When it comes toTV inspection of underground networks, confined spaces and industrial structures, innovation is a must. Operators have to contend with ever more demanding environments, often restricted access and increasingly stringent safety standards. Long dominated by trolley-based systems, TV inspection is now undergoing a major transition. With the Roview2, Multinnov introduces a inspection robot solution that's radically different, more mobile, more efficient and, above all, designed for the realities of the field. This made-in-France ITV camera robot embodies a new generation of ITV cameras, designed to push back the limits of what traditional forklifts have been able to achieve.
Roview2: key innovations
The Roview2 is more than just an ITV camera. It's a concentrate of on-board technologies in an ultra-compact format, designed to operate in confined environments often inaccessible to humans and conventional equipment. Every detail of its design is based on the imperatives of performance and robustness.
First and foremost, the robot stands out for its versatility of movement. Unlike most trolley-mounted cameras, which require an even, dry surface, the Roview2 can operate on any type of surface: concrete, rubble, metal, mud, even water. This floating capability is invaluable in wet networks or partially filled basins, where no conventional system can intervene effectively.
Its 4K ITV camera mounted on a motorized turret offers total visibility. Horizontal rotation through 360° and vertical rotation through 180° enable the entire environment to be viewed, without having to reposition the robot. This extended field of vision is complemented by LED lighting of up to 12,000 lumens, guaranteeing excellent image quality, even in the darkest environments.
Another of the Roview2's major assets is its real-time video transmission. The operator benefits from live feedback in Full HD, while simultaneously recording in 4K. Data can be consulted immediately, facilitating analysis and decision-making, and reducing intervention times.
With a battery life of almost 2 hours, the Roview2 offers unprecedented freedom of action. It is not dependent on any cables, which reduces the risk of jamming or breaking, and simplifies field interventions. Last but not least, its 100% French manufacturing guarantees high quality standards and complete traceability, at a time when technological sovereignty is becoming a strategic issue.
Comparison with conventional ITV trucks
For many years, traditional ITV carts have been the benchmark solution for inspecting sewer networks, pipes and certain technical tunnels. The principle is simple: a camera is mounted on a small motorized or towed vehicle, connected to a cable which supplies it with energy and transmits the images.
In practice, however, these systems have many limitations. They require cumbersome installation, with long cables, winches or reels, and a mobilized technical team. They are also highly sensitive to the topography of the terrain: uneven, sloping or slippery ground can quickly block their progress. Image quality, meanwhile, is often limited to HD, without full camera rotation, which reduces analysis capacity.
The Roview2 stands out in all these respects. Deployment is virtually instantaneous, with no infrastructure to install. It can be used by a single operator, reducing labor costs. Its all-terrain mobility enables it to operate in areas inaccessible to conventional forklifts, whether partially flooded pipes, uneven galleries or corroded metal structures.
In terms of image quality, the difference is equally significant. The Roview2's 4K sensor, combined with its motorized turret, makes it possible to capture details invisible with a standard cart. This makes it possible to detect micro-cracks, traces of corrosion or deposits that could lead to failure.
Finally, from an economic point of view, Roview2 enables faster, more targeted and therefore more profitable interventions. By limiting plant downtime, it contributes to better business continuity, while reducing the costs associated with site preparation.
Roview2, the foolproof inspection robot
The Roview2 's successalso lies in its ability to cope with extreme conditions. This inspection robot has been designed to operate where conventional equipment fails - and where sending a human would represent too great a risk.
In theenergy sector, it is already used to inspect technical tunnels, cooling pipes or inaccessible tanks. In environments such as nuclear power plants or chemical plants, it greatly reduces the exposure of technicians to sensitive or potentially contaminated areas.
In sewage networks, it adapts to partially filled pipes, detects subsidence, roots or blockages, and facilitates repair planning. In heavy industry, it can be mobilized to explore load-bearing structures, technical ducts or closed enclosures prior to dismantling.
Its mechanical robustness, resistance to humidity and aggressive products, and stability on slopes of up to 60° are all factors that justify its success with the most demanding operators.
In addition, Multinnov's user-friendly control and analysis software enables you to supervise a mission in real time, take notes, add comments and automatically produce an inspection report with key images.
With the Roview2, Multinnov sets a new standard forprofessional TV inspection. This inspection robot embodies technological performance,operational efficiency andFrench industrial excellence. By going far beyond the capabilities of a conventional ITV cart, it meets today's requirements and anticipates tomorrow's needs.
For manufacturers, local authorities and all those involved in the maintenance of critical structures, Roview2 offers a robust, precise and fast solution. It reduces human risks, optimizes intervention costs, and ensures complete traceability of operations. At a time when prevention is becoming a strategic performance lever, equipping yourself with a new-generation inspection robot like the Roview2 is no longer an option, but a strategic choice.
