ICON™ software has been designed to be flexible and adaptable for a wide range of remote visual inspection and robotic applications.
Features
- The control and operations software application, ICON, has been developed using a multi-mission modular design philosophy.
- It offers an ubiquitous platform for all micro-controlled standard products and OnSpec custom solutions.
- RVI interface allows users to record video, take snapshots and tag areas of concern.
- Remote sensor data is collected and collated frame-by-frame with RVI video.
- It provides a common control interface across systems, i.e. how cameras are operated, how vehicles are driven.
- Users can choose to control the system using their preferred user interface (keyboard, mouse, touchscreen, Xbox controller with configurable buttons and triggers).
- Simple and configurable user interface allows operators to quickly learn how to operate and control systems.
Details
ICON™ software has been developed as a flexible application that takes advantage of the modularity of your physical remote visual inspection system, while supporting your needs to tailor the interface for a specific inspection job. We offer the exact functionality you require based on our different tier options. Features and functions are licensed and may not be included with your system*. For more information, contact our friendly and knowledgeable experts.

- Configurable control panel
- Alarm and smart actions
- Customizable automation routines
ICON Standard
Our mid-tier offering, ICON Standard or STD, is required for high definition and multi-camera inspection systems as well as our small-class vehicles.
- Displays and records video feeds from multiple Eddyfi Technologies inspection cameras
- Supports small-class robotic crawlers
- Provides configurability for some ICON features
- Supports third party sensor plug-ins
- Enables automation rules and executes pre-defined automation routines
- Provides user access features
ICON Companion
The entry-level software tier, ICON Companion or CPN, is intended to control and operate a single standard definition Spectrum camera.
- Powers single inspection camera
- Support for tether encoder if available
- Single configuration
Job Management
ICON jobs are used to collect the data and visual records for an inspection activity. Jobs may have attributes that can be configured and tailored allowing users to add customized fields to inspection jobs such as asset numbers, location identifiers and client names. In addition to job attributes, users can define inspection codes that can be used to identify classes of detected defects or areas of interest.
Video and Snapshot Recording
ICON records Remote Visual Inspection (RVI) video and snapshots, collating the information with sensor data collected from the vehicle mounted sensors with an ICON job.
ICON Instrument Panel and Multiple Camera (PIP) Display
A flexible user configurable instrument panel and video display panel allow you to configure the sensor and operational data that you want on-screen. Important data can be configured to remain on-screen with information overlaid (heads up display) on the video panel. Multiple video signals can be displayed so that inspection and navigation cameras display simultaneously.
Export Videos with Configurable Overlays
Recorded RVI videos can be exported either as raw or with configurable overlay templates.
User Access Management
User access is configurable allowing features to be locked, meaning that it is protected from any detrimental changes.
Automation Rules and Routines
ICON automation rules allow users to configure if-then actions within ICON software. Actions can be as simple as generating an alarm that is displayed on-screen or more complex vehicle or job actions. Automation routines add the ability to sequence rules with user interaction.
Sensor Integration
Sensors are added to ICON as a plugin. The plugin architecture allows unique sensors to be added to ICON without requiring changes to the ICON application. This provides an effective mechanism for OnSpec custom solutions.
Benefits
Intuitive user interface
Operators learn and become confident users quickly.
Simultaneously collect sensor and RVI data
Navigate in difficult-to-access locations to gather RVI and sensor information in a consolidated database.
Multiple systems with common control and operations interface
The world is full of unique applications. The flexible design philosophy allows different vehicle configurations for unique applications. One control and operations interface drives different vehicles and systems required for varying environments.
