Development

 

Innovation is one of the cornerstones of UltraRS’s growth and development. Our research and development activities focus on designing new ultrasonic non-destructive testing (NDT) solutions that address the increasing industrial demands for reliability, safety, and asset integrity monitoring.

Leveraging our expertise in ultrasonics, electronics, mechanics, and signal processing, we develop technologies that enhance inspection performance and expand the range of applications for ultrasonic testing methods.

Continuous Software Development and Improvement

Software developed by UltraRS plays a central role in our inspection and measurement solutions.

Our ongoing development efforts focus on:

  • Continuous improvement of user interfaces;
  • Automation of measurement procedures;
  • Advanced ultrasonic signal processing;
  • Increased accuracy of measurement algorithms;
  • Enhanced data management and visualization capabilities.

These developments enable us to provide our customers with increasingly powerful, intuitive, and industry-oriented tools.

Development of Wireless Ultrasonic Sensors

UltraRS is actively conducting research aimed at integrating wireless technologies into ultrasonic inspection systems.

Current developments include:

  • Bolt preload and tightening monitoring;
  • Tracking the evolution of mechanical stresses;
  • Continuous monitoring of critical structures;
  • Low-power autonomous systems;
  • Secure transmission of measurement data.

These technologies pave the way for simpler, faster, and more frequent monitoring of industrial assets.

Defect Detection in Coarse-Grained Alloys

Ultrasonic inspection of coarse-grained materials presents significant challenges due to the high attenuation and scattering of ultrasonic waves.

UltraRS develops dedicated methods to:

  • Improve defect detection in coarse-grained alloys;
  • Optimize data acquisition and signal processing techniques;
  • Increase signal-to-noise ratio;
  • Enhance characterization of detected indications;
  • Extend inspection capabilities to materials traditionally considered difficult to inspect.

These research activities contribute to improving the reliability of inspections performed on critical components used in the energy, nuclear, aerospace, and heavy industry sectors.

Innovation Serving Industry

UltraRS’s research and development activities are driven by a continuous improvement approach aimed at transforming technological advances into practical industrial solutions.

Our objective is to provide customers with increasingly effective tools for measurement, inspection, and structural integrity monitoring while meeting the growing demands for safety, reliability, and operational performance.

UltraRS also supports its customers in their research and development initiatives. When projects involve eligible R&D activities, the associated expenditures may qualify for the French Research Tax Credit (CIR), helping companies strengthen their innovation efforts while benefiting from available R&D incentives.
