Case Studies

The VJ-ADV articulating video borescope from RF System Lab is redefining Remote Visual Inspection (RVI). The VJ-ADV incorporates all of the critical features of an advanced RVI instrument – joystick articulation control, direct digital image capture, on-board image and video recording – in an extremely portable, light weight, and cost-effective package. Not surprisingly, the VJ-ADV is proving very valuable in dozens of industrial maintenance and inspection applications across a wide range of industries. The following case studies examine some of the ways our customers are putting the VJ-ADV to use, improving their inspection and maintenance procedures and reducing repair costs and downtime.
