1 ROBOTICS OPERATORS FOR IECEX/ATEX OPERATION

2 The Company, ExRobotics ExRobotics is a leading international company specialized in robotic solutions for potentially explosive facilities. We produce Ex certified robots (ATEX and IECEx Zone 1) that can carry out safety checks at remote facilities.

3 Vision Be recognized as leading robotics firm with innovative solutions Known for our market experience Preferred by customer for the way we take responsibility.

4 Mission Our clients perceive and value us for our professional expertise, way of working and people skills. Create a safer working environment for operators whilst improving customer financial performance. Manufacture and sell ATEX & IECEx Zone 1 certified robots that can carry out safety checks at remote facilities.

5 Our robots are distinguished by their: Independence: they are self-charging and require no human intervention when stationed on unmanned facilities. Reliability: they are designed to operate for months, or even years, without maintenance Ruggedness: they can operate in a wide range of climates.

9 The existing ExRobotics product range and use cases (the range will evolve to suit new customer needs) product Status & Features Examples of Use Cases ExR-1 TRL Level 9: Taking bulk orders from July cameras with point and zoom & high definition snapshots. Stereo human hearing range microphone. Self-charging with 2-hour battery life. 4G or WiFi communications. Optional lights. ExR-1.1 TRL Level 4: Taking bulk orders from August 2018 ExR-1 plus autonomous navigation using white lines and beacons. Routine and ad-hoc inspections of normally unmanned gas facilities around The Netherlands. Operator sits in a central control facility and drives each robot in turn using its cameras and microphones as eyes and ears. This saves the operator s travel time. A similar use-case is inspection of de-commissioned offshore platforms. Routine inspections of normally unmanned facilities. Robot automatically navigates itself between inspection locations and pages the operator when it s on location and ready to inspect. This saves the operator s travel and walking time. ExR-1.2 TRL Level 4: Taking bulk orders from August ExR-1.1 plus gas/leak detectors e.g. FLIR G300a IR gas detector, Ion Science Falco PID detector, Honeywell 3000 Mk2 acid gas detector. Performs routine leak detection rounds without a human operator. It sends an alarm to the control-room if a leak is detected. The operator then takes control of the robot and inspects the potential leak. This saves the cost of an operator. ExR-2 TRL Level 4: Project suspended awaiting a customer. ExR-3 plus light-duty manipulation arm Robot is located on a normally unmanned offshore platform. If production trips a remote operator investigates the cause using the robot. If the trip is spurious the robot arm is used to restart production. If not the maintenance crew is better prepared for the intervention. This can reduce deferred production and the cost of intervention vessels. ExR-3 TRL Level 4: Taking bulk orders January 2019 New body shape with lower centre of gravity. Autonomous navigation designed to suit customer s location. As for ExR-1.2 except the robot will be able to navigate a wider range of facilities including stairs and elevated platforms.

10 ExR-1 Operations Surveillance Robot Business Challenges Cost of operations surveillance. Travel-related safety exposure to remote locations. Our solution Ex Zone 1 certified robot that can carry out safety checks at remote unmanned facilities. The robot is fitted with cameras, microphones and wireless communications to operate safely from the control room. Business Benefits Less human operators and less trips to unmanned facilities. Lower operating costs. Safety improvement, less people in hazardous locations.

11 ExR-1.1 Autonomous Operations Surveillance Robot Business Challenges Cost of operations surveillance. Inconsistent / insufficient data-gathering in production facilities. Our solution Ex Zone 1 certified self-driving/navigating robot that can carry out safety checks at remote unmanned facilities. The robot will be fitted with cameras, microphones and wireless communication that send warnings to the facilities control room. Business Benefits Less human operators and less trips to unmanned facilities. Reliably executes repeatable work processes. Better data-collection for operational surveillance. Lower operating costs. Safety improvement, less people in hazardous locations.

12 ExR-1.2 Autonomous Operations Surveillance Robot with gas & leak detection Business Challenges Early leak detection in increasingly environmentally aware societies. Our solution Ex Zone 1 certified self-driving/navigating robot. Carries an array of gas detectors that send an alarm is a leak is detected: Falco 1.1 explosive gas detector. Honeywell 3000 Mk2 acid gas detector FLIR G300a infrared gas plume detector Human operator takes control of robot over wireless network to investigate leak further. Business Benefits More cost effective, frequent, reliable inspections of facilities. Earlier leak detection. Lower operating costs. Safety improvement, less people in hazardous locations.

13 ExR-2 Operations Surveillance and Manipulation Robot Business Challenges Cost of operations surveillance. Relative high cost for simple manipulation activities. Our solution Ex Zone 1 certified robot that can carry out safety checks at remote unmanned facilities. The robot is fitted with cameras, microphones and wireless communications to operate safely from the control room. Manipulator can operate switches, small valves, door handles. Business Benefits Faster response to unplanned events less deferred production. Releases intervention vessels for more complex work. Cost reduction. Safety improvement, less people in hazardous locations.
