Intelligent Mobile Robotic System for Precision Hole Drilling

Intelligent Mobile Robotic System for Precision Hole Drilling (IMRS)

In the period December 2023 – November 2025, the consortium of companies TEGRAD d.o.o., PIRNAR & SAVŠEK d.o.o. and KOVINC d.o.o. developed and launched a comprehensive digitized solution for automatic hole drilling.

The new product will be multi-functional for the automatic drilling of holes in railway and road tunnels and viaducts, which will facilitate the work of workers in a way that it becomes safer, faster and more accurate.

The goals of the project are:

  • more than 5 times faster drilling of holes for electrification purposes,
  • development of new knowledge and skills on system automation,
  • better quality and greater precision when drilling holes,
  • creation of new jobs and contribution to the development and growth of the economy,
  • greater efficiency and lower consumption of resources due to the automation of the hole drilling process.
