We engineer and manufacture a wide range of innovative inspection and monitoring solutions
About IMdev
From the idea concept to implementation of new product we help our clients solve complex problem and support the development of the new product.
We provide you a full range of support covering all aspects of non-destructive testing (technology selection, transducer design, acquisition of data, data processing, mechanical integration…).
With over 25 years’ experience in development of numerous and varied inspection and monitoring systems in Oil & Gas, IMdev will help you develop your NDT system.
IMdev brings cutting-edge technologies, extensive experience and enlightened leadership to address industrial challenges.
Based on Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) methods, we supply state-of-the-art solutions and products for asset integrity inspection and monitoring.
Services
Consulting
We provide you a full range of support covering all aspects of non-destructive testing (technology selection, transducer design, acquisition of data, data processing, mechanical integration…).
We accompany you from the design to the commissioning of the inspection or monitoring system.
IMdev assits you in meeting all your challenges with tailor-made solutions.
R&D
Research and Development into new inspection and monitoring systems are at the heart of our development.
We develop new inspection or monitoring system from the basic concept (TRL 0-1) to the prototype demonstration in an operational environment (TRL 6-7).
With over 25 years’ experience in development of numerous and varied inspection and monitoring systems in Oil & Gas (capacitive sensor integrated on an RFID tag, in-line ultrasonic phased-array inspection of thermoplastic sheath, laser profilometry embedded on a pipeline internal inspection tool, temperature and stress measurements on optical fiber up to the underwater inspection robot of flexible pipe and its NDT laboratory), IMdev will help you develop your inspection or monitoring system.
Inspection/ Testing
IMdev non destructive testing services help customers evaluate materials, products and processes with a broad range of cutting-edge technologies.
We can inspect and evaluate your product (prototypes, models or first series) made of metals, alloys, plastics, thermoplastics and composites at each step of the product development.
What we do
Sensors
IMdev develops custom-made sensors in a wide range of environments (land, sea, underwater, aerial), and for a wide variety of applications (remote, onboard, buried) when the implementation of standard sensors is not possible.
We have experience in a broad range of sensing technologies:
- Ultrasound (Pulse Echo, Guided Waves)
- Electromagnetic (Eddy Current, Conductivity, Capacity)
- Magnetic (Magnetic Flux leakage)
- Acoustics (Acoustic Emission, Seismic)
- Optical sensing (Temperature, Stress, Acoustic)
- Radiographic (Digital Radiography, High energy Computed Tomography)
NDT
Non-destructive Testing (NDT) is a set of physical investigation methods that characterize the integrity of structures or materials without degrading or destroying them. The use of NDT occurs at different stages in the life cycle of a product. They are carried out either in the manufacturing phase or in the operation phase or as part of maintenance operations.
IMdev can support you in the implementation of standard NDT techniques (Ultrasonic Testing, Electromagnetic Testing, Magnetic Testing, Visual and Optical Testing, Radiographic Testing).
Integration
Inspection and monitoring require the integration of multiple disciplines (electronics, mechanics, servo control, control-command, software, human-machine interface…). Faced with these challenges, we must be able to define the best solution in terms of performance, costs, maintainability, and scalability.
IMdev integrate sensors in wide range of control and automation systems: CNC-controlled axes, process automation, network-based systems, robotics, remote monitoring system, underwater application, embedded systems.
Data Science
Data Science refers to the set of scientific, mathematical, statistical tools used on data sets to extract knowledge and insights.
IMdev process a wide range of data:
– NDT poduction process control data to ensure your process and products are stable and within specification.
– NDT images (C-Scan cartography of ultrasonic testing, Eddy-Current, Magnetic flux Leakage, digital radiography…) with sophisticated methods to ensure quality of your product.
– NDT signals of monitoring systems (distributed optical fiber sensor, accelerometer, acoustic, 3D positioning…) to ensure integrity of your asset.
SHM
Structural health monitoring (SHM) is a multidisciplinary science that implements NDT, sensors, and data analysis. Its objective is to maintain and extend the life of asset.
IMdev assits you in the definition, development and implementation of your monitoring system..
