Security patrol robot — Refinery

The challenge

Conditions on site — heat, dust, vibration and patchy connectivity — had defeated two earlier attempts at this in refinery.

What we built

Built in our Motera lab, validated on a replica rig, then commissioned on site in days using ROS 2 and Thermal.

Delivery timeline

1. Phase 1

   Discovery sprint and site survey

2. Phase 2

   Prototype built and tested in the Motera lab

3. Phase 3

   Pilot on site with before/after measurement

4. Phase 4

   Scale-out, training and handover

Highlights

• Runs on-premises; no data leaves the site unless agreed
• Remote monitoring and over-the-air updates included
• Safety case reviewed with the client's EHS team
