From Turkiye to the World: AIS Field’s Robots on a Mission

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 deliver consistent value. Equipped with an ultrasonic inspection system and cameras, it performs corrosion mapping and visual inspections fully compliant with API 653, API 575, EEMUA 159 and EEMUA 247 standards. Thanks to this inspection robot, tank owners can conduct detailed inspections without any downtime.

The second is RUVI WallKer, a magnetic crawler designed for boiler inspections. With its permanent magnet wheels, the system climbs boiler waterwalls and inspects up to 16 tubes simultaneously, taking ultrasonic thickness measurements at every millimetre. It also includes cameras for visual inspection. Entire boilers can be inspected within just a few days, without scaffolding or human entry, providing major benefits to power plants in terms of cost, time and safety.

Both of these robotic systems have successfully completed national projects in Turkiye, inspecting power plant boilers and above ground storage tanks. They are now on their way to Spain and South Korea to complete final projects in 2025, and there are many more boilers and tanks ahead!

While our field teams are actively deployed with our inspection robots, our research and development engineers continue to drive innovation from our headquarters, developing next-generation versions of our systems and even prototyping new robotic maintenance solutions.

It has been an incredibly busy year, and we are proud of what we have achieved so far. Before the year ends, we will be announcing major updates that showcase our expansion across multiple continents.

Stay tuned for more updates from the field!
