AI4RVI Brings Onboard AI to High-Definition Tube Inspection

October 8, 2026

AI4RVI has announce the launch of Edgevision, a next-generation remote visual inspection (RVI) system built to deliver true high-definition imaging of tube interior conditions including boilers, heat exchangers.

Edgevision takes its name from the onboard NVIDIA Jetson ‘Edge’ computer that powers the entire system, including video recording, image capture, and all camera functions. Because processing happens on the device itself, Edgevision operates 100% offline, a design built with the realities of industrial inspection sites in mind.

The system delivers a true HDTV (1920x1080p) video pipeline through a 176-degree wide-angle lens, optimized specifically for boiler and heat exchanger tube ID inspection. Its detachable, submersible camera head is under 1 inch (25mm) in diameter and connects via a 98.4-foot (30m) push-able cable, allowing inspectors to reach and clearly image areas that are otherwise difficult to assess.

Edgevision offers two optional AI-powered features: AI-assisted report generation and auto-anomaly detection with standardized anomaly coding, giving inspection teams the option to accelerate reporting and flag potential issues as they work.

Additional features include:

Wi-Fi control via a Lenovo Yoga Tab 11 with a 3.2k display hosting the Edgevision software
Supervisory viewing via Wi-Fi and HDMI video output
External video input via USB port for alternate video sources, with a footage counter display
Two hot-swappable batteries for continuous cordless use in the field
Compact, lightweight design at under 20 lbs. (9 kg), built to fit through steam- or mud-drum manways
Complete system package including an ATA shipping case, three camera centering fixtures, and keyboard

“With Edgevision, we set out to give inspectors a system that finally matches the true HDTV imaging the industry has been asking for, without sacrificing the portability and offline reliability that fieldwork demands,” said Bruce Pellegrino, VP Marketing, AI4RVI, Inc.”

Freeze CAD Revision Before Reusing an Inspection Plan
October 8, 2026
An inspection plan inherited from revision A needs a clear starting point when revision B arrives. Fix the exact model pair, establish the controlling requirements, and document the responsible engineer's decision before carrying the plan forward.
Renishaw Expands Miskin Site as Demand Drives Manufacturing Growth
October 7, 2026
Renishaw, is celebrating the 15th anniversary of the purchase of its Miskin site in South Wales, and the completion of the first phase of a further £70 million development of the facility.
Turning In-Situ AM Monitoring into Production Intelligence
October 7, 2026
As metal additive manufacturing moves deeper into production environments, the industry’s quality challenge is changing. Manufacturers are no longer asking simply whether in-situ monitoring can capture process data. They are asking whether that data can help accelerate qualification, reduce inspection burden, and support more confident production decisions.
Mahr Expands CNC Surface Measurement with MarSurf Modular Evo
October 7, 2026
Mahr has introduced the MarSurf CNC modular Evo, an entry-level CNC measuring station designed to provide a step-by-step route from manual or semi-automated surface measurement to automated inspection.
Digital Metrology Releases OmniSurf 5.0 Surface Roughness Analysis Software
October 7, 2026
Digital Metrology Solutions has announced a major new release of their OmniSurf surface profile analysis software. This highly visual software provides an easy-to-use toolkit for exploring surface data for a wide range of users and applications.
Closing the Loop on Machining Quality
October 7, 2026
Manufacturers are being asked to produce more parts, to tighter specifications and with fewer skilled people. At the same time, the cost of a manufacturing error is increasing as components become more complex, machines become more expensive and production schedules become less tolerant of delays.
From Inspect to Improve: The Rise of Virtual Metrology
October 6, 2026
The response taking shape across the industry is a shift from “inspect to ship” to “measure to improve.” The measurement itself was never the problem – it is what happens to the data behind it afterwards that needs to change. That reframing has picked up a name: virtual metrology.
Verisurf 2027 Accelerates Model-Based Inspection from Shop Floor to the Enterprise
October 6, 2026
QIF is an open standard for exchanging engineering and quality information between compatible software systems. It gives manufacturers and their suppliers a common way to share what needs to be measured and the results of that inspection.
Foundrax Puts Automated Brinell Measurement in a Handheld Microscope

ISO 9001:2026 Brings Evolution Rather Than Revolution
September 30, 2026
The publication of ISO 9001:2026 marks the latest evolution of the world's most widely used quality management standard, with manufacturers being encouraged to build on existing quality systems rather than undertake wholesale revisions.
The Real Cost of Your Quality
September 28, 2026
Manufacturers have never measured more, faster, or with greater precision. Nowadays, metrology is moving beyond the traditional inspection lab. It is more connected to production environments, with the aim to provide faster feedback, support process control, and smarter decisions. However, a difficult question remains: if we measure faster, why do quality problems still move slowly?
From Sampling to Seeing – How Optical Metrology is Redefining Manufacturing Quality
September 16, 2026
For decades, industrial metrology has been built around a familiar premise: measure a sample, verify compliance, and assume the rest of production follows suit. Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMMs), hard gauges, and tactile sensors have delivered exceptional precision, but they have also reinforced a workflow constrained by speed. Measuring every component has simply not been practical.
The Hidden Cost of Poor Quality in Regulated Manufacturing
September 16, 2026
Poor quality rarely announces itself as a single, contained problem. In manufacturing environments, it may first appear as a rejected batch, a scrapped component, an unexpected line stoppage, or a customer complaint that requires investigation.
