Use cases

Start with the work that matters.

Proposed applications for pilot development with operators and technology partners.

Transport depots

Initial focus

Operational challenge: Checks on chargers, vehicles and depot equipment can be recorded in different places, which makes them hard to compare and follow up.
Proposed robotic task: Observations of selected accessible equipment and inspection points along a set route.
Intended benefit: A consistent record for each asset that maintenance can act on.
The pilot must validate: Depot traffic, access, the data available and the connection to the operator's systems.

Initial focus

Operational challenge: Pumping stations and utility facilities are spread out, and conditions can be hard to compare between visits.
Proposed robotic task: Inspection of suitable facilities or confined assets, depending on the platform and access.
Intended benefit: A comparable history of each installation.
The pilot must validate: Measurement conditions, access and a route the platform can follow safely.

Initial focus

Operational challenge: Early signs of wear can be difficult to observe consistently between scheduled checks.
Proposed robotic task: Repeatable observations of selected equipment and operating areas.
Intended benefit: Findings that can be compared over time and followed through to maintenance.
The pilot must validate: Sensor suitability, background noise and a comparison with the current manual inspection.

Initial focus

Operational challenge: Some equipment can only be observed from permitted positions, under specific procedures.
Proposed robotic task: Inspection of selected accessible assets with suitable sensors.
Intended benefit: Evidence a specialist can use to prioritise checks.
The pilot must validate: Load conditions, visibility, access and the site's safety procedures.

Further applications

Operational challenge: On large installations, locating potential issues and confirming what was done about them takes time.
Proposed robotic task: Observations that help locate and review potential issues.
Intended benefit: A clear link between the observation, the work done and the result.
The pilot must validate: How anomalies are confirmed, weather conditions and the configuration of the installation.

Further applications

Operational challenge: Moving materials or checking areas within a site takes staff time and can be hard to trace.
Proposed robotic task: Selected material movement or inspection tasks, depending on site conditions.
Intended benefit: Traceable tasks with a clear handover.
The pilot must validate: Volumes, loading, handover, doors, lifts and shared spaces.
