FSWBot Pipeline Technology Showcase at Robotics Conference

ongoing

The FSWBot project involves the development of a world-first pipeline technology that aims to revolutionize performance and safety in industries worldwide. The project is led by Forth Engineering in Cumbria and has garnered global attention for its innovative approach to internal repair and refurbishment of pipelines. The technology integrates state-of-the-art technologies like friction stir welding, milling, patch deployment, and ultrasonic NDT onto a robotic system for conducting repairs on pipelines without the need for shutdowns. The project is sponsored by Innovate UK and has received funding for developing a proof of concept system.
