Profile
Invert Robotics is a specialist robotics company focused on non-destructive testing (NDT) and remote inspection solutions for industrial assets. Founded as a spin-off from the University of Canterbury in New Zealand, the company has grown into a global player with headquarters in Dublin, Ireland, and operations across Europe, the United States, Australia, and New Zealand. Invert Robotics designs and manufactures advanced crawler robots that eliminate the need for human entry into confined spaces, hazardous areas, or work at heights, significantly improving safety while reducing downtime and inspection costs.
The company’s core technology uses patented vacuum adhesion (and hybrid magnetic systems) that allows robots to adhere securely to smooth surfaces, including stainless steel, aluminum, plastic, glass-lined vessels, and carbon steel. These modular, remotely operated platforms carry up to 5 kg of NDT tooling and deliver high-accuracy data (detecting defects as small as 65 microns). Over 3,000 inspections have been completed in 24+ countries, with zero reported accidents and often halving asset downtime.
Key robot-based products (platforms):
- V-Series (Vacuum): Designed for non-ferrous/non-magnetic surfaces.
- V1200: Compact model for smaller vessels (min. 1.2m diameter) with top access.
- V1800: Larger platform suited for bigger vessels, light chemical tanks, and aircraft fuselages.
- H-Series (Hybrid): Combines vacuum and magnetic adhesion for redundancy and versatility on coated, glazed, or stainless-steel surfaces.
- H2200: Ideal for glass-lined vessels and sensitive surfaces.
- M-Series (Magnetic): For ferromagnetic/carbon steel assets.
- M1000: Newer platform capable of operating on coated carbon steel (min. 6mm wall thickness). Features dual independent tracks and active magnetic control for smooth transitions (walls, ceilings).
These robots support a wide range of NDT tools, including ultrasonic thickness measurement, laser surface mapping, visual inspection, and more. They are CE- and AVI-certified, portable (some as check-in luggage), and controlled remotely for real-time data reporting.
Invert Robotics serves industries such as food production, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, aerospace, and energy. The company offers full inspection services, repair services, rentals, tailored solutions, and comprehensive data analytics. Its solutions emphasize safety, accuracy, efficiency, and repeatability, helping clients maximize asset integrity while minimizing risks and operational disruptions.
