ARIX Robotics Platform
End-to-end platform for industrial pipe inspection — desktop control software, multi-client data portal, and automated professional reports — designed for engineers running condition assessments and asset-integrity programs in the field.
Problem & Context
ARIX Technologies builds robotic systems that crawl through pipes to inspect them from the inside, reporting back on corrosion, defects and material thickness for asset-integrity and regulatory compliance. The platform brings three pieces together: a desktop application that operators run on-site to capture inspection data, a centralized backend that organizes everything across companies, sites and inspection campaigns, and a report engine that converts raw data into professional, customer-ready PDFs without any manual document assembly.
Responsibilities
- Led architecture and delivery of the desktop control application used by inspection operators in the field
- Designed a folder-based observation workflow that automatically picks up inspection data, pairs it with robot scans, and prepares clean exports — replacing brittle direct-control flows
- Built the centralized portal backend with a multi-client model: companies, sites, inspection campaigns, role-based access for engineers, managers and pilots
- Delivered the automated report engine: matrix visualizations, professional Word and PDF outputs generated from templates, with no Office installation required
- Established the data interchange package format that keeps field operations and the central portal in sync over unreliable connections
- Set the engineering bar for the team: coding standards, architecture reviews, CI guidelines, retry and dead-letter handling, observability
Architecture & Stack
- Three integrated components: a Windows desktop control app, a centralized portal backend, and a containerized report-generation service
- Layered desktop architecture with an event-driven core, modular UI and pluggable export formats — built to extend, not rewrite
- Multi-client data hierarchy (Company → Site → Unit → Circuit → Line → Component) with role-based access for SuperAdmin, CompanyAdmin, Manager and Pilot
- Real-time updates across the platform over WebSocket, scaled with a Redis backplane
- Asynchronous report generation through a message queue with retry policies and dead-letter handling — slow jobs never block live operations
- Cross-platform PDF generation pipeline with no Microsoft Office dependency, designed to run anywhere Docker runs
Outcomes
- Unified field-to-office workflow improved operator efficiency and shortened training time for new inspectors
- Automated report generation eliminated manual document assembly — professional PDFs ready for the customer in minutes, not days
- Multi-client architecture lets the platform scale across multiple organizations and inspection campaigns without data crossover
- Standardized data exchange between field and portal made offline operation and reliable upload a non-issue
- Cross-platform report engine removed Office-installation requirements and made deployment dramatically simpler
- Established a maintainable engineering foundation that the in-house team can keep evolving
