Leveraging Robotics for Reliable Utility Infrastructure

Ensuring Resilient Infrastructure with Automation

Utility providers manage vast networks of critical infrastructure essential for daily life. Chironix offers robotic solutions powered by PilotOS to automate inspection and maintenance tasks, enhancing grid reliability, improving safety, and optimizing resource allocation for power, water, and renewable energy sectors.

 

From substations and power lines to pipelines and renewable energy installations, our autonomous systems provide consistent data collection and monitoring, enabling proactive maintenance and faster response times.

Improve Reliability, Reduce Risk

Predictive Maintenance

Automate routine inspections of substations, pipelines, and other critical assets to detect potential faults (e.g., hotspots, leaks, vegetation encroachment) before they cause outages.

Enhance Worker Safety

Minimise the need for manual inspections in dangerous or inaccessible locations, such as high-voltage areas, confined spaces, or remote terrains, improving overall workforce safety.

Optimise Resource Allocation

Utilise robotics for continuous monitoring or rapid response surveys, freeing up human resources for complex maintenance tasks and strategic planning based on reliable data.

Ensuring Operational Integrity & Safety for Essential Services

Maintain the reliability and safety of vital infrastructure – electricity grids, water networks, gas pipelines, ports, and transportation hubs – with Chironix’s proven robotic solutions. We deploy autonomous systems managed by PilotOS to perform critical inspection and monitoring tasks in challenging, remote, or hazardous environments.

Reduce risks to personnel, gain consistent operational awareness, and enable data-driven predictive maintenance. Our platform-agnostic approach allows us to utilize the best hardware (drones, crawlers, UGVs like Spot) equipped with necessary sensors (thermal, visual, acoustic, LiDAR) for your specific needs.
