Will accelerate global expansion of HiBot’s RaaS model of infrastructure inspection
Tokyo, April 16 – HiBot Corp., an innovative robotics start-up pioneering infrastructure maintenance applications, announced today that it has entered into a new capital and business agreement with Tokyo Power Technology Ltd. and Takahata Precision Co., Ltd. These new partnerships will leverage HiBot’s AI- based data platform service “HiBox” and “Float Arm”, a new snake-like manipulator used in confined spaces, to accelerate HiBot’s global expansion of its new RaaS (Robot as a Service) model of infrastructure inspection and maintenance.
By entering into an alliance with Tokyo Power Technology, a subsidiary of Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) responsible for the maintenance of power generation facilities, Hibot will leverage its AI-based data platform “HiBox” to help advance Tokyo Power Technology’s infrastructure inspection work at thermal, nuclear and renewable energy power plants (see appendix 1).
“Tokyo Power Technology has been involved in the maintenance and management of power generation facilities for over 60 years, and is undertaking continuous improvements to improve the safety and efficiency of facility maintenance,” said Masatoshi Sato, Director of Tokyo Power Technology. “We are confident that HiBot’s advanced infrastructure inspection technology, supported by their data analysis capabilities, will help us reduce labor costs and improve the precision and efficiency of plant maintenance. Combining the strengths of both companies, we aim to meet the world’s growing need for RaaS-based inspections of power plants”.
