In the world of industry, the inspection of technical installations is a requirement for safety, performance and regulatory compliance. Among these installations, ventilation ducts play a fundamental role in managing air quality, preventing fire hazards and maintaining optimum operating conditions. But inspecting these often narrow, winding and hard-to-reach structures is a real technical challenge.
Against this backdrop, the Roview2developed by Multinnovhas established itself as a benchmark solution. Designed to meet the specific constraints of confined environments, this compact, ultra-manipulable wireless inspection robot offers unrivalled efficiency on the market. This article explores the technical specifics of ventilation duct inspection, and why the Roview2 is the obvious choice.
The essentials for inspecting ventilation ducts
Inspecting a ventilation system requires more than just an on-board camera. You need to be able to operate in a narrow, winding, dark and potentially obstructed environment. When it comes to effective inspection, there are three essential criteria: compactness, wireless maneuverability and powerful lighting.
Reduced size to penetrate the narrowest networks
Ventilation ducts, particularly in industrial or commercial buildings, are often small in diameter, sometimes less than 40 cm, and are installed in complex configurations, between partitions, on ceilings or high up. In these conditions, sending a bulky or rigid robot is not an option.
The Roview2 has been designed to fit into these spaces. Its small size and featherweight (4 kg) enable it to be deployed easily, even in the most cramped networks. No need to dismantle structures, reducing intervention costs and downtime.
A wireless solution for total freedom of movement
One of the major problems encountered with traditional inspection systems is the presence of cables, which restrict the distance covered, hamper manoeuvring in tight bends and expose you to the risk of blockages. These wired systems often require partial inspection, or even the dismantling of sections of conduit.
The Roview2 is radically different in that it operates without wires. This means it can navigate freely in ducts, negotiate tight bends, climb slopes and explore entire sections without interruption. This unique feature makes it particularly
suitable for confined, winding environments, such as ventilation ducts or technical duct networks.
Powerful lighting for precise visual inspection
Ventilation ducts are by definition dark places, and it is imperative to have an integrated lighting system powerful enough to guarantee a complete and reliable inspection. Spotting cracks, obstructions, deposits or damage requires optimum visibility.
The Roview2 is equipped with powerful LEDs of up to 12,000 lumens, ensuring uniform, intense illumination. Combined with a rotating 4K camera, it delivers high-definition images that can be used immediately by operators or archived for later analysis. This image quality is a major asset when it comes to making accurate diagnoses or preparing targeted interventions.
Roview2, the machine that meets all criteria
Developed by Multinnovthe Roview2 embodies French technological excellence in the field of visual inspection in confined spaces. It doesn't just meet market needs: it anticipates them.
A robot designed for performance in real-life conditions
The Roview2 is the result of meticulous design focused on ease of use, reliability and robustness. Unlike many hybrid or overly-specialized solutions, it is designed to be versatile: ventilation ducts, duct networks, partially-filled ducts, shafts, hoppers and more.
Key technical features include
- 4K HD camera with 360° (horizontal) and 180° (vertical) rotation : complete coverage of the environment, with no blind spots.
- 12,000 lumens LED lighting : inspection possible even in total darkness.
- Long-range wireless transmission : up to 500 m depending on the environment.
- Total weight of 4 kg : easily handled by a single person.
- 2-hour battery life : for long, uninterrupted inspections.
- NF EN 13508-2 standard : compliance with European ITV (television inspection) standards.
A safety advantage for operators
By eliminating the need to send an operator into a confined space, the Roview2 makes a major contribution to reducing the risk of workplace accidents. It also reduces insurance costs and the regulatory constraints associated with working in confined spaces.
An economical, sustainable solution
The Roview2 makes it possible to carry out more inspections, more quickly, with fewer resources. By eliminating cables, heavy equipment and human intervention in hazardous areas, it offers a rapid return on investment. What's more, its made-in-France design guarantees spare parts availability and compatibility with local industrial requirements.
The inspection of ventilation ducts is a critical step for any company concerned with safety, energy efficiency and regulatory compliance. But these cramped, hard-to-reach environments impose severe technical constraints, which few solutions are able to meet.
With the Roview2, Multinnov offers innovative, reliable, high-performance and intuitive technology, perfectly adapted to the challenges of confined spaces. Its wireless design, maneuverability, lighting power and image quality make it a benchmark tool for professionals in construction, industry and technical maintenance.
By investing in a solution like Roview2companies are choosing performance, safety and French innovation for the most demanding industrial applications.
