Pipe inspection is a key component in the maintenance of industrial, drinking water and wastewater infrastructures. Regular inspection of these systems prevents blockages, leaks or other failures, ensuring their smooth operation, reduced long-term maintenance costs, and above all, the safety of people and the environment.
Confined-space inspections are a constant challenge for companies. Many sectors, such as power plants, the petrochemical industry or cement plants, need to regularly monitor installations that are sometimes difficult to access, to ensure their safety and avoid costly breakdowns. This is where Multinnov's Stereo2 drone comes in, offering an innovative, high-performance solution to the specific constraints of indoor inspections.
With the rapid evolution of imaging technologies, the world of industrial inspection has reached a new milestone with the adoption of 4K resolution. Many sectors are now seeking to improve the accuracy and efficiency of their inspection processes to meet growing quality and safety standards. In this context, Multinnov's solutions stand out by offering cutting-edge technologies tailored to the specific needs of each industrial sector, whether examining complex structures, pressurized equipment or hard-to-reach environments.
In an increasingly unstable economic climate, industrial companies are facing major challenges. Budget restrictions, the pressure to maintain high safety standards, and the need to comply with strict regulations are creating considerable strain on available resources. In times of financial crisis, it becomes imperative to find innovative solutions to reduce costs while maintaining essential industrial inspections. The use of drones is proving to be an ideal response, bringing considerable benefits in terms of both profitability and efficiency.
Inspections of sewer networks and underground infrastructures require reliable, robust solutions capable of covering long distances. In this context, the distance covered by an inspection cart is one of the essential criteria for ensuring a complete and efficient assessment.
Sewage networks play an essential role in wastewater management, ensuring the safety and smooth operation of urban and industrial infrastructures. Their maintenance is essential to prevent blockages, leaks or deterioration of pipes, which are potential sources of pollution and additional costs. However, due to the difficult environment and restricted access to pipes, inspections are a real challenge.
Pipeline inspections are essential to ensure the safety and efficiency of industrial and urban infrastructures. Whether for drinking water networks, sewage systems or industrial pipelines, regular pipe monitoring helps detect anomalies before they turn into costly breakdowns.
The use of drones in industry has dramatically transformed the way many companies manage their inspections and maintenance. These aerial devices, capable of providing real-time data, have made it possible to optimize complex, often costly processes, while reducing risks to workers.
Safety in the workplace is a paramount concern, especially in industrial settings where environments can be dangerous and unpredictable. From chemical plants to oil rigs and construction sites, workers are exposed daily to physical hazards, potential accidents and human error. The complexity of certain manual tasks can accentuate the dangers, particularly when operations have to be carried out at height, in contaminated areas or in confined spaces.
Confined-space inspections are essential operations for ensuring the safety and maintenance of infrastructures such as pipelines, reservoirs, sewers and tunnels. However, these environments are often difficult to access, dangerous for human operators, and pose specific challenges in terms of safety, efficiency and visibility. Thanks to technological advances, inspection robots like Multinnov's Roview2 and Stereo2 offer effective solutions to overcome these challenges. This article highlights the five main obstacles encountered when inspecting in confined spaces, and how these robots help solve them.
