RobotPlusPlus is showcasing its latest maritime robotic technologies at Sea Asia 2025 in Singapore, reports Marine Insight.
Problems and Solutions
The company is showcasing its HighMate C20 Cargo Hold Cleaning Robot, which is specifically designed to address the challenges of cleaning cargo holds, especially those that have transported nickel ore.
- Problem:
- Nickel ore is notoriously difficult to clean due to its high moisture content, making it sticky and hard to remove.
- It also tends to accumulate in hard-to-reach areas like corners and crevices.
- Manual cleaning is labor-intensive and time-consuming.
- Solution:
- The HighMate C20 robot simplifies and accelerates the cleaning process.
- It can clean up to 95% of a cargo hold’s surface.
- It also reduces the dangers associated with manual cleaning at elevated heights.
User Friendly
The HighMate C20 Cargo Hold Cleaning Robot is designed to be easily operated by seafarers, with a user-friendly interface allowing them to learn the basic functions within a 10-minute timeframe. This ease of use makes the robot highly accessible for ship crews.
The robot is currently being demonstrated at Booth B2-Q25, where attendees can observe its capabilities in live demonstrations. The HighMate C20 was initially unveiled at SMM 2024 in Germany, and it is known for its advanced driving controls and flexible navigation, which enable it to operate effectively in confined spaces.
In addition to the C20, RobotPlusPlus is also showcasing the HighMate AP Series Multi-Function Robot, which is specifically designed for blasting and coating steel surfaces. This model is reported to be four times more efficient than traditional manual methods and has received certifications under ATEX and IECEx standards, ensuring its safe operation in potentially explosive environments.
