Data bottlenecks are as costly as downtime.
When inspections stall because of slow data interpretation, the impact goes beyond inconvenience — it means increased costs, delayed maintenance, and potential safety risks. Traditional methods often require inspectors to spend more time piecing data together than actually scanning. That’s why fast, reliable NDT inspection software has become just as critical as the scanners themselves.
The problem with slow data interpretation
Inspection teams face an ongoing challenge: large datasets that take too long to process. Delays in generating reports can lead to extended shutdowns, inaccurate maintenance schedules, and missed early-warning signs of corrosion or defects. In industries where downtime costs thousands per hour, speed isn’t just nice to have — it’s essential.
Analyst X, Analyst XR, Analyst B-Scan — built for speed and accuracy
At ScanTech, software is developed alongside the hardware to ensure inspectors have a seamless experience in the field.
- Analyst X – Purpose-built for B-Scans, delivering fast thickness profiling with automated API 653 tank inspection reports in seconds.
- Analyst XR – Designed for corrosion mapping with integrated algorithms, enabling inspectors to visualize and analyze large datasets quickly.
- Analyst B-Scan – Tailored for tanks, pipes, and vessels where thickness measurements must be accurate and instantly reportable.
Together, these tools reduce manual work, increase consistency, and speed up reporting, giving inspection companies a competitive edge.
Built-in compliance algorithms (API 653, B31G)
Meeting standards shouldn’t mean spending hours on manual calculations. That’s why Analyst software includes pre-programmed compliance algorithms like:
- API 653 for aboveground storage tank evaluations.
- ASME B31G for pipeline integrity and corrosion assessment.
These built-in tools automate compliance reporting, reducing human error while producing field-ready reports at the click of a button.
Intuitive workflows for field inspectors
Software should never slow down the job. Analyst interfaces are designed with inspectors in mind: simple navigation, clear visualization, and minimal training required. Whether running a pipe scan with the XR Spider or performing B-Scans on tanks and vessels, inspectors can move from data collection to actionable insights without interruption.
Software + hardware synergy = efficiency
Unlike off-the-shelf programs, Analyst software is engineered specifically for ScanTech’s scanners. This software-hardware synergy ensures seamless integration: encoders, probes, and scanners feed directly into workflows optimized for accuracy and speed. The result? Less downtime, cleaner data, and reports delivered faster than ever.
Faster inspections mean faster decisions
In inspection, time is money — and safety. By combining rugged scanners with powerful NDT inspection software, ScanTech helps service companies and asset owners minimize downtime while maximizing data quality.
