IDEX Corporation :: Pumps, Valves, Flow Meters, Fluidics, Rescue Tools & Precision Dispensing Systems

IDEX Corporation is a diversified global engineered products company founded in 1988 and headquartered in the Chicago area. It operates more than 50 specialized businesses organized into three segments: Fluid & Metering Technologies, Health & Science Technologies, and Fire & Safety / Diversified Products. IDEX companies design and manufacture mission-critical components such as pumps, valves, flow meters, fluidics, rescue tools, and precision dispensing systems that serve life sciences, water, energy, fire & safety, and industrial markets worldwide.

While IDEX Corporation does not build general-purpose industrial robots, several of its businesses deliver specialized robot-based products focused on infrastructure inspection and monitoring. The most prominent example is iPEK, which produces advanced robotic sewer inspection crawlers such as the ROVION SAT II. This powerful crawler system can inspect pipes from 150 mm to 2000 mm in diameter, supports lateral launches, and integrates push rods and cable reels for efficient, long-distance wastewater pipeline inspections. Other related offerings through IDEX entities like Envirosight and the recently acquired Nexsight portfolio include tethered and untethered robotic crawlers, free-floating inspection devices (via Subterra AI), and integrated flow-monitoring solutions that combine robotics with cloud-based analytics for predictive maintenance of sewer infrastructure. These systems help utilities and municipalities perform safer, faster, and more accurate inspections while reducing the need for confined-space entry.

IDEX Corporation positions its robotic technologies as part of broader water and infrastructure solutions that improve public safety and operational efficiency.
