Confined Spaces:

An Arena for Endless Possibilities
Reducing the risks of entry with robotic
vessel inspection solutions.

A worker enters a confined
space and collapses.
Coworkers attempt to rescue thefallen worker but also becomecasualties of a toxic environment.

How the BIKE Reports Better Data

Confined Space API 510 Compliant Inspection Report
Internal inspections are about collecting important data, determining the cause of theobserved damage, and then using that data to determine if the equipment can continue
to operate safely. Our inspection reports generate automatically, and the data can beuploaded into asset performance management systems. Below is the type of data you’ll
receive from a generated report.

Despite increased training, greater availability of safety equipment
and rescue personnel, and written entry safety rules mandated byOSHA, workplace deaths in 2018 were nearly double that of 2012. This
all-too-common occurrence can be avoided with robotic vessel
inspection solutions from Waygate Technologies.
•Pan, tilt, zoom, and see everything
you need to see in high definition
with the PTZ HD30.

•Automatically geotag images withthe telescoping 3D LOC POLE.

•

Gather better data across every inch
of a vessel’s internals and externals froma safe, remote location with the BIKE
robotic crawler.

•Combine all inspection data to a single
digital twin using 3D LOC software.

Beyond providing a safer, lower-risk method for observing
conditions, our API-compliant inspection solutions
outperform the competition at every turn,generating high-quality NDT data andimages that exceed human capabilities
of using eyesight alone. Looking at thebigger picture, our solutions reduce
the total turnaround time by up to 70%,saving you both time and money.

PTZ HD30

3D LOC and 3D LOC POLE

See the full picture without having to take it yourself.

Spatial intelligence for more efficient inspections.

When too close is too dangerous, the PTZ HD30 answers the call. This powerful, industrial
camera comes equipped with a 30x optical zoom for sharp, clear images — even at longdistances. The full HD image quality comes with noise reduction and de-fog features, making
its LED illumination superior to any other inspection camera on the market. The PTZ HD30 is 3D
LOC-enabled so images can be geotagged to a digital twin. Its capacity for image collection
allows for historical comparisons to identify and track changes to tanks or vessel profiles.

A novel approach to confined space robot localization, 3D LOC software provides full
spatial awareness inside the inspected asset. Inspection data is automatically taggedwith the precise position in the asset, and a digital twin containing all the inspection data
(e.g., text, images, files) is maintained. Inspection reports are generated automatically,
and the data can be uploaded into asset performance management systems.

The camera can also be attached to the Waygate Technologies BIKE and FAST RVI robotic
platforms to extend the reach and obtain close-up images inside confined spaces.

And with the 3D LOC POLE, you won’t have to resort to twisting a pole up and down. The 3D
LOC POLE does all of the positioning for you — providing 3D spatial awareness for inspection
inside the asset, as well as 3D interactive camera control.

Entry into confined spaces no longer needs to be a major risk tothe safety and health of those involved in operations, thanks torobotic vessel inspection solutions from Waygate Technologies.

BIKE
Overcome every obstacle. Literally.
Get better inspection data remotely across every inch of confined space with the BIKE, the only
magnetically wheeled robot capable of maneuvering in even the most rugged environments.
The BIKE boasts an ability to work through size constraints, temperature extremes, and difficult
geometries to nonetheless reach target locations. Equipped with ultrasonic probes and/or a
pan-tilt-zoom camera, this four-wheeled robot can climb vertical walls, inside and outside pipeline
structures, and pass over complex combinations of convex and concave step obstacles. With theuse of 3D LOC, the BIKE automatically tags NDT data with its exact coordinates to the 3D digital twin.
Multiple additional modules such as ultrasonic or eddy current probes, video borescope probes, or
structured light cameras are available to extend the function of the robot and open new ways forinspection without human entry in confined spaces.
