Bot or Not?
A robot makes sense when…
- The job is high, dangerous, or hard to reach
- It is huge or repetitive (acres, nights, square metres)
- You need data you will compare over time
- You need eyes on it right now
Hire a human when…
- It is small, low and one-off
- It needs hands, judgement or a repair
- Weather, permits or timing make robots awkward
- Nobody has defined the job yet
Here's the catch for this job
- Robotic inspection can avoid shutdowns or confined-space entry — ask what it saves you.
- Specify the reporting standard your insurer or regulator accepts.
- Ask whether data is reviewed by a certified inspector.
