It's All About the Data - NDT Measurement Data, Collecting, Storing, Reporting

Industrial aerial robotic inspection systems can save lives by helping prevent catastrophic accidents and by moving workers from harm’s way. Nondestructive Testing (NDT) for wall thickness via Ultrasonic Thickness (UT) using aerial inspection robotic systems (drones) that make physical contact with a structure or asset enable more data gathering in less time and is safer than placing humans at elevation to take measurements. The Apellix Opus X4 UT aerial robotic systems are highly extensible and agile enabling safer, faster, and better inspections while gathering a breadth and depth of data heretofore unavailable. This allows for more accurate insights into an asset’s structural integrity and operational viability.. . . Read more…

Benefits and Constraints of Completing NDT Measurements at Height - Robotic Contact-Based NDT Industrial Inspections

Nondestructive Testing (NDT) for Ultrasonic Thickness (UT) using aerial robotic inspection systems (drones) that make physical contact with a structure or asset enables more data gathering in less time and is safer than placing humans at elevation to take measurements. This allows for more accurate insights into an asset’s structural integrity and operational viability. The Apellix Opus X4 UT aerial robotic systems are highly extensible and agile enabling safer, faster, and better inspections while gathering a breadth and depth of data heretofore unavailable. As with almost any task or job selecting the right tool from your toolbox is important. We discuss in this segment how and when to use an aerial robotic system to take UT measurements at elevation. .

How Drones Are Changing Corrosion Inspections in 2021 and Beyond

Join our questions and discussion with Ben DuBose from the National Association of Corrosion Engineers (NACE) Coatings Pro Magazine on how new drone technologies are changing the landscape of corrosion inspections. Our CEO Bob Dahlstrom shares updates on Apellix pilot programs and other recent developments in 2020, including whether the COVID-19 pandemic could make asset owners explore alternatives to traditional field inspections. Read more as we take this war against corrosion to the inspection of industrial assets and beyond.
