity.
In addition to direct purchase options, Equans will offer ANYmal through a Robot-as-a-Service (RaaS) model, providing customers with flexible implementation, expert training, and ongoing support. This model will support both existing and new offshore platforms across Europe, giving operators access to proactive maintenance solutions that reduce human risk and drive cost efficiency.
The benefits of this collaboration extend across offshore operations:
- Increased Operational Efficiency: ANYmal performs up to 50% of platform inspection tasks, including visual, thermal, and acoustic inspections, delivering faster, more accurate results.
- Enhanced Safety: By minimizing human exposure to hazardous environments, ANYmal significantly improves offshore safety.
- Cost and Environmental Savings: The robotic solution reduces downtime, maintenance costs, and on-site interventions, furthering sustainability by decreasing carbon emissions.
ANYbotics and Equans are leading the way in transforming offshore renewable energy operations, setting a benchmark for automated, sustainable, and high-performance maintenance. This collaboration reflects their shared commitment to excellence and innovation in the energy industry.
