Yokogawa Electric Corporation and the Swiss company ANYbotics have entered into a strategic alliance to integrate the OpreX Robot Management Core software with the ANYmal family of robots. This collaboration makes it possible to manage from a single platform both conventional robots as well as those certified for hazardous areas, such as the ANYmal X model, suitable for ATEX and IECEx Zone 1 environments.
The integration of OpreX software allows ANYmal inspection robots to be connected to plant control systems, generating a unified digital ecosystem. This enables autonomous inspection operations, data collection and remote execution of maintenance tasks, optimizing the safety and efficiency of operations.
ANYmal robots in critical industrial environments
Designed to perform in complex industrial installations, ANYmal combines advanced sensors with quadruped mobility that allows it to travel in hard-to-reach areas. With IP67 protection and explosion-proof versions, it is ideal for industries such as oil and gas, energy and mining.
The combination of OpreX y ANYmal enables the transformation of critical asset management in industrial operations. Thanks to real-time data analytics and response automation, operators can act predictively, reducing downtime and raising the standard of operational safety. operational safety.
Expansion strategy with a global focus
Both companies aim to expand this integrated solution in the Asian and Middle Eastern energy markets, where the demand for hazardous area inspections continues to continues to grow. This technological synergy marks a significant step forward on the road to fully digitized and autonomous plants.
