RobotPlusPlus: Cutting-Edge Robotic Solutions for Maritime Surface Preparation

RobotPlusPlus, an aerial robotic specialist, offers state-of-the-art robotic solutions for surface preparation, specifically designed for the maritime industry. Their range of robots excels in working on ship hulls, cargo holds, and storage tanks, providing innovative solutions for inspection and maintenance.

Why Choose RobotPlusPlus?

  1. Efficiency and Speed: The hydroblasting robots from RobotPlusPlus can cover up to 50 m² per hour, making them 9 times faster than manual methods. This speed drastically reduces the time required for surface preparation, making operations more efficient and cost-effective.
  2. Safety Improvements: Using RobotPlusPlus robots eliminates the need for personnel to work on dangerous cherry-pickers, scaffolds, or platforms. The operators can stay safely on the ground, significantly reducing the risk of accidents and improving overall workplace safety.
  3. Superior Surface Preparation: These robots ensure high-quality surface preparation, achieving near-white metal finishes that are salt-free and clean, ideal for immediate coating application. The use of vacuum pumps leaves a dry surface, preventing flash rust.
  4. Versatility: The robots are capable of working on various parts of a ship, including the bottom, bulbous bow, and keel. They are designed to handle different surfaces and can be deployed even while the berth is being drained.
  5. Environmental Benefits: RobotPlusPlus robots utilize a closed-loop water system that reduces water consumption and waste production, aligning with eco-friendly practices.

Client Success Stories

  • Zhoushan Xinya Shipyard: One of China’s largest private ship repair companies, Zhoushan Xinya Shipyard, has doubled its purchase of RobotPlusPlus hydroblasting robots compared to the previous year. This ongoing collaboration highlights the efficiency and reliability of RobotPlusPlus solutions, as well as their positive impact on the shipyard’s operations.
  • Vopak Tianjin: RobotPlusPlus successfully completed a hydroblasting task on storage tanks at Vopak Bohua (Tianjin) Terminal. The project required precise parameter settings for high-pressure water jetting to remove specific layers while retaining others. The client praised the quality and efficiency of the work, demonstrating the robots’ capability in handling complex tasks in challenging environments.
  • LA BALENA Project: In late 2021, RobotPlusPlus hydroblasting robots were used on the 333m long VLCC, LA BALENA, for paint stripping. The robots achieved a cleaning rate of 51m²/hr, outperforming manual methods and significantly reducing the required manpower and time. Following this success, the operator ordered additional robots for future projects.

Future Developments

RobotPlusPlus is continuously innovating, working on integrating Artificial Intelligence and Image Recognition into their robots to further enhance efficiency and autonomy. The goal is to have one supervisor oversee multiple robots from a safe distance, making the process even more streamlined and effective.
