Scan Systems celebrates 30 years
SCAN Systems is celebrating 30 years
of servicing the OCTG industry, with its
most recent innovation, ESP (enhanced
signal processing). The company
released the program commercially last
year after spending six years in research
and development. The software, along
with electronic upgrade advancements
including sophisticated algorithms and
newly designed sensors, has advanced
EMI technology.
“We are passionate about research
and development and have a long-
standing tradition of asking how do we
make things better, more efficiently and
just how far can we push the envelope?”
said Matt Rutledge, vice president and
general manager at Scan Systems.
Scan Systems designed and
manufactured the first portable EDM unit
(electric discharge machine) specifically
designed to introduce artificial flaws in
metal products. In the late 1980s, the
company started commercially offering
the EDM Notch Master unit.
At the same time, another team
within the company was working on two
products for pipe service operations.
The results of their efforts are the Tally-
Rite measuring systems, automated
pipe tally equipment that reduces direct
labour and human errors.
ScancreatedTDS(tubulardatasystem)
in 1990, a PC-based software system
for OCTG inventory management and
control within pipe service companies. As
specialised inventory control and
business management software, it was
specifically designed to manage and
monitor the storage, handling, inspection
and reporting of OCTG materials. A real-
time inventory control software, TDSW
allows customers to access up-to-the-
minute changes in the OCTG material
within their facility.
With Scan Systems’ roots being in
the pipe inspection business, it was
only natural the company would have
a group of engineers and support
staff that develops, manufactures and
supports new OCTG pipe inspection
equipment and technologies. PITCO™
(Pipe
Inspection
Technologies
Company) manufactures advanced EMI
equipment and also maintains an
extensive inventory of replacement
parts, supplies and equipment. PITCO
also maintains a fleet of service vehicles
manned by experienced technicians.
Scan Systems Corporation, of
Houston, Texas, USA, is a group of
four operating divisions. Each division
provides its own specialised proprietary
products and services for the support
of NDE (non-destructive evaluation)
companies. Scan Systems’ catalogue
of equipment includes EMI inspection,
custom calibration standards and
software.
