Waygate Technologies Robotics
Mobile inspection and maintenance robotics is a fast growing industrial market. One of the main advantages of mobile robots is that they can reach locations inaccessible by humans because of size constraints, temperature, immersion in liquids or safety reasons. Certified and experienced engineers today enter and “look” at the predefined locations to take pictures for reporting. Beside very expensive organizational issues such as watchmen and ventilation this procedure is very dangerous for the experts.
In this framework, the BIKE inspection robot has been developed. The BIKE platform is a magnetic wheeled robot capable of inspecting power plant facilities and multiple applications in the oil&gas industry, such as vessel or pipe inspection.

PTZ HD30
Visual inspections are by far the most performed industry inspection. The PTZ HD30 is a powerful industrial graded inspection camera for remote visual inspections.The camera is equipped with a 30x optical zoom which allows to get very sharp footage even from great distances. The image quality is full HD and comes with noise reduction and de-fog features. The light LED output outperforms any other inspection camera on the market.isual inspections are by far the most performed industry inspection.

ICS 2
To operate a robotic inspection system in an industrial environment it is crucial to have a reliable control station. With the second generation of Integrated Control Station – ICS 2- the operator has the all-in-one tool at his hand. It comes in a rugged hardshell case (Pelicase®). All embedded components such as the 21.5″ touchscreen, high performance PC or Joystick are selected according to industrial standards. This means extreme robustness and reliability in harsh environments as well as guaranteed spare parts for 10 years.
Simplicity and ease of operation was key when developing the ICS 2. The operator needs to plug one single cable to connect the robot platform. Operation by use of the integrated joystick is simple and self explaining.

FAST RVI HD
Visual Inspection is the most performed inspection type in Oil & Gas industry – 80% of all inspection are VT. For documentation and reporting purposes the inspector uses camera and video footage. Today’s cameras make it possible to safely and remotely inspect most hard to reach locations. The camera is typically mounted on a pole to reach the location of interest. Using the FAST RVI, the reach and precision of these inspections are greatly increased.

3D LOC
We have developed a novel approach to confined space robot localization. The technology provides full 3D spatial awareness of the robot in the asset and a 3D interactive robot control. Inspection data is automatically tagged with the precise position in the asset, and a digital twin containing all the inspection data is maintained. Inspection reports are generated automatically, and the data can be uploaded into asset performance management systems.
