Which sensors does an inspection robot need?
That follows from the question of what your employees check on their inspection round today.
- Optical camera with zoom: meter readings, pressure gauges, labels, visible damage
- Thermal imaging camera: overheated terminal connections, bearing damage, temperature distribution
- Gas sensors: leaks, oxygen deficiency, hydrogen sulphide
- Acoustic methods: incipient bearing damage, partial discharge, leak noise
The sensors are often a larger cost item than the platform. Step-by-step expansion is possible, provided the interface is open.
An assignment of inspection tasks to sensors is contained in the guide for operators.
