Biogas plants face constant safety risks from explosive gas leaks to unauthorized access and mechanical overheating. Watchbot strengthens plant safety by autonomously detecting hazardous gases, thermal monitoring of critical equipment, and reducing human exposure in high risk areas. Its modular platform ensures continuous inspection in environments where manual checks are challenging and dangerous.
Detection of explosive gases
- Detects methane (CH₄), carbon monoxide (CO), hydrogen sulfide (H₂S), and oxygen (O₂) using an Optical Gas Imaging (OGI) camera.
- Continuously monitors for hazardous gases across critical areas.
- Helps prevent fires, explosions, and plant shutdowns by issuing instant alerts to operators.
- Supports compliance with industrial safety regulations through automated air quality monitoring.
Thermal inspection in gas compression systems
- Performs routine thermal scans on gas compression equipment to detect overheating.
- Identifies anomalies that may lead to mechanical failure or fire risk, such as overheating in gas compression units, electrical panel hotspots, or unusual temperature rises in confined machinery spaces.
- Supports predictive maintenance, helping to extend equipment lifespan and reduce downtime.
- Enables safe monitoring of high risk systems without requiring human presence.
Intruder detection in restricted access areas
- Provides intruder detection in sensitive and restricted zones.
- Reduces human error and unmonitored exposure by covering areas beyond static surveillance systems.
Watchbot benefits
- Reduces the need for manual checks and enhances overall plant safety without increasing staffing.
- Maintains consistent performance in challenging industrial environments.
- Integrates seamlessly with AUROS for centralized monitoring and fleet management.
Watchbot gives biogas plants the intelligence and autonomy needed to detect dangers early, protect people and assets, and keep operations running safely.
