SpectX develops an autonomous aerial radiography system using synchronized drones equipped with AI to detect internal structural defects in industrial assets in real-time. Their technology enables non-destructive testing for asset management and engineering across industries such as offshore wind, power grid, photovoltaics, pipeline, oil & gas, and security. The system uses onboard LiDAR for precise drone positioning, cloud-based data storage and analysis, and a ground control app for real-time inspection control. This approach improves safety by eliminating the need for workers to access hazardous environments and offers a cost-effective, robust alternative to traditional inspection methods. SpectX has gained recognition as a finalist in offshore wind innovation awards and secured significant grants, positioning it as a promising player in industrial inspection technology.
