dormakaba, ANYbotics AG (ANYbotics), and LEGIC Identsystems AG (LEGIC) have successfully tested a joint pilot at GE Vernova’s Whitegate power plant in Ireland. The partners are presenting the resulting solution at LEGIC connect26 conference in Zurich. Autonomous inspection robots can now move through access-controlled doors in industrial environments just like authorised employees. The collaboration among dormakaba, ANYbotics, and LEGIC lays the foundation for a future solution that will enable industrial customers to integrate autonomous robots into existing access-controlled environments.
The pilot demonstrates how robotics, secure digital identity and access management can work together in a live industrial environment. The “ANYmal” robot from ANYbotics uses a secure digital credential to request access to controlled areas. dormakaba’s access management and door automation then apply the same access rules used for authorised personnel, allowing the robot to pass through doors without manual intervention.
