Jireh Industries

What Jireh Industries does

Jireh Industries Ltd. is a privately held Canadian manufacturer founded in 1981 in Ardrossan, Alberta (near Edmonton), that designs and builds manual and automated scanners used in non-destructive testing (NDT) for industrial asset inspection. Its product portfolio centers on modular robotic crawler platforms — NAVIC (steerable magnetic crawler), SKOOT (low-profile automated scanner, including SKOOT X for digital radiography), MOTIX (chain-based scanner for non-ferrous surfaces), TERAX (tracked crawler for internal pipe inspection), TROGLO (pipe crawler), AERIS (vacuum crawler for concrete/brick), and TRIPOD — supported by manual scanner families (ROTIX, MICROBE, STIX, CIRC-IT, ODI) and a PIT GAGE measurement tool. The scanners integrate with major NDT instruments from Olympus, Evident, GE Inspection Technologies, Zetec, Eddyfi, Sonatest, and Carestream NDT, enabling applications across ultrasonic testing (UT/PAUT/TOFD), digital radiography, remote visual inspection, and corrosion mapping on pipes, tanks, vessels, boiler tubes, and structural components.

The company's primary vertical is Oil & Gas, with secondary exposure to Power Generation, Aerospace, and Infrastructure/Municipal markets. It generates revenue through one-time capital equipment sales (products ranging from approximately USD $843 for the PIT GAGE to over USD $50,000 for a configured NAVIC corrosion mapping scanner), equipment rentals with flexible terms, professional services (on-location crawler operation, custom robotics development, staff training, repair/RMA), and replacement parts and accessories. Distribution is exclusively direct via a field-sales organization operating from three offices: the Edmonton-area headquarters and manufacturing facility (ISO 9001:2015 certified, handles design, engineering, manufacturing, assembly, packaging, and shipping in-house), Houston, Texas (opened 2014), and Rotterdam, Netherlands (opened 2018). Marketing is anchored by a heavy industry trade show presence (WWETT, IPEIA, COFREND Days, ECNDT, NDT2026, WEFTEC, ASNT), supported by digital content and a quote-builder e-commerce flow on the corporate website. Named customers include TEAM Industrial Services, Ontario Power Generation, Nortech, Arcanite NDE, Stroud Systems, MVA Inspection, and Riccardelli Consulting.

Revenue model

1. Automated & Manual Scanner Sales: Jireh designs and manufactures NDT scanners (automated crawlers, motorized scanners, manual scanners) sold as one-time capital equipment purchases. Products range from ~USD $843 (PIT GAGE) to ~USD $50,000+ (NAVIC corrosion mapping scanner). Configured and quoted per customer application. Includes a 3-year limited warranty.
2. NDT Equipment Rentals: Jireh offers rental equipment including robotics, crawlers, scanners, and non-destructive testing equipment with flexible rental terms. This allows customers to access equipment for project-based needs without capital purchase.
3. Professional Services (On-Location & Training): On-location services including crawler operation, staff training, and custom robotics deployment. Engineers and technicians assist customers with process automation, reducing time and increasing profitability. Repair and RMA services are also offered through the Edmonton facility.
4. Parts & Add-ons: Replacement parts, spare parts kits, batteries, cameras, wheels, cables, probe holders, and accessories sold as add-on components to the core scanner product lines. Organized by product compatibility (NAVIC, SKOOT, MOTIX, ROTIX, etc.).

Core offering

Jireh Industries designs, engineers, and manufactures manual and motorized non-destructive testing scanners, including magnetic crawlers, chain-based crawlers, tracked crawlers, low-profile scanners, and digital radiography crawlers. Products are sold as configurable capital equipment to operators and NDT service companies in oil & gas, power generation, aerospace, and municipal infrastructure for weld inspection, corrosion mapping, internal pipe inspection, and remote visual inspection. The company also offers equipment rentals, on-location robotic services, staff training, repair/RMA, and replacement parts.

