Some Risks you cannot afford
Business can be about taking risks. However, in some areas even the
smallest risk is unacceptable. This is especially critical in the area of dairy
and food production safety and workplace safety.
Risks
• Hairline Cracks
• Pitting
• Poor Weld Finish
• Inadequate Repair Work • Ineffective Cleaning Processes
Consequences
• Lost Production Time
• Wastage
• Product Recalls
• Damaged Reputation
• Consumer Health Effects
These risks can be easily avoided with the correct prevention measures.
Manage the Risk
Patented technology developed by Invert Robotics, that allows a robot to climb
the internal surfaces of stainless steel equipment such as tanks, silos and dryers.
Robotic Inspection
Robotic Tank Inspection
The robots use high definition cameras to feed instant and highly
detailed images to a technician for analysis.

Maximises Safety and Eliminates Hazards
The robotic inspection method
reduces risk to staff and contractors
who have traditionally conducted
inspection work in a confined space
and at height.
Confined space permits for hazardous
work are no longer necessary, saving
time and hassle during preparation for
a job.
For dairy processors, Invert Robotics’
method eliminates the need to monitor
gas levels in a confined space before,
or during an inspection.
The Solution
Leading edge technology delivers precise inspections
The robots identify surface defects using
high definition cameras. The robot crawls
over the welds in a silo, tank or dryer,
allowing a technician stationed outside to
view video in real-time and identify
defects.
The Solution
The defect’s size and location are
recorded and presented in a detailed
inspection report.
The report enables clients to review the
findings with key team members and
allow for the scheduling of the most
appropriate maintenance work in
advance and in a cost effective way.

As much or as little detail as you need
The Solution
All raw data obtained during
the inspection is permanently
recorded and can be
provided on request.
• Video
• Photos
• Notes
Fast Inspections
Preparation time before an inspection
is vastly reduced compared with
traditional methods. There are less
permits to complete, scaffolding to
erect or ropes to rig.
The Solution
To complete a standard milk silo
inspection the robot will take 3 hours
to inspect all internal weld seams.
The use of multiple robots and
operators can allow a greater number
of inspections to be undertaken during
your maintenance period.

Plant Requirements
• Side or bottom manway for insertion of robot.
What we Need
• Access to top of plant required.
• Access to a removable connection (CIP inlet, vent or manway) to allow the
safety line and umbilical line to be secured.
What we Need
Perished seal material
trapped in sprayball
Safety line
secured to
stanchion

removed
• Removing the CIP device also allows for inspection of blockages.
Inspect plant internals for dry and clean surfaces.
What we Need
Wet surfaces, product residue and CIP residue can restrict the performance of
the robot and inhibit inspection.
Robotic inspection:
• Is the safest way to inspect stainless vessels for internal defects
• Allows you to make the right maintenance decision
• Enables third party review
• Provides a permanent record of condition
• Enables preventative maintenance programs
• Monitors defects over time
• Suitable for customer auditing
• Assist with capital planning.
