Gerotto Lombrico robot

Italian company Gerotto Federico is currently showcasing innovative, robotic and virtual reality solutions that meet the needs of productivity and efficiency for the cleaning and maintenance of industrial plants.

Since the early 2000s, Gerotto Federico has been among the most active players in proposing remote-controlled technologies specific for confined spaces and ATEX zone 0.

 

THE TRAILER: STRAIGHT TO THE SITE

Completely designed and manufactured by the research and development department, Gerotto Federico has developed an innovative system that could become part of the fleet of contractors. It is a trailer that can be hooked up to any van, combining in a small space a control room, a radio-controlled robot, power pack and hose reel. The operator can therefore have an agile and portable system that speeds up site set-up operations while maintaining high operating performance and productivity.

 

SMART SERVICE KIT: VIRTUAL REALITY FOR HANDS-FREE ASSISTANCE

Smart Service Kit is a virtual reality system that supports customers to carry out training activities in an even more effective and timely manner. Thanks to interactive glasses, it will be possible to visualise and interact in real time with images, save files and show technical sheets. The operator can have their hands free from other devices and concentrate 100% on their work, all in a fast, intuitive and functional way.

 

THE RANGE OF GEROTTO ROBOTS

Since 2002, year of the first robot prototype, Gerotto Federico has developed solutions to clean and reclaim industrial sites such as refining, oil and gas, pharmaceutical, chemical, and mines. One of its robots is the Lombrico S EX0, a high-performance solution for Atex Zone 0 that, thanks to accessories, cameras and 4.0 equipment, allows full control over all phases of processing. The Bull range consists of underwater ROVs suitable for cleaning underwater environments that work in continuity, avoiding plant shutdown; Lombrico XXS is a compact and agile robot to enter in reduced entry spaces. Gerotto also has a new CCTV system for increasingly accurate control of cleaning operations and an evolved human-machine interface.
