Introduction: A New Era for Robotised Inspection
The industrialisation of quality control has long been hindered by a simple but critical obstacle: closed doors. Mobile robots, capable of reaching areas inaccessible to humans, were still blocked by these physical barriers. Today, ANYmal, the autonomous mobile robot from ANYbotics, is changing the game thanks to a strategic partnership with dormakaba and LEGIC Identsystems AG.
1. The Technological Partnership that Opens Doors
By integrating intelligent locking systems, ANYmal can now pass secure access points without human intervention. This breakthrough relies on dormakaba’s automatic opening API coupled with LEGIC Identsystems’ biometric recognition technology. Result: a robot able to reach critical factory zones.
Technical Details of the Access System
The implementation is achieved via an embedded module that communicates in real‑time with locks. The autonomous robotics receives unlock instructions, opens the door and continues the inspection while logging field data.
2. Operational Impact: Less Unplanned Downtime
Fast, precise inspections allow companies to detect anomalies before they cause major failures. On average, downtime is reduced by 30%, translating into a significant productivity improvement.
- Reduction of human intervention in dangerous areas
- Real‑time collection of visual and thermal data
- Predictive analysis via embedded AI
3. Enhanced Safety for Human Operators
By delegating the riskiest tasks to robots, companies minimise worker exposure to hazardous environments. Inspection‑related incidents are almost zero, reinforcing a culture of industrial safety.
“With ANYmal, our teams can focus on analysis rather than moving through high‑risk zones.” – Production Director, Chemical Plant
4. Flexibility and Adaptability of ANYmal Robots
Designed to navigate complex environments, ANYmal robots adapt to each site’s constraints. Thanks to their advanced LiDAR sensor, they create a precise 3D model of the terrain, facilitating access even through narrow or angled doors.
5. Future Development and Integration Prospects
The open architecture of ANYmal allows adding other modules such as leak detection or real‑time quality control. Partners also plan integration with SCADA systems for complete visibility of industrial processes.
Conclusion: Adopt Robotised Inspection Today
ANYmal now opens doors—both literally and figuratively—to a future where precision, safety and efficiency sit at the heart of industry. Contact ANYbotics to discover how your company can benefit from this revolutionary technology.
