Exrobotics' EXR-1 Unmanned Facilities Surveillance Robot Incorporates Falco

Exrobotics' EXR-1 Unmanned Facilities...

ATEX and IECEx Zone 1 accredited robot incorporated with the ION Science Falco for the detection of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in flammable and explosive environments. Through out unmanned facilities within the Oil and Gas industry, a human presence is generally still needed for regular inspection work, so deploying Ex certified robots (ATEX and IECEx Zone 1) incorporated with the ION Science Falco, can have a significant positive impact on safety by minimising worker field trips, which in turn reduces operating costs. ION Science’s Falco...

The common assumption that PPE is a reliable solution to hearing damage risk problems is simply untrue, leaving many personnel still at risk and many companies open to claims. Peter Wilson of the INVC summarises the results of the research...
