Robotic Nondestructive Evaluation (NDE) for Industrial Field Inspections

Utilizing data from robotic inspection systems, NDE 4.0 increases the lifesaving capability of these inspections by moving human workers from harm’s way, and by enabling more accurate insights into the structures (aka assets) at these facilities and locations

Automated Class 1 Division 2 (ATEX Zone 2) Exterior UT Shell Inspections with Drones

Understand the basic operations and uses of advanced aerial robotic systems (drones) that make physical contact with structures to collect exterior UT measurements at elevations in class 1 div 2 areas within industrial settings including their benefits, limitations, constraints, and disadvantages.

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
