Digital Visual Sidewall Scanning: Streamlining Collection And Analysis Of Inspection Data

Ease of integration. DVSS should complement your inspection program, not upend it. Make sure the DVSS system you choose integrates with the inspection and asset-tracking software already in use. This means you should be able to link data-based observations to regions of your scan, correlate scans to GIS/GPS data, and easily integrate those scans into reports.

Ultimately, DVSS allows plant and utility personnel to focus on what they do best. Crawler operators can dedicate their full attention to navigating inspection equipment through pipes, while other professionals can review pipe scans more efficiently, pinpoint problems, zoom in for greater scrutiny, and make annotations that are easy to share and archive. The net benefits are greater productivity, more robust data, and better intelligence upon which to base critical maintenance decisions.
