ROBOTIC SYSTEMS FAQS
Robotic inspection systems use cutting-edge technology to automate inspection tasks. They include remote control inspection cameras, crawl space inspection robots, drones and other mechanisms that can perform a variety of inspection tasks. They use lighting, cameras, video, sensors and NDT testing tools to inspect assets. They’re especially advantageous in areas that are difficult to reach or in environments that are hazardous to humans.
Inspection robots bring many benefits to NDT tasks, such as:
- Carrying out inspections in a far shorter time than it would take to be done manually. This means assets don’t need to be offline for long periods, therefore driving down the inspection costs.
- Removes the need for humans to enter hazardous or confined spaces.
- Can reach areas that humans are unable to.
- Can cover up to 100% of an asset area, returning accurate and reliable data without the risk of human error.
Some of the most commonly found inspection robots include crawl space inspection robots, remote control inspection cameras and drones/unmanned aerial vehicles.
Many industries are taking full advantage of robotic inspection, including oil & gas, marine, mining, infrastructure, manufacturing and power production. Some examples include:
- Confined space inspection, such as within buildings, crawl spaces and tankers.
- Infrastructure inspections of tunnels, pipelines, bridges etc.
- Hazardous space and non-oxygen atmospheres within assets and underground mining locations.
- Vast interior space inspections using indoor drones.
Yes, we can – and it’s one of the reasons that industry experts trust us with their NDT procurement requirements. We’re a world leader in bringing advanced robotic solutions to the mainstream, using technology to solve complex inspection tasks. This includes tailoring existing inspection robots by equipping them with cameras, sensors, lighting and testing equipment based on the inspection needs, as well as working with some of the best robotic companies to tailor-engineer solutions for one-off requirements.
Inspection robots are designed to be user-friendly and intuitive. Some are very simple to use – others take a little education or need to be operated by trained personnel. When you rent or lease equipment from Nexxis, we include any necessary tuition if the tool is designed to be self-operated.
Yes, with our partner Nexxis We provide inspection services with experienced specialists as well as equipment rental.
Many can, thanks to having the payload that allows NDT equipment to be fitted. Examples include UT, gas and chemical detection, thermal/infrared imaging, acoustic emission testing and magnetic particle testing.
Of course, and it’s included in all our packages. Our customer support is on hand for all our inspection robotics, crawlers and remote-control inspection cameras and allows you to have 24/7 access to expert advice whenever needed. We also provide any necessary training, both at the beginning and at any point during which you continue to rent or lease the equipment.
