Laser Photonics Corporation, along with Fonon Technologies and Boston Engineering, announced on January 28, 2025, the public unveiling of a transformative laser cleaning-enabled robotic crawler. This groundbreaking technology was demonstrated at the Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard & Intermediate Maintenance Facility (PHNSY & IMF) Technology & Capabilities Demo. The robotic crawler autonomously scales ship hulls and structures to remove corrosion, clean surfaces, and perform other material processing tasks with precision. This innovative solution aims to bring unmatched efficiency, safety, and precision to Naval maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) operations, addressing the Navy’s $23 billion annual corrosion challenge. Integrating advanced laser cleaning technology from Laser Photonics and Fonon Technologies with Boston Engineering’s robotic crawler provides a powerful tool for optimizing MRO processes. This strategic partnership is poised to revolutionize defense, maritime, shipbuilding, and repair industries by enhancing worker safety and operational efficiency.
