Use case

Use cases

How our clients transform their maintenance with our robots

Explore our case studies to understand how our industrial inspection robots help clients achieve significant savings, improve the safety of their facilities, and obtain accurate and reliable inspection data.

UT_Pole

Inspection of suspect roofs

Operators are looking to extend the service life of tanks. UT inspection of uncertain roofs makes it possible to assess their condition without working at height.

Storage tanks

Floating roof inspection

Inspecting floating roofs on operating tanks involves various risks: structural defects, tilting, or perforation. Robotic inspection helps secure these assets.

Storage tanks

PM2I — ten-year inspection of a storage tank

Tanks storing hazardous products are subject to strict regulatory inspections. Inspection of shell courses without working at height thanks to our robots.

Altiscan

Thickness measurement of the shell of a small storage tank

Robotic thickness inspection without work at height for small tanks exposed to degradation that can weaken them.

Storage tanks

PM2I — internal inspection of an insulated tank

Internal inspection of an insulated tank exposed to degradation. Regulatory monitoring and inspection without putting operators at risk.

Altiscan

ALTISCAN validated on a storage tank

The Altiscan robot was tested and validated in real conditions on a storage tank. Operational validation of performance and reliability.

Altiscan

ALTISCAN inspects three storage tanks

Regulatory inspection of three storage tanks in winter conditions. Proof of Altiscan’s field robustness at -5 °C.

Altiscan

ALTISCAN deployed on TOTAL sites

The result of a collaboration between Roboplanet, Total, Institut de Soudure, and Mistras. Altiscan is now operationally deployed on TotalEnergies sites.
