ULC Technologies

ULC Technologies is regarded as a pioneer in robotics engineering and technology development for the energy, utility, and industrial markets. Since its start in 2001, the focus of ULC has always been the enhancement of utility operations and the support of infrastructure improvement.

We combine cutting-edge design, complex custom software, world-class mechanical equipment, advanced machine learning algorithms, and top talent to create revolutionary robotics and unmanned systems to reduce operations and maintenance costs while meeting the increasingly complex demands of regulators, energy customers, and the general public.
 

• 20+ years of experience in the development and commercialization of complex robotics, machine learning and unmanned aircraft.
• Extensive knowledge and experience in the deployment of robotics and technology in real-world scenarios enable our team to develop field-ready solutions.
• Staffed by utility subject matter experts, skilled engineers, innovators and makers. We have the best minds in the field.

Mission

Responsible Innovation for a Sustainable Future
ULC holds itself to the highest standards to provide its customers with cutting-edge technology to advance daily operations. Our practice of “responsible innovation” means that each product and service we create helps utilities minimize their environmental impact, reduce social disruption, and enhance community safety.

Enhancing the Energy Customer Experience through Responsible Innovation
ULC Technologies confronts energy industry challenges head-on to revolutionize utility operations. The use of our innovative technology helps our customers maintain the socially and environmentally responsible practices necessary to benefit their customers.

Minimize Environmental Impact
ULC is developing advanced robotics to support net-zero goals and reduce carbon emissions. Technologies developed by our engineers are reducing pipeline methane leakage and eliminating the need to vent natural gas into the atmosphere.

Reduce Social Disruption
In order to repair and maintain buried infrastructure, energy utilities perform hundreds of thousands of costly, disruptive street excavations annually. The robotic systems we develop allow for significantly fewer excavations, minimizing the disruption and expense associated with such street work.

Enhance Community Safety
Through the development and deployment of robotic and unmanned aerial systems, ULC Technologies and ULC Pipeline Robotics enable rapid response to outages and emergency situations. Our technologies also provide unparalleled insight into infrastructure conditions, allowing for the identification of potential issues before they can even unfold.
