Industrial Imaging Solutions

What Industrial Imaging Solutions does

Industrial Imaging Solutions (IIS), headquartered in Santa Clara, California, designs and integrates custom non-destructive testing (NDT) imaging systems for industrial customers in aerospace, defense, dental, and metrology applications. The company was founded around 1995 (with a 2008 incorporation reference on third-party data) and operates with a small engineering team (1-10 employees) led by ASNT Level III Certified Engineers with more than 15 years of digital imaging and NDT experience. IIS assembles its systems primarily from third-party components — Flat Panel Detectors from Varian, Computed Radiography technology from FujiFilm and AllPro, X-ray tubes from Kimtron, and related components from Comet and Detection — under its own brand, including the proprietary ZXaquire Software (currently Version 3.0) that supports 4D CT Data Visualization, Volumetric Temporal Computed Tomography (VTCT), Cone Beam Helical Scanning, and Asynchronous Scanning. Its in-house hardware line includes the Polaris X-Ray generator family (180-500 kV configurations), replacement tubes and cables, portable X-ray units, Linear Diode Arrays, and Flat Panel Detector modules.

IIS monetizes through a quote-based custom system design and sales model (typically structured as multi-year contracts), supplemented by hardware component sales (controllers, generators, heat exchangers, replacement tubes and cables), on-site ASNT-led training services (Radiation Safety, Digital X-Ray, Advanced Computed Tomography, Procedure and Technique Development), and ongoing technical consulting and troubleshooting support. The customer base is concentrated in regulated and mission-critical verticals — NASA, US Navy, US Army, US Air Force, Department of Energy, Boeing, ATK, Motorola, Intel, Mitsubishi, and Howmet/Alcoa — with the firm marketing capabilities across twelve industrial segments including aerospace, castings, metrology, dental, defense, weld inspection, core samples, forensics, material analysis, ordnance manufacturing, nuclear power, and petroleum. Differentiation rests on ASNT Level III talent, custom (not pre-designed) system configurations, in-house software, USA-domestic assembly, a stated best-in-industry warranty, and an environmentally differentiated design (30% lower power consumption, no film, long-life LED lamps, and CR exposure times at 10% of equivalent film). Go-to-market is consultative, direct enterprise field sales led by the engineering team, with no disclosed app, API, or channel partner ecosystem.

The revenue model is high-touch and project-based rather than recurring software; growth levers are vertical expansion (dental, nuclear, petroleum, forensics), new product capabilities (ZXaquire v3.0, Polaris family), and adjacent security scanning via the Kline Technical Consulting partnership. The company does not disclose revenue or funding and operates as a privately held entity with no institutional investors identified in the available data.

Direct peers

• YXLON International (Carl Zeiss): YXLON provides industrial X-ray and CT inspection systems for aerospace, automotive, and electronics — directly overlapping IIS's aerospace and castings verticals. Both offer CT, DR, and CR inspection systems with custom configuration and offer training/service programs.
• North Star Imaging (Varex): North Star Imaging specializes in industrial CT and X-ray inspection systems, with strong aerospace, defense, and additive manufacturing footprints. Acquired by Varex Imaging, it competes head-on with IIS in custom NDT system design and CT software.
• Waygate Technologies (a Baker Hughes business): Waygate Technologies (formerly GE Inspection Technologies / phoenix|x-ray) provides industrial radiography, CT, and ultrasonic NDT solutions for aerospace, energy, and manufacturing — overlapping IIS's aerospace, energy, and castings verticals with similar custom system capabilities.
• Varex Imaging Corporation: Varex Imaging is a leading independent supplier of X-ray imaging components, including X-ray tubes, flat panel detectors, and software used in industrial NDT and medical imaging. It directly competes with IIS's component portfolio (Varian partnership territory) and acquired North Star Imaging to deepen industrial CT exposure.
• Nikon Metrology: Nikon Metrology manufactures industrial X-ray/CT inspection systems for metrology and NDT applications across aerospace and precision manufacturing. Both IIS and Nikon target the metrology and dimensional-analysis use cases with custom system design.
• Comet Group (Comet Yxlon / Comet X-ray): Comet is both an IIS supplier (X-ray components) and a direct competitor in industrial X-ray subsystems and integrated inspection. The dual role creates channel conflict and underscores Comet as a benchmark peer in IIS's market.

Broad incumbents

• GE Inspection Technologies (legacy): GE's legacy industrial inspection portfolio (now largely Waygate under Baker Hughes) served aerospace and energy NDT at global scale. GE's broader instrumentation and industrial conglomerate footprint makes it a broad incumbent reference point for IIS's aerospace/defense/government market access.
• Shimadzu Corporation: Shimadzu manufactures industrial X-ray inspection systems and analytical instruments for non-destructive testing across aerospace, automotive, and electronics. A broad incumbent with overlapping CT and radiography product lines for industrial QA.
• Thermo Fisher Scientific (Industrial NDT): Thermo Fisher provides analytical instruments and industrial inspection products across materials, electronics, and life sciences. Its scale and global service network represent the broad-incumbent benchmark for industrial X-ray and analytical imaging.
• Siemens Energy (Industrial Inspection): Siemens Energy's industrial inspection offerings — including X-ray inspection referenced in IIS's Polaris "Siemens construction" heritage — serve energy, aerospace, and process industries at global scale. A broad incumbent against which IIS's smaller custom offerings compete on flexibility and turnaround.
