Our Team

We are a team of scientists, engineers, and research-intensive academics dedicated to advancing non-destructive testing technology. Drawing on decades of experience in university research, instrumentation development, and industrial collaboration, we design specialised measurement systems for applications where commercial off-the-shelf solutions fall short. Our mission is to bridge the gap between scientific discovery and practical instrumentation, enabling researchers to explore new ideas with confidence.


Our Products and Services

Mai-Tech doesn't stop at delivering instruments. We collaborate with our clients to co-invent 
new measurement capabilities, transforming research ideas into practical technologies.

Eddy Current Array System

Unlike conventional eddy current array instruments that are limited to predefined scan patterns, the Mai-Tech platform provides true Full Matrix Capture, enabling access to the complete information content of the sensor array.

Electromagnetic Tomography (EMT)

Transforming electromagnetic measurements into meaningful images, the Mai-Tech EMT platform brings research-grade tomography technology into a commercially available and fully digital solution.

Magnetic Barkhausen Noise (MBN)

Unlike conventional MBN systems that require measurements to be transferred after acquisition, the Mai-Tech platform streams and records data in real time, enabling immediate analysis and significantly improving workflow efficiency.

Phase Transformation Monitoring 

By combining gap-free multi-frequency measurements with high-temperature sensing up to 900°C, the Mai-Tech platform gives steel manufacturers a unique ability to observe phase transformations online as they occur.


Bespoke Sensor Array

When conventional sensors reach their limits, Mai-Tech develops bespoke sensing solutions tailored to your application. Combining scientific expertise with advanced electromagnetic design, our sensors provide enhanced lift-off tolerance, deeper penetration capability, and superior performance in challenging inspection environments.


Data
Processing Algorithm

From Data to Insight:

Mai-Tech's advanced processing algorithms provide automatic lift-off rejection, defect detection, and sizing capabilities, helping users obtain reliable results even in challenging inspection conditions. Standardised database storage ensures inspection data remain accessible, traceable, and ready for future analysis, research, and integration.


AI-Enhanced Solutions

By combining advanced  instrumentation with AI-driven signal analysis and real-time edge computing, Mai-Tech transforms complex electromagnetic measurements into actionable  information, enabling intelligent inspection directly at the point of measurement.

Co-Innovation

We don't just supply instruments. We work alongside researchers, engineers, and innovators to develop new measurement capabilities, bespoke sensors, intelligent inspection systems, and next-generation NDT technologies. By combining scientific expertise with advanced engineering, Mai-Tech helps transform ideas into practical solutions and research into innovation.

From concept to prototype, from research to deployment, Mai-Tech is your partner in innovation, helping shape the future of non-destructive testing and sensing technologies.
