The Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities has accredited us as an innovative SME, in response to our efforts around R&D&I development and growth, thanks to the creation of our flagship product, the WatchBot: the autonomous surveillance and inspection robot for industrial facilities.
In recent years, we have reached agreements of enormous importance to further advance our vision of robotic surveillance and inspection. Our partners have believed in our innovation and have placed their trust in us to provide and reinforce security in their facilities. We are a fundamental part of the security team in energy facilities, defense, landfills and nuclear waste centers, reaching partnerships with the main companies of the Ibex35 and large multinationals in Spain.
The versatility of the WatchBot:
Our WatchBot was created with the intention of being a multi-utility tool for inspection and surveillance in environments with complicated access that require rigorous care, therefore, the importance of easy adaptation for each client is crucial for the performance of the Robot, from people detection, through automated surveillance rounds to smoke or methane gas leak detection. These are some of the many capabilities available in our autonomous Robot that enhance the performance of various security and inspection equipment.
