One million data points in UltraAnalytix database

June 29, 2018

UTComp now has more than one million data points for composite asset reliability derived from UltraAnalytix®  inspections for clients in a wide range of industries all around the globe.

Each data point typically involves thousands of calculations by our software algorithms. And each data point serves to enhance all future inspections and service-life forecasting by giving us more information about how individual FRP assets are performing compared to the population of FRP assets.
