Dolphitech transforms industrial inspection with portable technology
At the ASNT 2025 convention, Alex Merck, executive vice president, Americas, Dolphitech, shared how its portable solutions are redefining access to critical information for industries such as aerospace, energy and automotive, through rugged, embeddable and easy-to-use devices.
Dolphitech, founded in 2009 and headquartered in Gjøvik, Norway, has focused its efforts on developing a platform for ultrasonic inspection based on transducer array technology, in order to simplify ultrasonic testing without sacrificing accuracy, providing equipment that adapts to the most demanding environments in the industrial world.
Portability that redefines field work
One of Dolphitech's differentials is the portability of its equipment, designed especially for field inspections. Alex Merck stresses that this feature is essential in operations on flight lines, pipelines or wind turbines, where inspectors face complex conditions that demand rugged, autonomous and functional tools in real time.
Ease of transport reduces inspection times and improves operational coverage for technicians. "Having a reliable, easy-to-use, environmentally rugged instrument is critical for any inspector," Merck explained. This capability allows operatives to access C-scan type images directly from the device, streamlining decision making without compromising the quality of the assessment.
Digital integration and immediate data analysis
Unlike many traditional systems, Dolphitech equipment incorporates a Windows-based system that facilitates integration with corporate digital platforms. This allows inspection data to be stored locally on the device and can be immediately and easily retrieved, viewed and managed.
This interoperability is a point of high added value in sectors where traceability and document control are highly relevant; companies can link the results with their asset management systems, internal audits or scheduled maintenance, minimizing the time between data collection and analysis.
A new era for NDT: more data, greater accuracy
For Alex Merck, the nondestructive testing is undergoing a profound transformation. "We are entering a new era where the important thing is how much data you can collect, how accurate it is and how easy it is to interpret it from different levels of responsibility," he commented.
Dolphitech responds to this demand with solutions oriented to data-rich inspections, interpretable by technicians with different levels of expertise, gaining special relevance in industries such as aerospace, where constant verification of structural integrity is vital to avoid major risks.
Global vision and customer commitment
With a presence spanning from North America to Europe and Asia, Dolphitech not only provides technology but also accompanies its customers in implementation, training and continuous improvement. Its multidisciplinary team, composed of engineering and ultrasound experts, develops solutions adapted to different materials, whether in the automotive, marine, defense or renewable energy industries.
Beyond the sale or lease of equipment, the company maintains a model focused on technical assistance and improvement of the inspection process, providing reliable results even with minimal training.
