In wastewater systems, confined environments such as silos, tanks, tunnels or ducts represent a real headache for maintenance. Limited access, dangerous atmospheres and dust all combine to make inspections time-consuming, costly and risky. For industry professionals, the question is clear: how to speed up these operations without endangering technicians? This is where the innovative technological solutions from Multinnovs innovative technological solutions, such as the Stereo2 (drone), and the Roview2 (robot), are changing the game - with their efficiency, speed, safety and economy.
Challenges and constraints of confined space inspections
Confined environments include spaces such as pipes, tanks, reservoirs, silos, ducts, tunnels or galleries. These spaces are cramped, often dark, damp, contaminated or poorly ventilated. The presence of humans in these areas exposes operators to major risks: lack of oxygen, falls, dust inhalation, poisoning, even collapse.
Conventional inspection procedures require the intervention of specialized technicians, often on ropes or scaffolding. These methods are costly, take several days, sometimes interrupt operations and require heavy protective equipment. What's more, they do not guarantee complete coverage: some areas remain difficult to reach, compromising the reliability of diagnoses and loss prevention.
New technologies for safety and efficiency
Stereo2 - The drone for confined spaces
The Stereo2developed by Multinnov, is a visual inspection drone specially designed for confined spaces. Compact and robust, it can operate in tight spaces (tanks, ducts, galleries). Equipped with a 4K camera, powerful LED lighting and high-end stabilization systems, it provides precision visual inspection in real time. Instant image feedback enables operators to immediately identify defects without having to physically access the site. The result: fast, documented and safe inspections, without human immersion.
Roview2 - The rolling and floating inspection robot
The Roview2 is a wireless TV inspection robot designed for use in pipes, partially flooded ducts and other hard-to-reach environments. It features a motorized 4K camera, 12,000 lumens of lighting, a 2-hour autonomous battery, and wireless transmission for cable-free remote control. As an amphibious bot, it floats in flooded ducts and remains stable up to 45° inclination. An intuitive interface provides the data required for ITV reports (NF EN 13508-2 standard).
Save time without compromise with Multinnov solutions
Enhanced safety
The use of Stereo2 and Roview2 eliminates the need to send operators into hazardous areas. No more risk of falling, being exposed to heat or contaminants. Drones and robots take the initiative, with control from the safe zone.
Rapid intervention
With no cables to unwind and no structures to erect, operations can be deployed in a matter of minutes. The Stereo2 and Roview2 drastically reduce inspection time - real-time diagnostics, fast video and photo transfer. The Roview2's wireless tool, in particular, eliminates cumbersome logistics and downtime.
Increased efficiency
The 4K images, full camera rotation (360°/180°) on the Roview2 and millimetric navigation on the Stereo2 provide complete coverage of the inspected areas. Anomalies - cracks, deposits, corrosion - are detected with unprecedented precision.
Cost savings and rapid ROI (return on investment)
Less downtime, fewer human resources, less logistics: inspection costs are significantly reduced. Switching to these technological solutions represents a profitable medium-term investment.
Innovation and technological sovereignty
These solutions are made in France, developed by Multinnov - a key player in robotic inspection innovation. Choosing these tools means supporting local industry, guaranteeing the availability of spare parts and benefiting from responsive technical support.
Confined environment inspections are essential for risk prevention and the maintenance of wastewater systems. Traditional, time-consuming and risky technologies are no longer adapted to today's requirements. Multinnov's Stereo2 and Roview2 solutions represent a revolution: high-definition visual inspection, rapid deployment, enhanced safety, time savings and economic efficiency.
By adopting these innovative solutions, companies can optimize their maintenance processes, guarantee the safety of their teams and achieve tangible savings - without compromise. The future of confined space inspection is already here, in the form of robust, precise tools designed for professionals.
