LoneStar NDE Innovations

LoneStar NDE Innovations specializes in developing advanced non-destructive testing (NDT) technology, offering a suite of hardware and software designed to simplify complex inspection processes. The company provides a CAD-free inspection path planning platform that enables rapid, intuitive operations with minimal setup time. Their technology includes collaborative robotic (cobot) inspection systems, such as the Orion tool, which features 3D depth cameras and automated data capture. By integrating hardware with specialized software, they provide 3D data visualization, custom data analysis automation, and open data archiving, supporting various modalities including ultrasonic, eddy current, and phased array inspections. In addition to their product line, the company maintains an ISO 17025 accredited materials testing facility and offers NAS-410 and ASNT Level 3 professional services.

These capabilities are designed to address critical challenges in industrial inspections, such as technician fatigue, difficult data interpretation, and the lack of digital models for legacy platforms. Their systems aim to improve efficiency and decision-making speed across component lifecycles, from development to in-service monitoring. The company serves diverse industries, ranging from aerospace and rotorcraft to renewable energy sectors. LoneStar NDE Innovations also engages in research and development, including federal contract work with agencies like the Air Force Research Laboratory to advance portable, all-in-one testing systems for defense applications.
