A world leader in robotic tank inspection, Square Robot Inc and its subsidiary, Veritank Inc, have announced a global agreement with ExxonMobil to deploy and develop in-service robotic inspection services in above ground storage tanks around the world.

Square Robot is an autonomous robotic solution that delivers in-service inspection – which potentially helps with minimising vapour and chemical releases while maintaining tank operations.

David Lamont, Square Robot CEO, said: “Square Robot is honoured to partner with ExxonMobil as it looks to benefit from our robotic services across its global tank inventory.”

Tim Westhoven, ExxonMobil technology scouting and ventures senior advisor, said: “Square Robot in-service tank inspection technology improves safety for our personnel, provides the data we need to manage our assets, and saves on operating costs.”

The early phase of the agreement will see Square Robot’s industry-leading robots used to provide services to ExxonMobil throughout the US, UK, Europe and the Far East. ExxonMobil is supporting Square Robot’s development programme for next generation robots. ExxonMobil’s support will fast-track this programme, with first deployments due for field trials later this year.
