Stratom Partners With Imenco to Advance Robotic Refueling Technologies

Stratom, a provider of robotic refueling and autonomous systems, and Imenco, a specialist in military and civil aviation refueling solutions for commercial aviation and offshore applications, this week announced they are partnering to bring best-in-class robotic refueling systems to customers worldwide.

Together they said they will provide proven advanced systems that deliver safe and sustainable autonomous refueling systems that boost business value for the industrial, aviation, defense, and offshore industries.

“This partnership is a great opportunity for both Imenco and Stratom to combine their innovative technologies to offer clients a complete remote operating refueling system,” said Ross Edmonds, aviation sales manager at Imenco. “With our FuelSCAN Series of refueling systems and Stratom’s autonomous capabilities, we can offer a complete refueling, testing and reporting system that removes the need for human interaction.”

Stratom said it specializes in autonomous cargo movement, robotic refueling, robotic hazardous liquid transfer, and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs). The Boulder, Colo.-based company added its military-proven tools, methods, technologies, and strategic services solve the most difficult logistics and operational challenges.

Imenco was established in 1979 as an engineering company and was for the first 20 years engaged in a variety of offshore projects. The engineering team is specialized in mechanical, hydraulics, and electronics engineering, and provides engineering services and tailor-made solutions for the world’s leading oil and drilling companies, marine companies, army & navy, aquaculture companies, and onshore industrial companies.

The companies said they will have a combined portfolio to equip organizations with the right tools to streamline operating efficiency, improve resource optimization, maximize human capital, and enhance decision-making when autonomously fueling aircraft, vehicles, and equipment.

What will be offered?

The offering includes RAPID, Stratom’s autonomous refueling and liquid transfer system, including its autonomous fuel port engagement capabilities. Imenco’s FuelSCAN series of products bring 24/7 automated fuel monitoring and self-sampling with activity logs that are remotely accessible from virtually any location. Together, Stratom and Imenco said they empower organizations with customized and comprehensive refueling solutions.

“At Stratom, we are enthusiastic about the opportunity to bring two forward-thinking advanced technology companies together, combining our expertise and innovative solutions to reinforce the value robotic refueling and autonomous supply delivers,” said Mark Gordon, president, and CEO of Stratom.

“With Imenco’s diversified track record and global market presence, we recognize that we are stronger together — and the unique alignment between organizations will undoubtedly unlock benefits that propel this technology forward,” he added.

Stratom will leverage Imenco’s offshore presence

Stratom said its robotic refueling solutions will benefit from Imenco’s in-depth fuels knowledge and presence in offshore, aviation, and European markets, as well as the Norway-based company’s extensive catalog of integrated fuel solutions, parts, and other equipment.

The partnership will also enable Imenco to further expand its presence in the U.S. market. The bolstered portfolio will help both organizations meet the unique needs of their growing base of commercial, military, and even recreational customers with advanced robotic refueling.

Imenco and Stratom will showcase their commercial aviation and offshore robotic refueling capabilities at the HAI HELI_EXPO in Atlanta, March 7 - 9, Booth B2322.
