With Chironix Pty. Ltd. as its latest reseller partner, ANYbotics AG is bringing its robots to Australia and New Zealand. ANYbotics is combining its robots with Chironix’s expertise in robotic inspection, integration, and software intelligence. The partners said they will deliver systems to enhance safety and reliability in heavy industries.
“Chironix’s expertise in industrial automation makes them the ideal partner to expand our footprint in Australia,” stated Satschin Bansal, the global vice president of strategic alliances and partnerships at ANYbotics. “This collaboration accelerates autonomous inspection adoption, enhancing safety and efficiency.”
ANYbotics said its inspection systems can reduce worker exposure to hazardous environments, improve predictive maintenance by detecting equipment anomalies early, and optimize production by collecting data more accurately and frequently. Chironix said that by adding ANYbotics’ robots to its portfolio, it’s bringing inspection technology for heavy industries to the region.
Chironix to offer ANYmal for sale, RaaS
As part of this collaboration, Chironix will offer the ANYmal quadruped for direct purchase or via a robotics-as-a-service (RaaS) model. The company will deliver on-site support, training, technical expertise, and advisory services for robots and project management. This will enable industrial operators to automate inspections more effectively.
Spun out of ETH Zurich in 2016, ANYbotics said its mobile robots can automate real-time data collection in challenging environments, making them suitable for routine inspections, remote operations, or predictive maintenance. The company, which has offices in Zurich and San Francisco, said its systems and services can address labor shortages and keep workers out of harm’s way.
In December, ANYbotics raised $60 million to deploy its robots worldwide. The company said ANYmal and its software automates inspection for oil and gas, chemicals, mining, metals, minerals, and utilities.
