Whether on industrial or strategic sites, effective facility maintenance management guarantees the safety, profitability and continuity of a company’s operations. Environmental risks, financial losses, security breaches, non-compliance – a whole host of problems can arise. So how can we move towards more reactive maintenance? Autonomous robots and on-board technology seem to be part of the answer…
Discover how the GR100 robot can transform the safety of your facilities by detecting anomalies before they become major problems.
Aimed at anticipating potential failures in equipment and installations, preventive maintenance is based on regular inspections, tests and planned actions. The aim is toidentify early warning signs of problems and to intervene before a breakdown occurs.
In practice, this means regular maintenance schedules, planned parts replacements and preventive adjustments.
This approach reduces the risk of unexpected breakdowns, optimises equipment performance and saves on the costs of emergency repairs.
Safety managers are often faced with delays in detecting anomalies, leading to increased risks and high costs. Manual inspections do not always guarantee complete coverage and can overlook early signs of problems. The GR100 robot automates monitoring, collecting reliable data and alerting only when critical thresholds are reached, reducing intervention and optimising plant safety.
The GR100 safety robot complements human skills with its on-board AI and intelligent sensors. The robot will automatically take thermographic measurements of strategic points, but it can also be equipped with various intelligent sensors to meet the needs expressed by our customers. For example, the GR100 on the GIE Osiris chemical platform is equipped with H2S, CH4 and HCL gas concentration sensors.
By monitoring external installations during its rounds, the robot is able to detect potential faults and alert operators in real time. For example, a gas concentration that is too high, which could be the result of a leak, or a temperature that exceeds the threshold set for the electricity meter, and so on. Measurements are taken regularly and reliably. Thanks to instantaneous data analysis and sophisticated algorithms, the GR100 transmits usable data in real time via the RB-OC* interface. This data can be consulted via dashboards.
This technology allows you to analyse data in real time or over a given period, identifying trends and predicting breakdowns before they occur. Operators can then plan targeted interventions and avoid costly downtime. By integrating the GR100 into your operations, field teams benefit from automated assistance, improving efficiency and facilitating proactive management of your sites’ sensitive installations.
The GR100 is particularly effective in this approach, thanks to its ability to carry out regular, systematic inspections, whatever the time of day or the weather conditions.
The advantages of the GR100 inspection robot :
The GR100 follows a pre-established inspection schedule, monitoring equipment and infrastructure autonomously.
If the threshold is exceeded, the robot instantly alerts the operators by SMS and/or email.
The data is collected completely autonomously by the safety robot and transmitted in real time to the RB-OC* platform.
Remedial maintenance is carried out when faults occur that require immediate corrective action. It is characterised by its reactive role. Its primary objective is to restore normal plant functionality, thereby minimising downtime, disruption and safety risks to operational processes.
In practice, this means regular maintenance schedules, planned replacement of parts and preventive adjustments.
This approach reduces the risk of unexpected breakdowns, optimises equipment performance and saves on the costs of emergency repairs.
Visualise optimised safety where every anomaly is detected instantly and every intervention is guided by accurate data. The GR100 robot transforms your approach to safety by providing alerts only for critical situations, ensuring a rapid and effective response while reducing the risks to your teams.
The GR100 mobile robot adds a layer of digitalisation to your existing corrective maintenance. Thanks to the alerts issued by the robot in the event of an abnormal measured value, operators are warned in real time via SMS and/or email. Depending on the operator’s geographical location, the robot can be used to remotely remove any doubts. At the Suez Clerac site, if the GR100 detects an abnormally high temperature, the on-call operator can remotely check to see if a fire has started. This improved responsiveness means that rapid action can be taken in the event of a breakdown or fault, reducing response times.
What’s more, the information gathered by the robot and the management of incidents are centralised and accessible in real time, providing complete visibility of the state of your outdoor installations.
Equipped with advanced sensors and real-time analysis systems, the GR100 is able to identify and report anomalies before they degenerate into major breakdowns. As a result, maintenance teams are guided more effectively through their work, helping to resolve problems more quickly.
The advantages of the GR100 outdoor robot:
Thanks to its on-board sensors, the GR100 is able to detect when thresholds for temperature, gas contraction, etc. are exceeded.
Operators are only alerted when necessary and do not need to monitor what the robot is doing.
The robot generates information in real time, enabling teams to analyse and resolve problems quickly.
By identifying problems before they lead to major incidents or breakdowns, the GR100 helps to reduce security risks at sensitive and strategic sites.
Manual inspections are often subject to human error and delays. Your safety and maintenance teams have to react to alerts, which can be too late to avoid incidents. What’s more, traditional methods don’t effectively alert you to anomalies such as leaks or gas concentrations. The GR100 robot, on the other hand, ensures continuous monitoring, providing accurate data in real time, enabling rapid and informed intervention.
The GR100 doesn’t just detect anomalies; it also transmits data in real time to the RB-OC* interface via an encrypted tunnel (for security reasons). This information is processed and can be used directly. The information collected by the robot during inspections is essential for strategic decision-making by operators and those responsible for safety and security.
The advantages of the GR100 patrol robot:
The sensors and cameras on board the GR100 collect precise data on the condition of equipment, facilitating in-depth analysis.
Data is presented in the form of interactive dashboards, giving operators rapid access to critical information.
The data collected enables maintenance and safety strategies to be adjusted and improved, promoting a proactive, fact-based approach.
Integrating the GR100 robot into your security and, by extension, maintenance operations offers a significant return on investment (ROI), visible in the short, medium and long term:
Current preventive and corrective maintenance methods are often reactive, leading to high repair costs and frequent interruptions. The GR100 guard robot offers you a proactive solution with autonomous monitoring, detecting anomalies before they become critical, minimising risks to personnel and the environment.
By integrating it into your strategy, you gain access to autonomous technology for the security of your outdoor infrastructures and digitalise your surveillance processes. Thanks to its intelligent sensors and real-time data analysis, the robot optimises your preventive maintenance process by anticipating potential faults. What’s more, the GR100 enhances the responsiveness of corrective maintenance by providing continuous visibility of equipment status, enabling rapid problem resolution. This combination of technologies improves asset management, reduces costs and increases on-site safety.
With the GR100 robot, you benefit not only from autonomous monitoring, but also from in-depth analysis thanks to the RB-OC* interface. Imagine a future where interventions are reduced, risks are minimised and your teams are safe. Invest in technology that optimises safety and maximises your return on investment.
