Case Study: BP improves offshore inspection efficiency with Formant

BP reduces onsite visits and improves safety with Formant

BP, a major energy company, faced the challenge of optimizing inspections at its dangerous and remote offshore sites. They sought to free employees from mundane and hazardous tasks, identify operational problems earlier, and improve the overall efficiency of these remote operations. To address this, BP partnered with vendor Formant and utilized its command center software platform alongside Boston Dynamics' Spot robots.

By implementing Formant's software to remotely command and control the Spot robots, BP centralized its operations and allowed experts to monitor multiple sites from afar. The Formant solution enabled the consistent collection of more environmental data, leading to the earlier identification of failures. This resulted in increased employee efficiency, improved safety, and a significant reduction in the number of required onsite visits.
