Robotic refueling and autonomous systems specialist Stratom has partnered with Imenco (Booth B2322), a Norwegian company that makes helicopter refueling systems for offshore activities, to develop an autonomous refueling system for industrial, aviation, defense, and offshore industries around the world.
According to Stratom, the new partnership will provide clients with a safe and sustainable refueling system that will help organizations streamline their operating efficiency, optimize resources, and maximize human capital.
“This partnership is a great opportunity for both Imenco and Stratom to combine their innovative technologies to offer clients a complete remote operating refueling system,” said Ross Edmonds, Imenco’s aviation sales manager. “With our FuelScan&nbsp;Series of refueling systems and Stratom’s autonomous capabilities, we can offer a complete refueling, testing, and reporting system that removes the need for human interaction.”
Imenco’s FuelScan&nbsp;products continuously and automatically monitor fuel levels through self-sampling, and its activity logs can be accessed from any location. Under the new partnership, FuelScan&nbsp;will work in concert with Stratom’s Rapid&nbsp;autonomous refueling and liquid transfer system to deliver what the companies say will be the “best-in-class” autonomous robotic refueling system.
“At Stratom, we are enthusiastic about the opportunity to bring two forward-thinking advanced technology companies together, combining our expertise and innovative solutions to reinforce the value robotic refueling and autonomous supply delivers,” said Mark Gordon, president and CEO of Stratom. “With Imenco’s diversified track record and global market presence, we recognize that we are stronger together—and the unique alignment between organizations will undoubtedly unlock benefits that propel this technology forward.”
Colorado-based Stratom says its robotic refueling business stands to benefit from Imenco’s deep knowledge of fuels as well as its presence in offshore and European markets. Likewise, the partnership will enable Imenco to expand its presence in the U.S. market.
