Closed doors have been a barrier for mobile inspection robots in processing industries such as energy, metals, mining, and chemicals. ANYbotics today said it has partnered with dormakaba and LEGIC Identsystems AG to add automated door-access capabilities to its ANYmal robot fleet.

“Inspection only delivers value if the robot can reach the asset, and a closed door was the one obstacle that stopped our robots from covering the most critical parts of a plant,” said Jacob Euler-Rolle, product manager, workflow integration, at ANYbotics. “Solving it with LEGIC and dormakaba means ANYmal can now inspect where it matters most, without rebuilding any infrastructure.”

“Our customers do not buy robots; they buy a solution to their operational challenges: less unplanned downtime and fewer people in hazardous areas,” stated Péter Fankhauser, co-founder and CEO of ANYbotics. “With dormakaba and LEGIC, ANYmal can move through doors like any authorized colleague, under the same rules and the same audit trail. The access-controlled door pilot has proven this works in a live operating environment, and we will now make that function available as an add-on across the entire ANYmal fleet.”

Spun out of ETH Zurich in 2016, ANYbotics said its ANYmal quadrupeds are designed for routine inspections , remote operations , and predictive maintenance of critical assets. It claimed that they can address labor shortages, increase plant uptime, reduce costs, and limit human exposure to hazardous areas. The Zurich-based company has about 200 staffers and has obtained more than $150 million in funding to date.
