Our team brings real field experience across pipelines, refineries, compressor stations, and remote production sites, giving your organization guidance that’s grounded in proven, industry-tested workflows.
Benefits of Robotics in the Oil & Gas Industry
Safer Inspection of High-Risk Assets
Drones and robots reduce the need for crews to climb flare stacks, enter confined spaces, inspect tank roofs, or walk active pipeline rights-of-way—keeping personnel out of high-risk or H₂S-exposed zones.
Faster Asset Intelligence
LiDAR and photogrammetry deliver rapid, accurate data for pipeline corridor mapping, facility layout updates, tank-farm modeling, erosion monitoring, and construction progress tracking.
Reduced Downtime & Operational Costs
Automated inspections identify corrosion on tanks, valve abnormalities, heat anomalies in compressors, or structural issues on platforms—helping teams address problems before they disrupt production.
Real-Time Thermal & Visual Monitoring
Thermal sensors detect leaks, failing pump components, overheating equipment, insulation failures, and fugitive emissions early—supporting preventative maintenance and environmental compliance.
Enhanced Facility Security & Monitoring
Dock 3 and Spot enable autonomous patrols at refineries, pump stations, compressor sites, tank farms, and remote well pads—spotting intrusions, wildlife hazards, equipment tampering, and perimeter breaches.
Scalable Solutions Across Sites
All platforms can be operated remotely from a central command centre, allowing consistent inspections across pipeline segments, processing plants, and remote production facilities without deploying field crews.
Remote Operations Center (ROC): Fully Managed Robotics for Oil & Gas
Our ROC program gives oil & gas operators access to high-quality inspections, monitoring, and reporting—without purchasing or maintaining any hardware. We manage the entire workflow for pipelines, tank farms, compressor stations, refineries, and remote production sites. You simply select the data and inspections you need, and pay a predictable monthly fee. It’s the easiest, safest, and most scalable way to modernize asset integrity workflows across your entire network.
Zero Hardware Investment
No need to buy drones, sensors, Spot robots, or Dock stations. ROC replaces large capital projects with an affordable subscription that scales across upstream, midstream, and downstream assets.
Fully Managed Inspections & Monitoring
We handle everything—pipeline patrols, flare stack inspections, tank-roof assessments, leak detection, thermal surveys, and security checks. Your team receives clean, processed data ready for engineering and compliance.
Proven, Repeatable Data Quality
All missions follow standardized robotic workflows using calibrated sensors and consistent flight paths. This ensures accurate, repeatable datasets for API inspections, corrosion tracking, environmental monitoring, and anomaly detection.
Scalable Across All Assets & Regions
From remote well pads and pump stations to large refineries and LNG facilities, ROC grows with your portfolio. Multiple sites can be monitored from a centralized command centre with no additional field deployment.
Our Oil & Gas Industry Consultation Process
Our consultation process is shaped by real work with operators such as Suncor, Imperial Oil, Enbridge, and TC Energy. That field experience gives us a deep understanding of pipeline corridors, refineries, tank farms, compressor stations, and remote midstream infrastructure—allowing us to recommend solutions that are already proven to perform safely and reliably in demanding oil & gas environments.
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.

Confined Space Inspection & Ultrasonic Thickness Measurement
Using advanced robotic systems, we safely inspect tanks, boilers, vessels, and other enclosed or hazardous assets—without human entry. Our approach leverages contact-based ultrasonic Non-Destructive Testing (UT) combined with visual, thermal, and 3D-scan data to deliver certified integrity reports in line with industry standards such as API 653 and EEMUA 159.
Zero Entry into Confined or Elevated Zones
Our UT-enabled drones perform wall, roof and floor thickness measurements inside storage tanks, vessels and chimneys—eliminating the need for scaffolding, rope access, or personnel to enter confined spaces.
Certified Thickness Data for Critical Assets
We deliver UT measurements accurate from as thin as ~3 mm up to ~200 mm—covering painted steel, stainless steel, or fiberglass assets—and store raw sensor data in the cloud for full traceability.
Reduced Downtime & Lower Inspection Costs
With rapid deployment of drones instead of manual inspections, tasks that once required crane or access-platform time are completed more quickly and safely, reducing operations interruption.
Integrated Visual, Thermal & 3D Data Context
In addition to UT thickness readings, our services combine visual and thermal inspections plus deformation analysis and 3D modelling—giving a full-spectrum view of asset condition, compliance, and maintenance needs.

From wildfire monitoring to wildlife protection, drones deliver situational awareness, thermal detection, and high-quality imagery that support safer operations across remote and industrial environments.
Rapid Emergency Assessment
Drones provide immediate overhead visibility during fires, spills, explosions, or natural disasters—helping teams understand the scope, identify hazards, and coordinate response without waiting for manned aircraft.
Thermal Search & Incident Monitoring
Thermal sensors detect heat anomalies, track fire progression, locate hot spots, identify trapped personnel, and support real-time monitoring of flare stacks, equipment failures, and hazardous material events.
Wildlife Detection & Protection
Drones monitor wildlife activity near pipelines, construction zones, and active industrial sites—identifying animal presence, nesting areas, and migration patterns without disturbing sensitive habitats.
Environmental Impact & Spill Monitoring
