Remote Robotic is an Authorized Canadian Dealer
Trusted by Canada’s Leading Energy & Utility Operators
We’ve supported major organizations across the energy sector—including BC Hydro, Hydro-Québec, Ontario Power Generation, Hydro One, and TransAlta. Our team has real field experience working in substations, transmission corridors, hydro facilities, power plants, and remote generation sites. This firsthand operational knowledge means our consultations and ROC services are shaped by real-world constraints, safety standards, and utility-grade expectations—so you’re working with experts who understand your environment from day one.
Remote Operations Center (ROC): Zero Hardware Investment, Guaranteed Asset Insights
Our ROC program gives energy operators immediate access to high-quality aerial and robotic inspection data—without owning or maintaining any equipment. We manage the entire process end-to-end: mission planning, compliance, flight execution, data processing, and delivery. You simply choose the inspections and reports you need, and pay a predictable monthly fee. It’s the most efficient way to modernize asset integrity workflows while reducing operational risk and internal workload.
No Upfront Capital Costs
Avoid purchasing drones, sensors, spot robots, or support hardware. ROC replaces major capital expenses with a simple subscription model, allowing you to scale vertically without new internal infrastructure.
Fully Managed Data Collection
Our team executes all missions—pipeline patrols, powerline thermography, facility inspections, tank assessments, flare stack imaging, and more. You receive processed, actionable insights ready for engineering and compliance teams.
Guaranteed Data Quality & Consistency
Every mission uses standardized workflows, calibrated sensors, and consistent flight paths. This provides reliable datasets for comparing trends over time—critical for preventative maintenance and regulatory reporting.
Scalable Across All Your Sites
From substations and transmission corridors to compressor stations, midstream facilities, solar farms, and wind turbines, ROC scales seamlessly across your portfolio. Add sites as needed without adding headcount, training, or equipment.
Benefits of Energy Industry Robotics Solutions
Safer Inspection of High-Risk Assets
Drones and robots reduce the need for crews to climb transmission towers, inspect flare stacks, enter substations, or approach live electrical equipment—keeping teams out of energized or high-elevation environments.
Faster Asset Intelligence
LiDAR and photogrammetry deliver rapid, accurate measurements for vegetation encroachment, tower alignment, right-of-way condition, pipeline corridor modeling, and structural assessments.
Reduced Downtime & Operational Costs
Automated inspections catch damaged insulators, leaning poles, heat-stressed components, corrosion on tanks, or turbine blade defects early—preventing unplanned outages and costly emergency repairs.
Real-Time Thermal & Visual Monitoring
Thermal payloads detect failing transformers, hot connectors, worn bearings, coolant leaks, and overheating solar inverters—allowing maintenance teams to act before a fault becomes critical.
Enhanced Facility Security & Monitoring
Dock drones and ground robots deliver autonomous patrols at substations, hydro facilities, compressor stations, wind farms, and remote pump sites—identifying intrusions, wildlife interference, equipment tampering, or perimeter breaches.
Scalable Solutions Across Sites
All robotics platforms can be flown or driven remotely from a centralized ROC, enabling multi-site inspections, emergency response support, and scheduled patrols without deploying field crews each time.
Our Energy Industry Robotics Solutions Consultation Process
Our consultation process is shaped by real work with leaders like BC Hydro, Hydro-Québec, OPG, Hydro One, and TransAlta. That experience means we understand the unique challenges of high-voltage environments, remote generation sites, and complex energy infrastructure from day one—and can recommend solutions already proven in utility-grade field operations.
1
Tailored Solution Recommendations
We begin by meeting with your team to understand your workflows, hazards, data requirements, and operational constraints. This helps us map out where automation, inspection tools, and remote capabilities can create the biggest impact.
2
Live Demonstration
Once we understand your environment, we identify the right mix of drones, ground robots, sensors, and software. Every recommendation is backed by real industrial use cases—ensuring the technology fits your standards, budget, and scalability goals.
3
Live Demonstration With Your Team
We bring the equipment on-site or host you at one of our facilities for a hands-on demonstration. Your team gets to see the hardware in action, evaluate data outputs, and understand operational workflows before making any commitment.
4
Proof-of-Concept for New Applications
For emerging or high-risk applications, we move into a structured POC phase. This allows your organization to validate performance, test integrations, measure ROI, and build internal buy-in before full deployment.
