Remote inspection for nuclear energy industry

Remote inspection is a process by which TÜV SÜD experts inspect your nuclear energy supply chain to ensure safety and quality of the equipment being manufactured. We use augmented and assisted technology to overlay digital information on the physical world. 

This helps us achieve faster task completion and higher efficiency while avoiding travel costs. Which means you can keep your budgets low and timelines efficient while maintaining exceptional quality.

By reducing travel time and costs, remote inspection presents a more flexible and convenient way of inspection. You can continue to maintain your manufacturing schedules without compromising on safety and quality. 

The reduction of travel also means reduced carbon footprint, increasing the sustainability of your testing, inspection and certification operations. 

You can access a larger pool of experts without geographical restrictions, helping you tap into the full extent of our decades of nuclear energy experience. 

Remote inspection can be especially valuable when health and safety restrictions challenge business continuity and make physical inspections more difficult.

TÜV SÜD is a globally recognised name in the nuclear industry. We have provided exceptional quality, in-depth insight and implementation of industry standards for more than 60 years. 

By working remotely with you wherever you are, our global team brings you quality, safety and impartiality. We help you demonstrate your willingness to provide the best quality and excellence for your customers. 

We have successfully implemented safety processes across the industry. This makes us a trusted partner for second and third party inspections. Our worldwide network of experts ensures cost-effective certification services, whichever market you are in. 

Our remote inspection uses live-streamed audio-video conferencing and advanced functionalities that assist the inspection process. These include document sharing, camera zoom and flash-light control, on-screen chat, and screen captures. 

Through this multi-party communication, our remote team can direct on-site personnel with specific instructions. You can also join the inspection remotely, saving you travel time and costs. 

Remote inspection helps you access many different experts with diverse know-how in specific aspects of nuclear energy that may be valuable to you. 

Using smart glasses further increases the speed, efficiency and accuracy of our assessments. It helps you maintain your global supply chains and operational timelines. Our use cases for smart glasses include providing quality assessments at a manufacturer of mechanical valves, and quality monitoring of an industrial plant for nuclear equipment. 

Our secure data transfer and processing make sure that we protect your sensitive data at all times. Secure, cloud-based collaboration technology at vendor sites provides security and high-quality video. 

Complementing our innovative remote visual inspection technology is our extensive global network of offices and an unrivalled ability to supply qualified and experienced inspectors locally, without the need to incur cross-border travel risks.

TÜV SÜD Energietechnik GmbH Baden-Württemberg, a fully owned subsidiary of TÜV SÜD, has deployed the Oculavis smart service platform to help achieve greater security, efficiency and sustainability. This platform integrates multiple functionalities such as technical expert support through Augmented Reality (AR) visual assistance calls, self-services such as step-by-step guides for standard operating procedures (SOP), accumulation of products relevant knowledge in automated documentation, and efficient management of customer sites. 

TÜV SÜD performed quality assessment at a Chinese manufacturer of mechanical valves according to French rules for a French customer to deliver to a nuclear end customer in UK. 

TÜV SÜD performed quality monitoring of the production of an industrial plant for nuclear equipment whose components were manufactured in Germany and France.
