RinnoVision, a leading provider of sewer and aqueduct inspection solutions, received a significant request from their existing customer base. These customers needed an improved manhole and confined space inspection solution that would optimize their operators’ workflow and increase operational efficiency. To bring their vision to life, they partnered with leading Canadian video technology company IONODES to develop and manufacture a 360-degree inspection system. This partnership led to the creation of the RV-MAX 360, a unique state-of-the-art manhole and confined space inspection system that has revolutionized operational efficiency, personnel safety, and cost-effectiveness in water and sewer network maintenance operations worldwide.

The Solution
The RV-MAX 360 represents a significant advancement in manhole and confined space inspection. It is the first affordable, easy-to-use, and carryaround inspection system that allows a single unspecialized operator to conduct a full inspection in under 5 minutes. Moreover, its built-in Wi-Fi and 4G/LTE networking connectivity make it the first fully connected system to ever hit the market, a unique aspect that enables a new level of operational efficiency and oversight for public works departments, contracts, and Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE) firms. The RV-MAX 360’s dual high-resolution 187-degree lenses allow a seamless 360-degree view, ensuring that no detail goes unnoticed, and an embedded GPS for automatic geolocation of each inspection. Its powerful 360-degree light module features six intensity modes, allowing operators to adapt to various opening sizes. Paired with the intuitive RinnoView software which provides live streaming capabilities during recording, this system ensures smooth operation and thorough inspections.
