Zistos Corporation has just introduced a NEW and improved system that is designed to inspect the interior of bulk transportation vessels – such as rail tankers and tanker trailers – without the need to make a confined space entry. An operator can insert this system into a tanker and look for contaminants, cracks, corrosion, vermin, or just to assess interior conditions to ensure conditions are acceptable for the next load. Our newest version of this system has been optimized to be:
- Easier to deploy
- Simple to use
- More cost effective
The IAD-TIPZ-H6 system functions with a special pole mounted video camera that has been designed to mount on top of an open manway on a tanker. Internal images of the tanker can be safely viewed when the camera assembly is inserted into the tanker manway and the inspector remains outside of the tankers confined space. The camera has very bright illuminators that are built in and features 10X optical zoom magnification. The position and angle of the camera can be manipulated by moving the pole so that any area of the tanker interior can be viewed. The video image is viewed on a 5.6” LCD WalkAbout display with a built in video recorder. The WalkAbout DVR display is worn around the operator’s neck and is viewed on the operator’s chest. It is simple to deploy a neck strap that allows easy access and removal. The DVR can record video clips or JPEGs to a removable SD memory card.
A Bluetooth interface in our DVR WalkAbout display permits the use of a wireless laser barcode scanner with this system. We can scan a barcode for a lot number or ID on a tanker and that information becomes part of your permanent video record. This allows an operator to identify the ID or lot number of a tank or product when viewing previously recorded images that have been stored on a computer.
Our WiFi interface can allow stored images to be instantly transferred to a smart phone, cloud based storage or local area network.
There are numerous benefits to using the IAD-TIPZ-H6 for your bulk transportation vessel inspection needs. The system will not only keep workers safe by eliminating the need to enter a confined space, but it also offers these benefits:
- It minimizes the time needed to complete a visual inspection of a tanker
- It allows you to maintain a visual record of conditions on a specific date/time
- Images can be shared in near real-time with others not at the location
- It limits liability because you can prove interior tank conditions were acceptable at your location
- It is simple to operate – minimal training required
- The system is highly cost effective
In many instances, the increased efficiency alone will pay for the system in a short amount of time. Lease to own and fixed finance terms are now available through Merrimac Capital, making the system even easier to acquire than previously.
