Tokyo/Japan – Yokogawa Electric Corporation and Anybotics have signed a partnership agreement which will see Yokogawa’s Oprex Robot Management Core software integrated with the software stack of Anybotics’ lineup of Anymal robots, including the Anymal X explosion-proof robot. By integrating the management of explosion- and non-explosion-proof robots that conduct autonomous inspections of industrial facilities, the two companies aim to develop new opportunities in the oil & gas, power, and metals industries.

Oprex Robot Management Core is a key product in Yokogawa’s robot solutions. The software helps customers maintain their facilities more safely and efficiently by integrating the management of various types of robots that perform plant maintenance tasks conventionally carried out by humans. When connected to plant control systems, the data acquired can be used to issue instructions to robots, thus enabling the first step to be taken toward autonomous plant operations. The latest version of Oprex Robot Management Core supports Anymal and will integrate with Anybotics’ existing proprietary software stack.
