That Powers Everything.

ATLAS brings autonomous multi-spectral inspection to pipelines, pressure vessels, wind turbines, and power plants — detecting corrosion, wall thinning, and structural fatigue before failures cause outages or safety incidents.

Industrial pipeline complex

The problem

Aging infrastructure.
Increasing demand.
Shrinking inspection capacity.

Energy infrastructure ages invisibly. The average US pipeline is over 50 years old. Pressure vessels, turbine blades, and structural supports operate under constant thermal and mechanical stress.

Inspection mandates are increasing in scope and frequency, but the tools have not kept up — different instruments for different defect types, confined-space entry permits, and manual data collection that produces inconsistent results.

When inspection fails, the consequences are catastrophic: unplanned outages, environmental incidents, and safety events. Reactive maintenance is no longer acceptable.

The solution

One platform
for every asset type.

ATLAS replaces fragmented inspection tooling with a single autonomous platform. Ground-penetrating radar sees through surfaces to 12 inches. Ultrasonic sensors measure wall thickness to 0.01mm. Thermal imaging detects hot spots with ±0.02°C sensitivity. Hyperspectral identifies material degradation invisible to cameras.

The modular sensor head adapts to pipes, vessels, towers, and turbine blades — same platform, different configuration. ATLAS Connect AI correlates multi-spectral data to prioritize repairs, forecast failures, and build longitudinal asset health records.

No more fragmented inspection reports from different vendors using different tools.

Key benefits

From fragmented tooling
to unified intelligence.

Four shifts in how energy operators manage critical asset integrity.

01

Unified Multi-Spectral Inspection

6 modalities in one platform

Replace separate LiDAR surveys, UT thickness gauging, thermal scans, and visual inspections with a single autonomous pass.

02

Subsurface Visibility

GPR 12 in · UT 0.01 mm

Detect internal corrosion, wall thinning, voids, and weld defects without cutting into the asset.

03

Eliminate Confined-Space Risk

Zero confined-space entries required

ATLAS navigates pipelines, vessel interiors, and restricted access areas autonomously. Remove personnel from hazardous inspection environments.

04

Predictive Asset Management

94% accuracy · 6-mo horizon

Move from calendar-based to condition-based maintenance. Know which assets need attention before they fail.

Use cases

Across the energy
infrastructure stack.

Pipelines, vessels, turbines, plants — one autonomous platform, four mission profiles.

Use case 01

Pipeline Integrity Inspection

GPR, ultrasonic, and thermal sensors detect internal corrosion, wall thinning, and coating failures across pipeline networks. ATLAS scans externally and in-line, building continuous integrity records for each segment.

Use case 02

Pressure Vessel & Tank Inspection

Ultrasonic wall thickness measurement at 0.01mm accuracy combined with thermal and eddy current sensing. Detect stress corrosion cracking, hydrogen-induced cracking, and weld defects without taking vessels offline.

Use case 03

Wind Turbine Blade & Tower

Hyperspectral and thermal imaging detect leading-edge erosion, lightning damage, and internal delamination in composite blades. LiDAR maps structural deformation in towers. One platform replaces rope-access teams and separate drone surveys.

Use case 04

Power Generation Facility Inspection

Boilers, heat exchangers, cooling towers, and structural steel — ATLAS inspects critical infrastructure across the plant with six sensor modalities. Thermal imaging finds insulation failures. Ultrasonic quantifies material degradation. Eddy current detects fatigue cracking.
