Problem
Radiation protection technicians must manually walk survey routes with handheld instruments, record data on paper, and later transcribe results, a process that is labor‑intensive, time‑consuming, and limited by worker dose constraints and paperwork burdens.
Solution
Salem Robotics offers a software platform that converts existing robots in nuclear facilities into autonomous survey operators. The system provides nuclear‑specific navigation, radiation measurement collection, and automated compliance reporting while allowing optional human supervision. By automating routine radiological surveys and inspections, the platform enables plant teams to increase survey frequency, improve data consistency, and reduce personnel exposure to hazardous environments. The software integrates with a variety of robotic hardware, delivering a turnkey solution that streamlines data workflows and supports safety‑critical operations.
Target Audience
Primary customers are nuclear facility operators and radiation protection teams that conduct routine radiological surveys and inspections, as well as contractors managing hazardous site robotics.
