Robotic gas-leak inspection

Combine acoustic direction and selected gas sensing around process assets.

Configure HYVIS robotic routes with directional acoustic capture and site-selected gas sensors to collect evidence around pipelines, valves and restricted process areas.

Representative application environment

Final platform, route and sensing configuration are site validated.

The inspection challenge

Inspect distributed leak-risk locations without separating the reading from its physical source.

Acoustic signatures and gas readings can vary with wind, background equipment, sensor placement and the selected substance. A useful workflow connects the signal, direction, route position and visible asset for trained review.

Directional acoustics

A microphone array configured to evaluate selected airborne sound signatures and direction.

Selected gas sensing

Sensor modules chosen for the target gas, expected range and environmental conditions.

Rugged access

A route platform selected around terrain, clearances and site restrictions.

Application workflow

From site route to reviewable evidence.

The technology is selected after the inspection target and operating process are understood. Each stage creates an input for the next decision.

  1. 01

    Define the target risk

    Identify the gas, asset class, route, background conditions and response procedure.

  2. 02

    Baseline the environment

    Record representative acoustic and environmental conditions before configuring alerts.

  3. 03

    Run the inspection route

    Collect acoustic, selected gas and visible evidence at registered locations.

  4. 04

    Review and respond

    Present the source evidence and route context to the team responsible for confirmation.

Evidence the workflow can produce

  • Directional acoustic observations
  • Selected gas-sensor readings
  • Visible asset and route context
  • Time, location and review status

Validation note

No sensor detects every leak under every condition. The selected gas, airflow, background noise, sensor position and response thresholds must be assessed and validated at the site.

Application questions

What buyers usually need to confirm.

Can an acoustic array locate a gas leak?

It can provide directional evidence for selected sound signatures when the source has an airborne acoustic path and the background environment supports detection.

Which gases can be monitored?

Gas modules are selected for the specific substance, expected concentration range, environment and project requirements.

Does an alert confirm a leak?

An alert is evidence for the site's authorised confirmation and response procedure; it is not a universal declaration of root cause.

Site-specific assessment

Define the route, target and evidence before selecting the robot.
