Kraft TeleRobotics is proud to offer the M5-A SCOUT remotely operated vehicle system for Inspection and environmental monitoring purposes. The SCOUT system was developed to meet the increasing demand for greater safety while working in underground utility vaults. For customers who have personnel working in confined spaces, areas with restricted access, or hazardous environments, the M5-A SCOUT provides a low cost alternative for performing a variety of tasks.

Once deployed, SCOUT is capable of detailed video inspections from floor to ceiling, pinpoint laser aimed infrared temperature measurements, and atmospheric testing for flammable gasses, toxic gasses, and oxygen levels. Additionally the M5-A SCOUT can be used while workers are in the vault, to provide a continuous visual and audio link with co-workers at street level.
