Multi functional robots built to Assess, Clean, Inspect, and Repair Aboveground Storage Tanks (ASTs) without shutting them down.
The problem
Getting a straight answer about a tank still means taking it out of service and sending people inside.
Aboveground storage is among the most capital-intensive assets an operator owns, and it is still assessed on a schedule set by how long the tank can afford to sit empty. The cost shows up as lost throughput, exposure hours, and maintenance decisions based on data that has already aged.
01
Assets taken offline
A tank has to be emptied, degassed, and cleaned before it can be assessed and inspected, this means tank integrity work competes directly with throughput and therefore revenue.
02
People in confined spaces
Tank entry requires permits, breathing apparatus, and standby rescue teams for crews working inside a hazardous, oxygen-deficient tank. There is a better way.
03
Evidence that ages out
Findings arrive as a report weeks later, gets filed away, and in most cases hard to compare against the last inspection or trend toward the next.
Our solution
We put multi functional robots inside operating tanks so your crews stay out of confined spaces. Multi-purpose HazLoc submersible robots, certified field operations, and an AI Tank Intelligence Platform compress a weeks-long campaign into structured actionable insights.
Tank assessment
Map geometry, obstructions, sludge volume, and surface condition before the mission begins.
Tank cleaning
Fluidize, recover, and separate settled material without sending a crew inside.
Tank inspection
Capture visual and PAUT condition data while the tank remains operational.
Tank maintenance
Prepare surfaces and complete targeted interventions with remotely operated tooling.
Tank monitoring
Turn repeat missions and in-tank sensing into a condition trend.
Tank intelligence
Unify inspection, cleaning, repair, and asset-history data in one operating record.
Operational proof
A tank asset integrity model with less disruption.

Technology
Advanced ATR technologies
ATR is interested in projects where advanced robotics, nondestructive examination, and AI-enabled asset integrity solutions can reduce confined-space entry, personnel exposure, operational downtime, and total lifecycle cost. Our primary focus is on assets that benefit from in-service or minimally disruptive cleaning, inspection, data capture, and continuous condition monitoring.
[01]
Submersible HazLoc Robots
First of a kind multi-functional submersible HazLoc robot fleet designed to perform work beneath the hazardous liquid surface while the tank is in service. ATR Robots perform Tank Assessments, Tank Cleaning, Tank Inspection, and Tank Maintenance.
[02]
Robot Edge AI & Machine Vision
Best-in-class robot edge compute allows ATR robots to understand their environment, understand the work task, and execute complex missions with minimal human intervention. From situation awareness and mission plan optimization, to entanglement avoidance and corrosion detection; robot edge intelligence is critical for safe efficient ops.
[03]
Sludge Cleaning & Oil Recovery
Advanced submersible fluidization and suction robot tooling provide in-service cleaning, filtration, and recirculation solutions to minimize the cost of tank cleaning and optimize tank economic value. Secondary oil recovery processes provide additional client value.
[04]
Advanced PAUT inspection
Advanced robotic Phased-Array Ultrasonics Testing (PUAT) tooling identifies tank topsides and bottom side floor corrosion. Creating a characteristic map of the tank floor detects including size, grid location, and time, providing the basis for repeatable inspections and structural tread analysis.
[05]
Robot Swarm Ops
Multiple ATR Robots swarm operations with robots working simultaneously in teams to execute in-service robotic tank assessment, cleaning, inspection, and repair activities with shared situational awareness, centralized safety arbitration, task allocation and zoning, and consolidated data fusion.
[06]
Tank Intelligence Platform
The Tank Intelligence Platform provides clients with a single source of truth for Tank Asset Integrity, reducing tank inspection and maintenance schedules and costs, maximizing tank uptime, and optimizing tank asset economic value.
Robotic Fleet
A multi-Purpose robotic work platform, configured with mission-specific assessment, cleaning, inspection, and recovery tooling.
[02]
MP Robot + Cleaning Tool
The cleaning tool fluidizes and extracts sludge inside the tank with recirculation and oil recovery operations outside the tank.
[03]
MP Robot + Inspection Tool
The inspection skid combines phased-array ultrasonics, machine vision, and positioning for repeatable floor-condition corrosion mapping.
[04]
MP Robot + Recovery Tool
The Dual Function robotic recovery manip provide the MP Robot with cutting, gripping, cupping, and precise close visual inspection capabilities.
How it works
Inside a mission, end to end.
Tank Intelligence Platform
The digital twin that turns every mission into a living operating record.
Certification in progress
Hazardous-location certification is underway. Applicable ratings and the operating envelope will be published when testing is complete.
API-first platform
Structured data can move into CMMS, ERP, and reliability systems without manual handoffs.
Audit-ready reporting
Every mission creates a timestamped evidence package for engineering, insurance, and regulatory review.
Industries
Built for the infrastructure that supports our way of life.
One inspection approach for storage assets across terminals, refining, chemical processing, and remote marine environments.
01
Tank terminals
Large tank farms where inspection quality, product availability, and predictable maintenance windows matter most.
02
Refineries
High-consequence sites that need clearer tank-condition data without another confined-space campaign.
03
Offshore
Remote, space-constrained assets where sending a robot reduces risk and extends asset life.
04
Marine vessels
Cargo and ballast tanks on vessels, where the survey window is short and every entry permit is expensive.
What makes us different
No humans in confined spaces.No scheduled shutdowns.Live data from every mission.
