Case Study: Evonik achieves safer, higher-quality chemical plant inspections with Energy Robotics

Evonik improves chemical inspections with Energy Robotics

Evonik, a global leader in specialty chemicals, faced challenges with manual inspections at a test facility where analog gauges and hard-to-reach areas made consistent monitoring difficult. The company partnered with vendor Energy Robotics, utilizing their Korial platform on a Boston Dynamics Spot robot to automate this process.

Energy Robotics implemented a solution where the robot autonomously navigates predefined routes, capturing thermal and visual data to read instruments and detect anomalies. This shift to automated inspections improved data quality and consistency, freeing Evonik's engineers to focus on higher-value work and paving the way for scaling this capability into live production environments.
