Article Abstract:
Innovative Business Solutions (INBIS) designed a multi-purpose manipulator for use in decommissioning procedures at Sellafield in Cumbria and in line with the individual requirements of four BNFL project teams. The Commander robotic arm was developed in cooperation with BE Ltd, engineering subsidiary firm located at Salford Quays.
