This is the killer feature. Unlike traditional MFL where you scan first and analyze later, the 3Di-R builds a live top-down and cross-sectional view. You can see a suspected pit’s shape and depth while the robot is still over it. This has cut our re-scan rate by 70%.
The system delivers distinct data density and positioning tracking metrics over standard manual "stop-on-defect" alternative equipment.

Combines Magnetic Flux Leakage (MFL) for detecting volumetric material loss with Surface Topology Air-gap Reluctance Sensors (STARS) to distinguish between top-side and bottom-side corrosion. This is the killer feature
Yes, for our fleet size. But I’d also hire a dedicated data analyst—this tool’s output is too rich for a busy field technician to interpret alone on a laptop. This has cut our re-scan rate by 70%
In continuous use, the Rover-R gets about 4 hours. A full tank floor often takes 6-8 hours of scan time. You will need a second hot-swappable battery or a very long extension cord for the tether.
