Microwatt Brings ANYbotics’ GasGuard to Canada: Transforming Gas-Leak Detection

ANYbotics ANYmal robot with GasGuard gas-leak detection module – Microwatt Canadian partner and distributor

Calgary, Canada – August 28, 2025 – ANYbotics, a global leader in AI-driven robotic inspection solutions, has launched GasGuard, a powerful new gas-leak and presence detection module for its ANYmal inspection robot. This breakthrough is set to transform how industrial sites across Canada identify and manage hazardous and costly gas leaks.

As the official Canadian partner and reseller of ANYbotics, Microwatt is proud to deliver this cutting-edge technology to local industries; helping organizations enhance safety, reduce emissions, and achieve measurable cost savings

Why GasGuard Matters

Most industrial facilities still depend on fixed sensors or manual handheld checks. Fixed sensors only cover limited zones, leaving blind spots where leaks go undetected. Handheld inspections, meanwhile, put personnel at risk and take time away from higher-value tasks.

GasGuard eliminates these challenges. By turning the ANYmal robot into a mobile gas-detection platform, it provides autonomous site-wide coverage and real-time, actionable data—without exposing staff to danger.

How It works
GasGuard combines 360‑degree acoustic imaging with interchangeable gas sensors. The acoustic camera detects and visually pinpoints even small leaks, while the modular sensors measure specific gas concentrations such as hydrocarbons, ammonia, or oxygen. The system doesn’t just confirm a leak—it calculates leak rates and volumes, translating them into direct financial impact.

Data flows into ANYbotics’ inspection management platform, giving teams instant visibility and long‑term trends for planning maintenance.

Proven Results for Industry

Facilities already using GasGuard report:

  • Faster detection times

  • Improved safety performance

  • Measurable cost savings from avoided downtime

  • Reduced emissions supporting sustainability and compliance

For industries like oil and gas, chemicals, and metals, undetected leaks can cost thousands of dollars per day. GasGuard delivers a scalable, autonomous solution that ensures no zone is left unchecked.

Why it stands out?
Unlike static systems or basic handheld devices, GasGuard brings together autonomous mobility, modular sensing, and high‑resolution acoustic imaging in one package. It’s built for explosive environments and integrates with existing workflows through ANYbotics’ software platform. This combination means the technology scales with evolving needs,facilities can swap out sensors, update mission plans, and maintain a constant inspection routine without additional infrastructure.

The bottom line
GasGuard delivers safer sites, lower costs, and better operational control. For teams ready to move beyond reactive maintenance, it offers a proven way to detect, locate, and quantify leaks before they become incidents.
