ANYbotics and Sol7 have teamed up in Oman to transform industrial inspection. This partnership introduces ANYbotics’ cutting-edge robotic solution, ANYmal, tailored to the specific needs of Oman’s key industries. By utilizing Sol7’s local expertise, this collaboration is set to significantly enhance inspection capabilities, reshaping the regional inspection landscape and establishing a new benchmark for operational excellence.
Bringing Automated Inspection to Oil & Gas in Oman
Oman plays a crucial role in the global energy market, with the state-owned Petroleum Development Oman (PDO) managing most of the country's oil reserves and serving as its largest oil and gas operator. Recently, Sol7 deployed ANYmal as part of its initiative to evaluate robotic inspections at a RHIP station. RHIP is an integrated oil and gas development located in the Rabab and Harweel reservoirs in southern Oman.
During this deployment, ANYmal utilized a 3D map generated from a digital twin in point cloud format to autonomously navigate the facility and access 261 designated inspection points. These checkpoints included visual inspections, autonomous level measurements, thermal assessments, and frequency analysis.
Sol7 has extensive experience in supporting the automation of key industries in Oman and will therefore be an excellent partner for ANYbotics to meet the increasing demands of customers in this market. — Satschin Bansal, Global VP Strategic Alliances & Partnerships, ANYbotics.
ANYmal is a robust, autonomous, and highly mobile inspection solution designed with mission-ready payloads for industrial inspections and condition monitoring in complex and hazardous environments. As a comprehensive solution, ANYmal automates real-time data collection and integration through exceptional mobility, autonomy, and intelligence. It offers plant operators valuable insights to optimize equipment uptime, lower operating costs, and enhance safety by keeping workers out of danger.
The collaboration between Sol7 and ANYbotics highlights the increasing demand for automated, robotic inspection in the Oil & Gas, Metals, and Power Utilities sectors. Sol7 will deliver unparalleled autonomous inspection solutions by leveraging its expertise in Automation Technologies, System Integration for Renewable Energy, and Oil & Gas leak detection services.
Collaboration Unlocks New Condition Monitoring Possibilities
Our partnership with ANYbotics is transforming industrial inspections in Oman’s oil and gas sector. Together, we’re driving efficiency, safety, and innovation through cutting-edge autonomous solutions. — Mohammed Al Barashdy, Co-founder, Sol7.
Sol7 offers ANYmal inspection solutions for direct purchase or through a subscription model via Robotics-as-a-Service (RaaS). Additionally, it provides various local support services, customer training, and technical expertise to guarantee successful implementation and operation.
This partnership was recently announced at the ANYbotics Industry Forum 2024 (AIF) in Zurich. The AIF is an annual event organized by ANYbotics, bringing together prominent figures and experts from the global industrial inspection ecosystem.
