At the ASNT 2025 Danny Smith, Jireh’s Technical Sales Specialist, shared the company’s latest advances in the field of industrial inspection robotics. Founded in 1981, Jireh has positioned itself as a benchmark in the development of robotic systems designed to automate inspection processes without relying on a closed ecosystem, while maintaining compatibility with multiple data acquisition technologies.

Robot for inspection that reduces time and improves accuracy

Smith highlighted the modular and adaptable approach of its systems, which can be easily integrated with equipment from different manufacturers, allowing it to offer customized solutions to inspection companies in a variety of industrial environments.

The focus of the interview was the presentation of Maltus, the company’s latest development for pipeline and duct applications. pipelines and ducts . This system, which has not yet been officially launched, incorporates four independent wheels capable of rotating and moving both circumferentially and longitudinally, allowing the entire length of a pipeline to be scanned without the need for manual removal or readjustment. This design seeks to optimize inspection time and ensure accurate alignment of data.

Three years of development focused on precision and adaptability

The Maltus has been under development for approximately three years and is expected to be launched by the end of next year or early 2027. Currently, Jireh is presenting it at international trade fairs and conferences to generate interest among industry specialists.

If a customer needs to customize a system, we can do it quickly without tying them to a single vendor.

Danny Smith stressed.
