We know the stakes are high in the petrochemical world—where a stray spark from hot work or a vapor leak can turn a routine shift into a full-blown emergency. That’s why at WatchDog Robotics, we’re focused on delivering autonomous fire suppression systems that are fast and effective. Our NozzleBot™ and NozzleBot™ HD units are like having a 24/7 fire watch team on call—without the fatigue, human error, or exposure risk.

​

Why Traditional Fire Protection Falls Short

Refineries, processing plants, and terminals are complex, high-risk environments. Flammable liquids, volatile gases, and ongoing hot work make fire hazards an everyday reality. The moment something ignites, it’s not just equipment on the line—it’s lives, timelines, and millions in production. Manual fire watch crews can only do so much. Traditional sprinkler systems often activate too late or may not be practical for shorter term needs.

We believe fire suppression should be smarter, faster, and tailored to the real-world risks on your site.

The WatchDog Answer: Robotic NozzleBot™ Autonomous Fire Suppression

Our NozzleBot™ and NozzleBot™ HD systems are built to respond with unmatched speed and accuracy:

• Rapid Hazard Detection
  Using Triple Infrared (IR3) flame detection, thermal imaging, and smart sensors, NozzleBots detect ignition points within 12 seconds. Sparks, heat spikes, and sudden flare-ups don’t go unnoticed.

• Precision Fire Suppression
  Instead of blanket coverage, our units deliver targeted water or retardant with 360° directional control—maximizing effectiveness and minimizing collateral damage.

• Off-Grid Dependability
  From pipeline ROWs to remote pads, NozzleBots can be configured to be self sufficient—ideal for rugged environments or during planned shutdowns when utilities are offline.

Tailored Protection for Refineries, Storage Terminals & Field Sites

Whether you're walking down a site pre-construction, working through a turnaround, or navigating day-to-day operations, WatchDog’s fire suppression adapts to your environment.

• The NozzleBot™ covers up to 140,000 square feet, reaching 212 feet with water or retardant—ideal for tank farms, hot work areas, or laydown yards.

• The NozzleBot™ HD delivers a powerful 1,500 gallons per minute over 262 feet, protecting critical infrastructure with force and speed.

• We help place and configure units where they’re needed most—near flare stacks, fuel storage, process units, or wherever your Landman says, “don’t lose this lease.”
