Solving a bouncing problem with determination and grit
Solving a bouncing problem with determination and grit New paint requires a clean surface. The bigger the surface, the better the adhesion of the applied coating. For this purpose, blasting abrasion of pipes is done with grit. The grit is applied with force, and therefore naturally produces some excess grit. One of our clients […]
Longer lifespan, less downtime because of ‘magic touch’
‘Magic touch’ for longer lifespan and less downtime Decades of experience is not something that can be acquired by training, or that can be replaced by equipment. It’s like a person recognising a type of car just by hearing its engine. Or a baker no longer needing his recipes when adding ingredients. Our technical inspectors […]
Offshore ‘Predator’ has eyes on other industries
Offshore ‘Predator’ has eyes on other industries Ever seen a robot on a seagoing vessel? Robots are made of steel which is in essence not best friends with salt and water. Harsh conditions are one of the few certainties at sea. Therefore, most manufacturers of robots take a restraint approach to creating automated solutions for […]
