OMS :: Robotic Solutions Primarily for the Global Energy Sector, Including Oil And Gas, Offshore Wind & Nuclear Applications

OMS is a UK-based measurement, inspection and remediation company with over 20 years of experience providing innovative robotic solutions primarily for the global energy sector, including oil and gas, offshore wind, and nuclear applications. Headquartered in Stansted, Essex, the company develops and deploys advanced crawler robots, laser measurement tools, and automated remediation systems that operate inside pipes and other hard-to-access infrastructure. Its technologies help clients ensure pipeline integrity, identify weld defects, perform precise internal inspections, and carry out targeted repairs without the need for extensive excavation or manual intervention.

OMS’ robot-based products centre on its family of AGILITY crawlers and related robotic platforms. These wheeled, diameter-variable robots are equipped with high-resolution cameras, laser profilers, and sensors that enable detailed visual testing, laser profilometry, and corrosion mapping inside pipes ranging from small-bore to large-diameter pipelines. Key robotic offerings include the AGILITY crawler series adapted for nuclear pipework to detect stress corrosion cracking, the SmartGrind automated grinding system that performs precise weld remediation inside pipelines, and specialised inspection crawlers for J-tube remediation in offshore wind installations.

The company also integrates its robotics with proprietary laser-based pipe-end measurement and fit-up systems, ovality checking tools, and bevel inspection robots. These platforms are used for mechanically-lined pipe inspection, weld overlay verification, HiLo measurement, and SmartFit services that optimise pipe alignment before welding. All systems are designed for operation in hazardous or confined environments and support 24/7 deployment on major energy projects worldwide.

OMS serves major contractors such as McDermott, Subsea7, and Saudi Aramco, delivering projects that improve safety, reduce downtime, and extend asset life. The company holds multiple patents and has received three Queen’s Awards for Innovation.
