MFE boosts NDT inspection by combining robotics and talent

During the PANNDT show, Syed Harris, Branch Manager and Kasie McClain, Marketing Coordinator, both from MFE Inspection Solutions, shared their vision on the role of technology and technical expertise in the evolution of NDT inspection field. With more than three decades in the industry, the company is positioned as a leader in rental, sales, calibration and training of industrial inspection equipment.

Field experiences as a differentiating factor

From its offices in different regions, MFE has personnel who have worked directly in the field as NDT inspectors, and that experience translates into a deep understanding of the daily challenges faced by customers.

We bring a lot of field experience, so we can relate to the challenges that our clients face day in and day out.

Syed Harris.

This hands-on approach allows us to offer technical support focused on the actual use of the equipment, making it easier for customers to overcome common barriers during inspections in industries such as oil & gas, power or petrochemical.

Strategic alliances with technology giants

Part of the company's success is due to its partnerships with brands such as Flyability and Boston Dynamics, and attendees were able to see the Spot robot from Boston Dynamics, a quadruped robot designed to navigate complex environments and be applied to industrial inspection, construction, safety, security, rescue and scientific research. This type of technology, according to Harris, represents the immediate future of NDT inspection.

The company's vision is not to develop everything in-house, but to collaborate with leading manufacturers, understand their tools and adapt them to the needs of the end customer.

Training and support: beyond the sale

One of the added values that stands out in the company's offer is customized training, with courses that are adapted to the specific requirements of each client and industry. If a company needs support to better understand the payload of their drones or simply guidance on how to operate complex equipment, the company designs customized training.

McClain emphasized that constant participation in real projects with their clients allows them to update the content of their courses and ensure that the training is aligned with current industry trends.

Guaranteed standards and quality

Confidence in its services is also backed by ISO 1901 certification, which ensures that calibration and support processes are aligned with international standards. Whenever one of its partners updates manuals or protocols, the company synchronizes its internal procedures to maintain consistency and ensure that delivered or rented NDT inspection equipment operates under globally recognized parameters, which is crucial in regulated sectors such as oil and gas or energy.

An active presence at key events

In addition to PANNDT, the company will be present at the Energy Drone and Robotics Summit in Houston, where they will offer live demonstrations of the Elios 3 platform from a specially set up trailer. They are also confirmed for the ASNT event in Orlando, strengthening their commitment to the dissemination of technologies applied to non-destructive testing.

Comprehensive commitment to efficiency

The proposal of MFE seeks to integrate technical knowledge, strategic alliances and proximity to the customer, in addition to the supply of NDT inspection equipment, and to be able to successfully implement these tools, reducing errors and improving operational safety.

We know what they need, we know their challenges, and we try to provide solution, and we stand back the equipment that we provide with them.

Syed Harris.

The company presents itself as a key player in the future of industrial inspection, where technology and expertise merge to deliver tangible results.
