MISTRAS Partners Villari To Deliver Real-Time Crack Detection For Steel Structures

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 15 (Bernama) -- MISTRAS Group, a global leader in technology-enabled industrial asset integrity and testing solutions, has partnered with Villari, a technology provider in wireless crack-detection systems for steel structures.

The collaboration enables MISTRAS to offer Villari’s sensor technology to customers with any steel structure susceptible to cracking, advancing continuous, data-driven structural health monitoring and proactive maintenance.

MISTRAS Group Vice President, Monitoring Technologies, Jonathan Burns said this solution enables smarter decisions, minimises downtime, and extends asset life.

“By integrating Villari’s certified wireless crack-detection technology with our proven monitoring solutions, customers gain a continuous view of asset integrity that helps them take action before minor defects become critical or confidently plan maintenance to maintain operational safety and uptime,” he said in a statement.

Meanwhile, Villari Chief Executive Officer and Founder, Olivier Baas said: “By partnering with MISTRAS, we can bring our technology to a wider range of industries and geographies, combining their deep expertise in asset integrity and inspection solutions with our wireless monitoring system to help customers ensure safety, protect uptime and improve efficiency and sustainability.”

The Villari system is the only wireless monitoring technology known to detect fatigue crack growth through passive magnetic flux leakage, identifying cracks earlier than traditional non-destructive evaluation (NDE) methods.

This capability gives MISTRAS customers access to continuous, real-time insight into asset health through an integrated solution that combines Villari’s proven sensor technology with MISTRAS’ expertise in continuous monitoring and data analytics, reducing the need for manual inspection.

MISTRAS integrates advanced sensor technologies within its broader Data Solutions ecosystem to provide customers with real-time intelligence on asset condition and performance.

These wireless sensors add another layer of insight to predictive maintenance programmes, enabling customers to stay ahead of potential failures, reduce unplanned downtime, and extend the life of critical infrastructure.
