AISUS showcased its latest robotic inspection and non-destructive testing (NDT) technologies during a Demo Day held on September 11 at the company's yard in Bridge of Don, Aberdeen, bringing together more than 70 industry clients, partners, professionals and students.
The event provided attendees with demonstrations of AISUS' remote inspection technologies designed for challenging and complex environments across the energy sector. Participants included representatives from offshore operations, decommissioning, onshore civil engineering, SPE members and university students.
Live Demonstrations Highlight Robotic Inspection Capabilities
Throughout the event, AISUS demonstrated a range of robotic and inspection systems operating in real-world scenarios. The demonstrations included crawlers manoeuvring across the yard and climbing pipework structures, as well as robotic systems navigating confined spaces.
A key demonstration featured AISUS' recently deployed Clamshell technology, a bespoke system designed and manufactured in-house by the company's R&D team for inspecting a 6-inch offshore riser pipe. The technology has also been adapted and scaled for an application on a jacket structure in Australia.
From an NDT perspective, all inspection solutions demonstrated at the event were equipped with advanced NDT capabilities, including Ultrasonic Testing (UT) and Pulsed Eddy Current (PEC) technology.
The event also featured AISUS' robotic manipulator arm, developed for confined-space entry applications, including refinery cyclone inspections in onshore environments.
Data Management and Asset Integrity
AISUS also held data management sessions led by Urmila, Data Scientist at AISUS, focusing on the use of machine learning in asset integrity management.
The sessions explored how machine learning models can predict future wall thickness across entire structures and grade assets using a health, caution or critical risk scale. The same models can be transferred between assets, allowing operators to assess and rank portfolios based on risk rather than waiting for inspection campaigns to be completed over several years.
According to the information presented during the sessions, the approach provides a decision-ready assessment highlighting areas where wall thinning is likely to occur and where failures may develop first.
Demo Day Supports Industry Collaboration
The Aberdeen event brought together professionals from different areas of the energy sector to observe AISUS' inspection technologies and engage with technical experts.
The company also welcomed Clan Cancer Support, Northeast Scotland, one of its chosen charity partners for 2026. Fundraising activities during the event raised £500 for the charity.
AISUS said the Demo Day highlighted its focus on innovation, collaboration and inspection capabilities across the energy industry, while providing an opportunity for clients, partners and other attendees to engage directly with its robotic and NDT technologies.
