As AIS Field, two of our systems have been extremely active this year. The first is RUVI OilDiver, an in-service robotic tank inspection system. This robot operates submerged inside above ground storage tanks containing petroleum and chemical products. Having inspected more than 30 tanks worldwide so far, including those storing gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, and naphtha, the system continues to…
Traditional tank inspection requires storage tanks to be taken out of service. Depending on the tank size, this process can take several months, resulting in substantial costs and downtime for the tank owners. Additionally, human entry into confined and hazardous spaces poses significant health and safety risks, along with emissions and environmental waste. Therefore, in storage tank integrity management, the…
As we approach the midpoint of the year, we pause to reflect on the incredible journey we have been on. What a dynamic, productive and inspiring path it has been so far! Our site operations team has been on the move, successfully mobilizing across a diverse range of facilities in Turkiye, Italy and South Korea. These deployments have demonstrated not…
What are Inspection Robots? Inspection robots are specialized robotic systems designed to carry out examinations and monitoring tasks in challenging, hazardous or inaccessible environments, often referred to as “field” conditions. Equipped with advanced sensors, inspection robots efficiently collect data to evaluate the condition of critical industrial assets. Such robotic systems are increasingly utilized across various industries, including manufacturing, construction, energy…
