Nick Trevean on Why Modularity is Vital for NDT Innovation
Modularity is the key concept of the Nexxis innovative ‘Design, Deliver & Manufacture’ process. Nick Trevean gives his expert overview of how this bespoke build process is meeting the demands of complex NDT environments.
Nexxis is a leading player in robotic inspection and testing solutions. Through the creation of a modular, plug-and-play approach, they’ve created multiple platforms on which testing tools can easily, quickly and safely be delivered to a variety of locations and environments. The desire to offer truly flexible solutions that easily integrate with the latest advanced inspection tools, such as sensors and manipulators, is achieved thanks to this modular approach.
He explains that the process was born from a Lego-set mindset, whereby the necessary tools can be bolted onto an advanced base robot that delivers them to the testing area. Whether the scenario requires a tractor, crawler or UAV to access, the ability to design and customise these cutting-edge robots allows Nexxis to provide wholly effective, bespoke solutions for the most demanding of environments.
