NDE Nexus™ Suite

Features + Benefits
01

NDE Toolbox™ Software

  • Faster, more accurate analysis of complex NDE data.
  • Improves speed, reliability and sensitivity of inspections.
  • Reduces inspection costs and downtime for critical assets.
  • Increases asset availability by speeding decision-making and maintenance.
02

Nexus AR Glasses

  • Hands free access to data – View inspection parameters, procedures, and live readings directly in the headset—no need to hold a tablet or clipboard.
  • Reduced physical strain – Less twisting, bending, and equipment juggling in tight or awkward spaces, making long inspections less fatiguing.
  • Real-time guidance and recording – Adjust instruments, capture images, and log results on the spot, improving accuracy and reducing missed steps.
  • Improved safety in haradous areas – Keep eyes on surroundings and maintain full situational awareness while receiving instructions or overlay data, lowering risk in confined or high-risk environments.
03

Nexus AR Touch (Wrist Interface)

  • Quick one-hand control – Easily adjust inspection settings or navigate menus with a simple tap or swipe—no need to remove gloves or set down tools.
  • Immediate data capture – Record notes, tag defects, or save images on the spot without breaking inspection flow.
  • Compact and wearable – Keeps controls and information at arm’s length, reducing the need to carry or balance extra equipment in tight or elevated spaces.
  • Integrated with AR goggles – Works seamlessly with the headset for synchronized commands and displays, giving inspectors a smooth, efficient hands-free workflow.

04

Nexus Edge Processor

  • Real-time data processing – Analyzes inspection signals and images on site, so inspectors get instant results without waiting for uploads or remote servers.
  • Reliable mobile-friendly field performance – Designed to operate in hangars, flight lines, or shipyards with minimal network connectivity, ensuring inspections continue uninterrupted.
  • Enhanced accuracy and analytics – Supports advanced algorithms—like Assisted Defect Analytics—to detect flaws and provide precise measurements while the inspection is underway.
  • Streamlined workflow – Stores and syncs inspection data directly with the AR goggles and wrist interface, reducing post-inspection paperwork and speeding up reporting.

05

NDE Nexus Cobot

  • Save time and lower costs with faster, repeatable inspections and automated defect analytics.
  • Increase accuracy through stable robotic positioning and integrated data filtering.
  • Enhance safety by reducing physical fatigue and repetitive-motion stress.
  • Flexible deployment across different aircraft types.

06

NDE Nexus Suite (all of the above)

  • Seamless, End-to-End Workflow – Data moves instantly from the cobot’s inspection sensors to the Edge computer for processing, while results appear live in the AR goggles and wrist interface—eliminating manual transfers and duplicate work.
  • Maximum Efficiency & Time Savings – Robots handle repetitive positioning, AR provides hands-free guidance, and the Edge computer plus NDEToolbox™ deliver immediate analytics—cutting inspection and reporting time dramatically.
  • Higher Accuracy and Consistency – Combined robotic precision, real-time augmented reality feedback, and advanced analytics reduce human error and ensure consistent results across multiple aircraft or assets.
  • Improved Safety and Reduced Fatigue – Inspectors stay focused on technique and interpretation rather than equipment handling, lowering physical strain and enhancing situational awareness in tight or hazardous environments.
