Diseño del proceso de producción de una plataforma móvil de inspección de tuberías

Abstract

At present, the companies in charge of the maintenance and renovation of the sewage systems have evolved in their techniques of detection of failures until they reach the point of using the robotic tools and systematized to their benefit. Robots and pipe inspection platforms are used to perform visual inspections of the sewerage in certain areas to observe the current conditions of the system and with the data generated to be able to make decisions to face what is possibly found. But not all entities can afford to have these robotic aids due to the high cost that must be incurred for their acquisition and maintenance, which is mostly imported. So this is a resulting need that must be met by local companies or entities that aim for research and development like the Lumen Gentium Catholic University Foundation where a robotic pipe inspection platform is currently being developed in one of its research groups. The process of developing an inspection platform brings a series of factors such as time, material resources, labor, processes, costs and documentation that should be exploited in the best way if it is to generate a competitive product in the current market.
