Outokumpu signed a deal with ANYbotics to improve safety, productivity, and sustainability at their facilities.
Outokumpu and ANYbotics partnered to deploy the ANYmal robotic inspection solution. Adopting this innovative technology at three different sites in Finland, Germany, and Sweden supports Outokumpu in its goals of continuously improving safety, productivity, and sustainability.
First time in the steel sector, legged inspection robots will be operationally deployed for improving and digitizing facility health monitoring and reducing unnecessary worker exposure to adverse environments. The solution is made available on a Robotics-as-a-Service (RaaS) basis, and Outokumpu is planning expansion after the initial deployments.
ANYmal is an autonomous, robotic end-to-end inspection solution that continuously monitors plant health and equipment. As a ‘ready-to-go’ solution, ANYmal enables customers to automate inspections and add value immediately.
ANYmal monitors assets and equipment and detects anomalies at an early stage. This assists Outokumpu in pursuing three goals: Increasing safety by reducing employee exposure to hazardous substances and environments, optimizing production through preventive maintenance, and decreasing environmental impact.
