Automation and Robotics Solutions for Nuclear and Harsh Environments

Mastering the Challenges of Hostile Environments with ASM

The nuclear, defense, waste management, and extreme environment sectors (high temperature, high pressure, chemical or radiological contamination) require technological solutions of absolute reliability and safety. Since human intervention is often limited or dangerous, automation and remote-controlled robotics are becoming essential. ASM, an expert in the design of special machines for constrained environments, develops robust and precise systems capable of operating in the most hostile conditions, ensuring operator safety and operational efficiency.

Our Robotic Solutions Specific to Nuclear and Harsh Environments

We offer a range of automated and robotic systems designed to meet the unique constraints of these environments:

  • Remote Inspection and Maintenance Robots: Design of mobile or fixed robots equipped with sensors (vision, radiometry, temperature) for inspection, monitoring and preventive maintenance in inaccessible or dangerous areas.
  • Automated Dismantling and Cutting Systems: Development of robotic machines for dismantling complex structures, cutting contaminated materials or handling radioactive waste, minimizing human exposure.
  • Handling and Transfer of Hazardous Materials: Automated solutions for the secure transfer of radioactive, chemical or explosive substances, with suitable containment and protection systems.
  • Remotely Operated Workstations: Creation of remote control stations allowing operators to control robots and machines in hostile areas, with precise haptic and visual feedback.
  • Solutions for Logistics in Contaminated Environments: Automation of the transport and storage of waste drums, armored containers or specific equipment in controlled areas.
  • Reinforced Systems for Extreme Conditions: Design of equipment resistant to radiation, extreme temperatures, corrosion or shocks, for maximum reliability.