Product overview

Jireh Industries offers a comprehensive portfolio of inspection robotics and non-destructive testing (NDT) equipment for the oil & gas, power generation, and aerospace industries. The product line centers around several core automated crawler platforms (NAVIC, SKOOT, MOTIX, TERAX, TROGLO) that serve as modular bases for various scanning applications, complemented by manual scanner families (ROTIX, MICROBE, STIX, CIRC-IT) for different inspection scenarios. The offering includes specialized sub-products such as the SKOOT X for digital radiography, TERAX for internal pipe inspection, AERIS vacuum crawler for concrete/brick inspection, and TRIPOD for magnetic wheel-based inspection. Key application categories include automated corrosion scanning, motorized weld scanning, high temperature scanning, remote visual inspection, and pipe inspection. The ecosystem is supported by extensive add-on modules (raster arms, probe holders, battery kits, positioning systems) and services (custom robotics development, rental, training). The company operates manufacturing facilities in Edmonton, Canada with sales offices in Houston and Rotterdam.

Direct peers

• Sonatest: Sonatest is a UK-based NDT equipment manufacturer producing portable ultrasonic flaw detectors and phased array instruments (Prisma, VEO). Jireh scanners (NAVIC, SKOOT, MOTIX) are explicitly compatible with Sonatest instruments, making it both an integration partner and a direct competitor for scanner-probe sales in the same accounts.
• Zetec (Waygate Technologies, a Baker Hughes business): Zetec, now part of Waygate Technologies within Baker Hughes, manufactures advanced UT, eddy current, and phased array NDT instruments (DYNARAY, Emerald, Quartz, Zircon/Topaz). Jireh scanners explicitly support the Zetec instrument family, and Zetec competes with Jireh in supplying integrated scanner-instrument packages to NDE service companies.
• Eddyfi Technologies: Eddyfi is a leading NDT equipment manufacturer specializing in advanced UT, phased array, eddy current array, and remote visual inspection. Jireh scanners explicitly support Eddyfi MANTIS, GEKKO, and Ectane 2 instruments, putting the two companies in direct partnership and head-to-head in the same NDE service company tooling decisions.
• Dolphitech: Dolphitech manufactures the DolphiCam2, an ultrasonic array camera for NDT inspection of composite materials (CFRP, GFRP). Jireh MOTIX base crawler lists Dolphitech DolphiCam2 as a compatible instrument, making it a direct peer in motorized scanning of non-ferrous and composite materials.
• Pragma NDT: Pragma is a phased array UT instrument manufacturer (PAUT 16/128, PAUT 32/128, UT400). Jireh scanners (NAVIC, SKOOT, MOTIX) are explicitly compatible with Pragma instruments, making it a direct peer in supplying integrated scanner + PAUT solutions to inspection service companies.
• Evident (formerly Olympus Industrial): Evident, the former Olympus Industrial Solutions division spun out of Olympus Corporation, is the global market leader in ultrasonic and phased array NDT instruments (OmniScan X3, Epoch series, Focus LT) and also sells scanners. Jireh scanners are explicitly designed to be compatible with Evident instruments, making Evident Jireh's most strategically intertwined direct peer.
• Advanced OEM Solutions (AOS): AOS designs and manufactures phased array, conventional UT, and FMC/TFM instruments. Jireh MOTIX lists AOS OEM-PA/OEM-MC/FMC as a compatible encoder connector, positioning AOS as a direct peer in the integrated scanner and PAUT/FMC instrument market.
• NDT Systems: NDT Systems manufactures ultrasonic and eddy current inspection instruments including the Raptor product line. Jireh scanners explicitly support NDT Systems Raptor instruments, making it a direct integration peer and competitor for advanced NDE instrumentation sales.
• M2M: M2M is a French manufacturer of phased array and conventional UT instruments (GEKKO, Mantis-compatible products). Jireh scanners support M2M GEKKO MOLEX instruments, positioning M2M as both a partner and a direct peer competing for scanner-plus-instrument sales in similar end-user accounts.

Broad incumbents

• Baker Hughes (Waygate Technologies): Baker Hughes owns the Waygate Technologies NDT platform (which includes Zetec and formerly GE Inspection Technologies). It is a broad incumbent offering a portfolio of NDT instruments, CT scanning, and remote visual inspection across oil & gas, aerospace, and power generation, overlapping with Jireh's verticals but at much greater scale and capital.
