Ultrasonic manual scanner HERMINE

The Hermine Scanner marked a turning point in the field of corrosion inspection on metallic surfaces. Described as a “major technological breakthrough” by Bureau Veritas, this portable device dedicated to ultrasonic thickness measurement enabled the optimization of large surface inspections while delivering unmatched precision. 

The Hermine Scanner introduced three major innovations that set it apart in the field of corrosion inspection. First, its multi-sensor ultrasonic array, featuring between three and nine probes, allowed for simultaneous, high-density measurements, significantly reducing inspection time while increasing data reliability. Second, its onboard electronics and integrated console enabled real-time data acquisition and storage without the need for external equipment, making the system fully autonomous and easy to deploy. Finally, its built-in positioning system provided instant corrosion mapping, offering real-time visual feedback of the scanned surface and helping maintenance teams anticipate and plan interventions more efficiently.
