APPLICATIONS to identify temperature irregularities, acoustic sensors to locate air or gas leaks and computer vision to read analogue gauges for pressure and flow metrics. The robots also spot safety hazards like chemical spills and detect electrical anomalies. All sensor data feeds directly into IFS. ai, where autonomous AI agents process findings, make informed decisions and trigger corrective actions, creating a continuous feedback loop from data collection to automated response.

“ This collaboration represents the future of industrial operations,” says Merry Frayne, Director of Product at Boston Dynamics.“ Our robots excel

at navigating complex environments and gathering critical data. Combined with IFS’ agentic decision-making capabilities, we’ re enabling organisations to achieve levels of operational excellence and safety that simply weren’ t possible before.”

The platform targets measurable improvements across three critical operational metrics: safety through autonomous inspections that reduce human exposure to dangerous environments, efficiency through
