Even before you leave the site, inspection data can be made available through the Scout Portal — to colleagues, asset owners or class representatives. While you may still have tasks to complete, others can start reviewing and planning without waiting for a final report.
Even if you’re working offshore.
This is the new reality of industrial inspection. Let’s explore how Scout Portal supports it.
In short
Scout Portal 2.0 is transforming how confined-space inspections are conducted and managed. With features like live streaming, resumable uploads, and instant data sharing, inspection teams can hand over high-quality results on-site—while engineers and stakeholders review and respond remotely.
Each inspection session includes a full 3D flight path and point cloud, giving spatial context to every image and POI. This means you’re not left sifting through hundreds of closeups of a wall – instead you get a clear view of what was found where, and how the inspection unfolded.
Scout Portal connects site operations to digital workflows—from analyzing location-tagged, ultra-high-resolution visuals to generating tailored automatic reports. Designed for the Scout 137 system but flexible enough for other data, it enables smarter, faster and more thorough inspections—wherever you are.
Cumulative business value of using the Scout Portal
- Up to 60% faster project throughput
- 30–70% cost savings per inspection campaign

From Live Stream to Inspection Review
With Scout Portal, nobody waits for data. Live streaming lets surveyors, clients and other stakeholders connect remotely to the inspection in real time.
After the live inspection, data is uploaded and available on-demand. Engineers and subject-matter experts can log in, review the inspection, and provide feedback—without needing to be on-site or online during the operation. Flexible collaboration is enabled for any scenario.
The session view offers interactive 3D context with your inspection data.
Unbreakable Uploads – Even Over Starlink
In the field, data connection quality varies, especially offshore. That’s why Scout Portal has resumable uploads. If the connection drops, just reinitiate the upload—the system will pick up where it left off and there’s no risk of having to start over. Teams using 4G or satellite networks like Starlink report stable performance, even in remote locations.
Instant Sharing, Real-Time Decisions
Once uploaded, data is instantly available to anyone with access—no waiting for file transfers or zipped folders. Offshore teams can share inspection results with all stakeholders before wrapping up the day, enabling decisions about next-day surveys and inspection strategy.
This is especially powerful in:
- Quick, preliminary assessments to request further guidance
- Coverage approval from class societies
- Global projects where teams work across time zones and languages
Tailor-Made for Scout 137 – But Flexible
Scout Portal is built to showcase Scout 137 data at its best—but it’s also compatible with common video formats. This means you can consolidate visual inspection data from multiple sources in one interface.
And because it’s all made by the same company, everything—from video playback to point cloud rendering—works together seamlessly.
The Scout Portal lets you share your inspection while still on-site. With resumable uploads lost connection is not an issue.
Smart Data Assessment: POIs in Full Context
Points of Interest (POIs) can be added live during flight and be created in post—with full 4K resolution pulled from recorded video. You can annotate specific regions, tag details, and write comments.
All POIs are tied to their exact location in 3D space, so anyone reviewing the data knows exactly where an issue was found, when it occurred, and how it fits into the larger structure.
This enables:
- Specialists to contribute remotely
- Teams to skip real-time notetaking and focus 100% on piloting
- Clear communication in time-sensitive situations
Post-Processing That Fits Your Workflow
Utilize the automatically generated 3D point cloud to get full spatial awareness of your inspection.
Missed something during the flight on-site? Add a POI later from the 4K video timeline in the Scout Portal. The image is generated from the video stream and becomes a full-featured POI with annotations, 3D location, and timeline context.
Want AI-assisted insights? Scout Portal is ready to run ML models on uploaded video footage, with corrosion detection already available. This feature is opt-in and can be tailored by agreement.
The Scout Portal allows presentation of multimodal data, tied together around a central timeline.
Faster, Smarter Reporting
Create reports faster by exporting selected POIs—complete with photos and A-scans (for Ultrasonic Thickness Measurements, UTM). Add your conclusions, and you’re done.
Need a specific format? ScoutDI offers custom report templates as an add-on service, tailored to match client or class society requirements. For many customers, this has been a key to unlocking adoption internally.
Secure Access Anywhere, Instantly
Data uploaded to Scout Portal is instantly available worldwide—no re-uploads, no third-party transfer tools. Just log in and review. Built on Microsoft Azure, Scout Portal ensures fast, reliable access while maintaining enterprise-grade security, data integrity, and full control over who sees what.
API-Ready for Your Digital Twin
Scout Portal provides a REST API for seamless integration with Digital Twins and existing Asset Management Systems. Bring your inspection data into your broader digital ecosystem, enabling in-house data scientists and structural integrity teams.
Conclusion: Inspection, Evolved
From flexible collaboration to structured reporting and machine-learning integration, Scout Portal is a fully connected workflow platform.
The Scout Portal provides a logical structure for your inspections, cutting down time spent organizing and perusing your data.
