The connected refinery: orchestrating robots, drones, and data across EMEA and the Americas

Oil & gas refineries and processing facilities across EMEA and the Americas are being rapidly rewired. Ground robots now handle routine rounds in hazardous zones, drones inspect flare stacks and offshore assets without shutdowns, and fixed sensors deliver continuous insights on equipment health, leaks, and emissions.

The challenge for operators has shifted from proving autonomous technology works to integrating it seamlessly — across single sites and, ultimately, entire global estates.

Register today for exclusive insights:

•  What a coordinated mixed fleet looks like — ground robots, drones, and sensors operating together in day‑to‑day refinery environments 
•  How operators turn diverse data into intelligence — trusted, governed, and actionable
•  Where measurable value emerges — enhanced labour productivity, reduced rope‑access and confined‑space exposure, faster anomaly response, and lower unplanned downtime
• What’s next for scaling — agentic AI, autonomous decision‑making, and the ecosystem partnerships required over the next 24 months
