AI-Integrated Robotic System Brings Next-Generation Automation to Trenchless Pipe Rehabilitation

ANDERSON, SC / ACCESS Newswire / February 13, 2026 / American Pipelining Solutions (APS), a leading partner in trenchless pipe rehabilitation technology, has announced the expansion of its advanced robotics portfolio with the addition of the Sewerbot system. This AI-integrated robotic rehabilitation platform enables contractors to repair underground pipe networks with unprecedented automation, reduced labor requirements, and minimal surface disruption.

The Sewerbot represents the next generation of intelligent trenchless technology, connected to a global Sewerbot network that shares operational data and insights across installations worldwide, continuously optimizing performance and reliability for all users. Utilizing single-touch automation with dual camera visualization and real-time remote operation, the system allows just one to two technicians to perform rehabilitation projects that traditionally required multi-person crews.

As an all-in-one solution, Sewerbot integrates both inversion equipment and powerful UV curing capabilities in a compact footprint, eliminating the need for external air compressors, air dryers, and other bulky support equipment. The system's AI-driven workflow handles liner preparation through QR-coded material scanning, inversion deployment, UV curing, and automatic cloud uploading of operational data for quality control and documentation.

"The Sewerbot represents the kind of focused, intelligent innovation the trenchless market is demanding right now," said Jake Saltzman, CEO of American Pipelining Solutions. "Our partnership with Polinvent goes back to day one at APS, when they provided resin for our original Versa-Patch system. Now, with the addition of SewerBot, we're expanding that foundation to deliver a compact, high-performance UV-curing platform purpose-built for small-diameter rehabilitation, with exceptional precision and reliability. Together with our Versa-Light and Versa-Light X systems, Sewerbot strengthens APS's position as the leader in specialized UV curing technology and reinforces our commitment to driving the next generation of trenchless solutions."

"The Sewerbot was designed to solve the real-world challenges that modern contractors and plumbers face: labor shortages, the need for precision, and the drive for operational efficiency," said Nick Patrick, President of Polinvent USA. "By deepening our history with APS, we are ensuring that these 'smart' installation solutions reach the lean, growing companies that need them most. The Sewerbot's AI integration allows smaller crews to achieve massive results, streamlining the entire rehabilitation process from start to finish. By combining our AI-driven installation methods with APS's deep industry expertise, we are making world-class automation accessible to the entire US market. Our partnership with APS is built on a foundation of reliability and forward-thinking, and we are proud to have them represent the Sewerbot as we redefine the future of the industry."

The Sewerbot system will debut at the 2026 WWETT Show (Water & Wastewater Equipment, Treatment & Transport) from February 16-19 at the Indiana Convention Center in Indianapolis. Attendees can see live demonstrations at APS Booth 3104.
