BRUSSELS, Oct. 15,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Rockwell Automation, Inc. (NYSE:
ROK), the world's largest company dedicated to industrial
automation and digital transformation, today announced it has
signed an agreement with Taurob (Dietsmann Group) to provide a
holistic robotic solution that would enable industrial
organizations to move towards autonomous operations in their
facilities. Taurob designs and manufactures ground robots for
inspection, maintenance and data collection to optimize and enhance
efficiency on a variety of industrial sites.
Kalypso, Rockwell's digital services business, and Taurob will
work together to provide clients with an end-to-end robotic
automation solution that will herald the next phase in industrial
automation and transformation. This partnership will amplify
Rockwell's position as a leader in robot automation and digital
twin solutions and Taurob's position as a leader in ground robots
for industrial inspection.
"In working towards the goal of autonomous operations, many
industrial companies have considered the design of facilities,
connectivity, digital solutions, and artificial intelligence, but
manual inspection of facilities is still commonplace," said
Matt Graves, Kalypso digital
principal, process industries. "As a next phase in industrial
automation, companies are now looking at how to automate fleets of
inspection robots using digital twin and Industrial Internet of
Things (IIoT) technologies. This partnership will be a huge step in
helping our clients meet their efficiency, net zero, and safety
goals."
Taurob's robots can perform missions under harsh environmental
conditions to gather video, audio and sensor data, detect gas leaks
and manipulate valves while adhering to the strictest industry
safety standards and supporting customers' net-zero
initiatives.
Autonomous operations have long been an aspiration across
industrial process sectors such as oil and gas, mining, and
chemicals due to the hazardous working environments. In fact,
Taurob's robots are ATEX certified, a strict and compulsory
certification that allows them to work especially in the oil and
gas industry. They also offer high resistance to hot environments
and up to four hours of mission runtime, among other
advantages.
Kalypso and Taurob will provide a holistic solution from the
physical robot and sensors, through to the robot supervision
software, for mission data analysis using AI/ML and systems
integration. This will allow organizations to move towards
autonomous operations with the business value of a solution for
inspection and maintenance that increases personnel safety, reduces
OPEX and improves production throughput.
"Our partnership with Rockwell will become a game changer with
respect to scaling our unique ATEX-certified robots around the
world," said Taurob's co-founder and managing director,
Matthias Biegl. "Our respective
expertise complements one another to offer an integrated solution,
in addition to which we will be able to streamline sales and
marketing efforts to optimize and enhance efficiency for our
clients on a variety of industrial sites."
