Things can easily spiral out of control in industrial plants if appropriate safety measures and timely supervision is not carried out properly. One simple mistake could prove fatal for everyone working at the plant as well as cause irreplaceable damage to the overall facility, thus leading to heavy losses. This is the reason why industry leaders give great importance to technologies that will assist them to keep their plants safe, productive and running efficiently without any downtime. One these vital solutions are supervision technologies such as advanced robots and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or drones.

Autonomous mobile robots and explosion-proof robots

Advanced and revolutionary robots such as autonomous mobile robots and explosion-proof robots have become popular across industrial plants owing to their numerous benefits. For instance, repetitive, time-consuming and real-time inspections of mammoth plants can now be carried out in an automated way and that too with high accuracy with autonomous mobile robots. Equipped with cameras and sensors, these robots are capable of collecting data and also help to monitor the health of numerous equipment at the plant which is a crucial aspect for the smooth functioning of overall operations, thus saving valuable time for the staff. Predictive maintenance measures are also undertaken with the help of this routine which assists operators to take informed and timely decisions to avoid major accidents and unscheduled shutdowns.
