Custom Robotics with Nick Trevean at AOG 2023
Nexxis R&D technical expert, Nick Trevean, discusses the importance of custom robotics in today’s NDT industry. He talks about the requirement for an application to be modular and agile, allowing it to quickly be modified to target a wide range of inspection needs.
The central model, or platform, such as the Powertrain, allows solutions to easily be constructed to address issues, such as differing pipe diameters and payloads. But, going further than this, the importance of proactive inspections. Historically, complex situations and lengthy asset shutdowns meant such an approach wasn’t financially viable. But today, with quickly deployed robotic tools removing the need to make areas safe for human entry, monitoring and maintenance is the solution to preventing critical, expensive and potentially hazardous issues from occurring in the first place.
He talks about how the Nexxis focus on modular robotic platforms is key, allowing the company to push the boundaries of inspection limits in a way that, before now, simply wasn’t possible.
