01
Repetitive work and exposure
Distributed assets and frequent rounds create repetitive work. Heat, noise and restricted passages complicate access and fragment records.
Impact: recurring effort and site exposure
INDUSTRIAL INSPECTION / INSPECTION
Industrial inspection.
Bring inspection to the asset. Bring evidence back.
Navigate repeatedly to inspection points and combine visual, thermal or task-specific sensors with data capture, anomaly assessment and remote collaboration.
Platform motionEnvironment sensing01 / FIELD CHALLENGES
Repeatable access, consistent capture and timely response.
Define the solution around actual operating conditions.
02
Complex access and platform motion
Narrow passages, transitions and uneven ground affect access. Legged-platform motion also changes sensor pointing and observations.
Impact: less consistent visits and measurements
03
Incomplete exception workflows
Inspection goes beyond photographs. Readings, thermal or acoustic anomalies need asset, time and location context, alerts and follow-up actions.
Impact: poor traceability and slower follow-up
02 / SOLUTION ARCHITECTURE
Connect autonomous access to inspection follow-up.
HopoEngine and navigation devices support pose and environmental perception. Payloads capture inspection data; the inspection platform handles analysis, records and collaboration. Clear responsibilities support integration.

APPLICATIONCapture, alerts and review records
Configure missions, records and feedback with the application system.
01
Autonomous access and repeat visits
Configure asset points, rounds and access constraints. Fused positioning and perception support access, coordinated obstacle handling and exception stops.
Evaluate: reachability, point error and traversability
02
Payload integration and capture
Select visual, thermal or task-specific sensors. Align observations using timing, mounting calibration and attitude information to support comparable repeat measurements.
Evaluate: data completeness, view and timing
03
Anomaly handling and collaboration
Integrate gauge reading, thermal or acoustic analysis by project and associate results with asset records. Define thresholds and human review for detection, response and re-inspection.
Evaluate: false alerts, evidence and follow-up

QUESTIONS / ANSWERS
Clarify the key questions before integration.
Define the environment, interfaces and delivered scope with HOPO.
Does the navigation device include thermal, OCR and diagnosis?
The device provides navigation and related perception. Thermal imaging requires a payload; OCR and diagnosis are handled by applications and platforms. Confirm the delivered scope for each project.
Is it suitable for hazardous or explosive areas?
Verify the complete machine, payload, battery and communications against required certification, protection and operating conditions. Generic navigation capability does not establish hazardous-area certification.
Can it connect to an existing asset platform?
Evaluate connections for inspection points, asset IDs, mission results and exceptions. Define formats, timing, access and network conditions before integration.
