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.
Meeting the Critical Challenges of Nuclear and Hostile Environments
These sectors are facing major challenges to which our solutions provide concrete answers:
- Operator Safety: Automation helps move humans away from danger, drastically reducing the risks of exposure and accidents.
- Reliability and Durability: Our systems are designed to operate without failure under extreme conditions, minimizing interventions and downtime.
- Regulatory Compliance: Our solutions integrate the requirements of the strictest nuclear and environmental safety standards.
- Cost and Time Optimization: Automation helps speed up processes (dismantling, maintenance) and reduce costs related to risk management and production shutdowns.
- Traceability and Data Collection: Integrated systems for comprehensive monitoring and documentation of operations in sensitive areas.
