Sarcos Robotics names MFE Rentals official partner for remote visual inspection robot
06/10/2020
Sarcos Robotics and MFE Rentals have announced a partnership, giving MFE Rentals’ customers premier access to the innovative, award-winning Guardian® S robotic crawler system, a compact multi-purpose remote visual inspection tool designed to traverse challenging terrain while maintaining real-time two-way video, voice and data communication.The Guardian S robot, created and built in the USA, is designed to navigate unstructured and unpredictable environments that previously no other crawler is believed to have had the capabilities to access. Its compact low-profile design, slim form and waterproof structure are optimal for inspecting narrow piping and traversing vertical ferromagnetic surfaces, stairs, tanks and culverts. This technology will provide operators with a detailed view of the terrain, all while maintaining a safe distance.
As a Sarcos Robotics official rental and resale partner, MFE Rentals says the inclusion of the Guardian S robot in its equipment arsenal will save its customers time and money.
“The Guardian S robot has six cameras and magnetic tracks, so it can crawl up metal platforms and has unique features for travelling over obstacles,” said Susan Nulph, Sales Manager at MFE Rentals. “Its potential to save time and money while avoiding putting humans in areas they could not or should not safely go is exceptional.”
Said to be ideally suited for commercial, industrial, public safety and defence applications, the Guardian S robot delivers extended run times and long-range wireless operations, making inspections and remote surveillance safer and more effective than ever before.
“We are pleased to be working with MFE Rentals as an official rental and resale partner of our Guardian S robot,” said Jim Ryder, Chief Revenue Officer at Sarcos Robotics. “MFE Rentals has extensive knowledge and experience offering tools and services for industrial inspections and we look forward to utilising their expertise and relationships to deploy the Guardian S robot across a variety of industries for remote visual inspections.”
