Ulc Robotics Supports UK Decarbonisation Goals With Launch Of Advanced, Eco-Friendly Operation Stations From Boss Cabins
UK welfare manufacturer Boss Cabins has collaborated with ULC Robotics, the leading Robotics-as-a-Service (RaaS) solutions provider, to develop a new advanced operations centre cabin for their UK operations. With the launch of these cabins, ULC Robotics is expanding its ability to sustainably and safely deliver leading-edge technology to the energy industry.
“ULC Robotics are exploring the use of innovative solutions to improve our daily operations and make any adjustments necessary to support the country’s recent decarbonisation goals,” said Graeme Cleeton, VP of UK Operations.
ULC Robotics chose to work with Boss Cabins and TAG Systems to create the bespoke low-emission high-security control centre cabin specifically for its UK CISBOT operations. CISBOT, short for Cast Iron Joint Sealing Robot, works within live gas mains to seal aging or leaking joints, extending their lifetime by fifty years. The robot is powered by a generator and until now, was typically operated during a 12-hour window by a crew from within a box truck.
From initial plan to final manufacture, Boss Cabins collaborated closely with ULC Robotics to develop the new units based on the company’s various safety and environmental concerns. The result is a distinctive, one-of-a-kind cabin designed to meet the company’s singular needs.
“These container units will help us maintain our practice of providing environmentally sound, minimally disruptive services to our clients,” said Cleeton.
The newly built 20 foot mobile units have been furnished with an array of solar panels, used to charge lithium ion batteries during daylight hours. The batteries are then able to power the unit at night, enabling 24-hour operations. In the event that there is not enough light to charge the batteries adequately, the unit is equipped with an on-board efficient, silent-run generator to provide back-up power. The eco-friendly dual-power solution mitigates any noise pollution and minimises project emissions.
“We are delighted to have collaborated with ULC on this unique new cabin and helped to find solutions to the operational, safety and environmental issues raised,” said Tim Allan, Director at Boss Cabins. “The purpose-specific design will we hope enable ULC to work more effectively over longer periods with less disruption and minimal environmental impact.”
Each cabin is outfitted with a state-of-the-art security system, custom designed by Tag Systems, Europe’s leading manufacturer of wireless security equipment. The system includes high definition CCTV cameras, motion detectors, and an alarm linked to a security response team.
The first two units were delivered in January 2020 and installed in Sloane Square, London, at job sites for UK gas distribution network Cadent. The units have received praise from local government and have enabled ULC Robotics to celebrate their first carbon neutral day on January 31st.
