SPRINT Robotics presents a groundbreaking seminar this February, “Robotic-Enabled Facilities”, to address the practical implementation of robotic technology deployment with the use of enhanced facility design or modification. The one-day seminar will be held in Houston, Texas on February 27, 2020 in collaboration with ExxonMobil.
The presentations focus on three main topics:

  • Operating Infrastructure
  • Working Processes and General Aspects
  • KPI’s and Decision Parameters

The Robotic-Enabled Facilities Seminar includes presentations by leading Oil & Gas operating companies as well as engineering, procurement and construction companies.
We are pleased to announce the following industry experts will be speaking at the Robotic-Enabled Facilities seminar:

Keith Churchill, Bechtel: “EPC Robotic Engagement”
Yasser Bangash, BP: “Accelerating Robotics in BP”
John O’Brien, Chevron: “Enabling Normally Unattended Facilities Through Robotics”
Duco Drenth, Dietsmann: “SPRINT Robotics, Action Group Remote Operators (AGRO) report”
Marty Robinson, Dow: “Establishing a Global Robotics Footprint & Its Continuous Evolution”
Anders Royroy, Equinor: “Remotely Operating Factory, the way to Always safe, High value and Low Carbon”
Todd Carrico, SBM: “Challenges in designing offshore facilities for unmanned operations”
Jean-Michel Munoz, Total: “Next-Generation Facilities”
Alison Barnes, Woodside: “Modifying existing and designing new assets for use of robotics technology – An Operators Experience”

The seminar will also facilitate interactive sessions, work groups and panel discussions, concluding with a networking dinner that evening in the surrounding area.
The interactive sessions and work groups will focus on a report recently released by the SPRINT Robotics’ Remote Operator Action Group (AGRO), which addresses the challenges of implementing remote operator robotics.
After the seminar there will be a Networking Dinner for Seminar & North American Chapter Meeting guests.
