Spence, N. - Presenter, Confined Space Robotics
The hazards of working in confined space is one of the most discussed issues at any job site in North America today. Confined Space Robotics is dedicated to eliminating the need for humans to enter dangerous confined spaces such as tanks and vessels required in the production of petrochemicals. Over the past 3 years, Confined Space Robotics has been able to design and use a The Alpha One Robotic abrasive blasting arm to perform Abrasive Blasting work in confined spaces. Since robots do not get tired or fatigued like humans, using robots in the petrochemical process industry usually results in an increase in speed, quality and consistency.

Learn how you can reduce project costs and increase efficiency in your processes while at the same time keeping humans out of harms way.
