- Introducing VENUS: A Smarter, Faster, Safer Way to Inspect
Revolutionizing Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI) Detection with Robotics Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI) remains one of the most persistent and costly challenges in industrial asset integrity management. Traditional inspection methods require extensive scaffolding, insulation removal, and manual testing—making them slow, expensive, and often hazardous. ARIX Technologies is redefining the way industries approach CUI detection with its cutting edge robotic inspection platform, delivering faster, safer, and more cost-effective results.
Introducing VENUS: A Smarter, Faster, Safer Way to Inspect
ARIX Technologies’ VENUS robotic inspection system is a semi-autonomous crawler designed to traverse horizontal and vertical pipes, bare or insulated, without the need for scaffolding or insulation removal. Unlike conventional methods, VENUS performs large-scale screening efficiently, offering a game-changing alternative for industries struggling with the complexities of corrosion detection.
Key advantages of VENUS include:
- Drastically reduced costs – CUI inspections up to 70% cheaper than traditional methods
- Faster execution – Full-coverage scans completed in weeks instead of months
- Eliminates unnecessary scaffolding – Minimal setup and reduced risk for workers
- High-resolution data – Advanced sensors and AI-driven analytics for precise, actionable insights
How ARIX is Shaping the Future of NDT
ARIX Technologies combines state-of-the-art robotics with pulsed eddy current (PEC) and real-time radiography (RTR) technologies, eliminating the inefficiencies of legacy inspection methods. By integrating AI-powered analytics, inspection teams gain a comprehensive 360° digital view of their assets, allowing for predictive maintenance strategies that extend asset lifespan and reduce unplanned shutdowns.
Real-World Impact: Faster Results, Greater Savings
Case studies show that companies using ARIX’s robotic inspection platform have cut inspection timelines from 10-12 months to just 6-8 weeks, achieving up to 85% full-coverage scans while significantly reducing operational risks. With major global refiners and petrochemical plants already integrating this technology into their maintenance programs, robotic CUI inspections are rapidly becoming an industry standard.
Why Now? The Shift Toward Automated CUI Inspections
The demand for safer, non-intrusive, and data-driven inspection methods is growing. As the industry moves toward automation and digital transformation, ARIX Technologies is leading the charge, helping operators move from reactive maintenance to proactive asset management.
