THE REAL REACH OF REMOTELY OPERATED ROBOTICS

Christophe Bordeleau runs through Eddyfi Technologies’ inspection services when it comes to testing, sampling, and data collection activities within storage tanks, the industry has undoubtedly witnessed the trend towards increased productivity offered with robotic solutions. In an age where the ‘by hand or unmanned’ question is being asked more and more with the heightened priority towards worker and environmental safety, the benefits of mobile inspection robots help make the decision easy. When faced with work at heights, within confined spaces, or other hazardous regions encountered at tank terminals, robots present a welcomed safer alternative for routine operations. Eddyfi Technologies, a world leader in advanced non-destructive testing (NDT) technologies, has unlocked a world of possibilities by combining its NDT modalities and remotely operated robotic crawlers for tank integrity assessments, maintenance, and more. The company has a dedicated Center of Excellence for Robotics. This is the result of the strategic acquisition of Inuktun Services, which earned a reputation as the expert in remote-controlled robotic transport and delivery of visual inspection equipment...
