Problem
Inspecting critical infrastructure, such as metallic structures, can be difficult, costly, and dangerous for humans, while traditional methods may lack the accuracy and real-time data needed for effective asset management. Existing inspection techniques often lead to asset downtime and increased maintenance expenses due to delayed or incomplete data collection.
Solution
Acuity Robotics offers an integrated robotic platform and data analytics service that enables remote inspection of hard-to-reach metallic infrastructure. The company's proprietary robots, Squirrel and Stoat, capture real-time data and imagery, which is then processed and analyzed using the Infrastructure Insights Data Dashboard (ARIID). This system delivers asset monitoring, analysis, and reporting, providing critical intelligence for infrastructure owners and operators. By using robots, Acuity Robotics minimizes the need for human access, reducing safety risks and downtime, while the ARIID dashboard facilitates predictive maintenance and improved decision-making.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes infrastructure owners and operators responsible for maintaining metallic structures, such as those in the energy, utilities, and telecommunications sectors.
