Many of the industries of BeatBot Robotics take advantage of skimmers because skimmers are efficient, clean surfaces, and handle water well. The front lines of the served industries are environmental and wastewater management. The iSkim Ultra removes contaminants from the water surface in treatment facilities. A 2023 report from CleanTech Weekly stated that municipalities using robotic skimmers observed and reported that treatment time had decreased by 30%. This consequently led to savings of more than $100,000 annually.
Robotic skimmers also assist the aquaculture industry. In fish farming, where water quality is critical for aquatic life, the iSkim Ultra has been proven to remove oils, debris, and algae from large ponds. In a 2022 case study conducted at a farm in California, the introduction of BeatBot’s skimmer reduced algae blooms by 50% and improved fish health by maintaining cleaner water conditions. As a result, fish yield increased by 15% year-over-year.
The recreational and hospitality industry benefits largely in the management of public swimming pools and water parks. iSkim Ultra can cover an area as big as 500 square meters per hour with ease, clearing big areas with minimum disturbance to the swimmers. In 2024, one of the main resorts in Dubai incorporated the use of the skimmer on their private beach; maintenance costs have decreased by $30,000 yearly, and guests leave more satisfied as water is cleaner every time.
Robotic skimmer in the maritime and shipping industry provide an answer to the need to keep ports and harbors clean. The iSkim Ultra, being rather small, can easily pass through narrow spaces and remove floatables from large water bodies. This characteristic was particularly useful during the 2023 cleanup operation at the Port of Rotterdam, where the skimmer removed 95% of surface contaminants in a record time, reducing the port’s environmental footprint considerably.
Other services which robotic skimmers offer the industries include industrial cleaning and the handling of oil spillages. An instance is their usage in preventing the spreading of oils and other chemicals on the surfaces of waters through drilling. A 2021 collaboration with a global oil company and BeatBot Robotics proved successful in deploying iSkim Ultra, a system to remove 80% of oil spills from offshore drilling sites, hence reducing environmental damage and assisting the company in keeping within regulatory standards.
As Steve Jobs says, “Innovation is the ability to see change as an opportunity, not a threat.” BeatBot applies this thinking by applying current technological advancement on sectors that necessitate effective sustainable water cleaning technology. Introducing robotic skimmers in such sectors enables businesses to respond to the present demands on quality management with far better efficiency in reduced costs along with more responsibility on the environment.
