Underwater Robotic Inspection with AC-ROV and ROV Tools

Underwater Robotic Inspection with AC-ROV technology is arguably the most secure, simple, cheap and effective way of performing many different types of underwater inspections on tanks, rivers, lakes or at sea. The AC-ROV is a low-cost, simple operation and high performance underwater robot, besides being the world leader in mini-ROVs. All the equipment fits on a single handbag and weights only 18kg. ATIVA is the AC-CESS Distributor in Latin America.

ATIVA is also a standout in the development of innovative ROV tools for subsea intervention and inspection services. They offer mechanical precision and robustness as well as embedded electronics for acquisition and "online" data communication. This service includes the study of engineering solutions, mechanical and electronic designs, manufacturing and certification tool testing, besides technical support during offshore operations. According to Ativa, custom projects are developed according to customer demand.
