ANYbotics has strengthened its presence in European sustainability by partnering with Equans, a world leader in energy and services. Equans selected ANYbotics as its preferred ground robot supplier to drive the adoption of ANYmal for autonomous inspections, asset monitoring, and maintenance. Together, they deliver automated, data-driven solutions to the offshore renewable energy sector, enhancing safety and efficiency in asset management and maintenance.

Access to ANYmal Technology Transforms Offshore Automation

Together, the companies will transform workflows by deploying ANYmal in challenging offshore environments.

ANYmal, ANYbotics’ flagship robotic solution, combines robust design and autonomous capabilities to automate real-time data collection, asset monitoring, and maintenance support in high-risk offshore facilities with unmatched mobility and intelligence.

Equans will offer ANYmal as a direct purchase or Robot-as-a-Service (RaaS), providing implementation support, training, and expertise. This partnership enables automated offshore maintenance, promoting a more sustainable and efficient future in the offshore.

Automating routine inspections within offshore wind through advanced robotics will reduce costs and downtime emissions and position Equans and ANYbotics at the forefront of servicing this rapidly growing, sustainable industry,” said Oussama Darouichi, Associate Director of Strategic Alliances & Partnerships, ANYbotics.

Offshore Operators Improve Efficiency, Safety, and Savings

Equans will deploy ANYmal as part of a proactive monitoring and maintenance service for existing and new offshore substations and platforms across Europe. This partnership will transform offshore operations and maintenance, offering numerous benefits to operators.

  • Improved Operational Efficiency: Up to 50% of inspection tasks on an offshore platform are visual, thermal, or acoustic. ANYmal performs these tasks more quickly and accurately, optimizing efficiency.
  • Enhanced Safety: By reducing human exposure to hazardous environments, ANYmal minimizes risks and ensures a safer working environment.
  • Cost-Effectiveness: ANYmal lowers costs by increasing uptime, streamlining maintenance, and reducing the need for on-site and offshore interventions and associated carbon emissions.


“Together, we are committed to delivering groundbreaking solutions that enhance our customers’ efficiency and drive the essential movement towards decarbonization and digitalization. The power of innovation and collaboration are setting the path to creating a sustainable future for all,” said Pascal Grosjean, General Manager, Equans Offshore Business Unit.

ANYbotics and Equans are leading the offshore renewable energy sector into a future of automated, efficient, and sustainable operations. Their collaboration sets a new standard for proactive monitoring and maintenance, ensuring long-term sustainability and operational excellence in offshore energy.
