What ARIX Technologies does

ARIX Technologies is a Houston-based robotics and data analytics company that develops pipe-climbing robots to detect Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI) in industrial facilities. Founded in 2017, the company builds the VENUS robotic inspection platform — a semi-autonomous crawler equipped with Pulsed Eddy Current (PEC), Remote Transform Radiography (RTR), and visual NDT sensors — that delivers 360-degree circuit coverage without scaffolding, rope access, or confined-space entry. Inspection data is delivered through the ARIX Portal, an interactive 3D analytics environment with annotated repair recommendations and long-term asset tracking, complemented by a proprietary EMI compensation algorithm published in the Nondestructive Testing and Evaluation journal that improves PEC accuracy in high-voltage environments.

The company operates a managed-service commercial model, scoping each engagement through an initial site walk and delivering end-to-end inspection programs to enterprise customers. Primary verticals are Oil & Gas (upstream, midstream, downstream) and Petrochemicals, with Power & Utilities as a secondary segment served via the EMI-enabled pipeline. Named enterprise customers include ExxonMobil, Chevron, Saudi Aramco, Shell, INEOS, NASA, Con Edison, and Petromax Refining. Distribution combines direct enterprise field sales with a Global Partner Program (launched July 2025) for NDT firms and industrial MSPs, plus a 01Lab partnership that extends reach into the GCC region.

ARIX is a privately held, venture-backed company that has raised over $15 million cumulatively, anchored by an oversubscribed Series A led by AlleyCorp and Benson Capital Partners in 2023. The company completed a leadership transition in 2025, bringing in Craig Malloy as CEO while founder Dianna Liu moved to a full-time President role. Quantified outcomes from field deployments include 7-15x faster inspection timelines, 30-70% cost reductions versus manual methods, 85-100% circuit coverage versus 3-7% from spot-check methods, and 0 TRIR safety records.

Core offering

ARIX Technologies delivers robotic inspection of Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI) in industrial piping as an end-to-end managed service. Pipe-climbing robots equipped with Pulsed Eddy Current (PEC) and Radiographic Testing (RTR) NDT sensors perform 360-degree inspection through insulation without scaffolding or confined-space entry, and inspection data is delivered through an interactive 3D analytics portal with annotated reports and repair recommendations.

Product overview

ARIX Technologies offers a robotic inspection platform for Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI) detection in industrial facilities. The core offering is the VENUS robotic platform, which performs 360° pipe-climbing inspection as a managed service. The VENUS platform supports multiple NDT technologies including PEC (Pulsed Eddy Current) and RTR (Remote Total Radiography), with the VENUS RTR+PEC being a combined variant. Inspection data is delivered through the ARIX Portal as interactive 3D results and annotated reports. The Titan robot provides semi-autonomous inspection capabilities for the energy sector. The company also provides companion resources like the ARIX CUI Detection e-Guide.
