Multi-technology Array Solution
MFL Array: 64-channel configuration with 128 multi-oriented MFL sensors, delivering high-resolution imaging, market-leading probability of detection, wide coverage (300 mm / 12 in.), and fast scanning speeds (1 m/s) for highly efficient tank floor inspection.
STARS: The patented technology that enables FloormapX to differentiate between top-side and bottom-side corrosion and report them separately. As a further advantage, STARS can also distinguish between material loss, such as corrosion, and material gain, such as weld spatter. It also generates detailed top-surface image profiles, even in the presence of coating, contributing vital tank integrity information.
More Power for Thicker Plates and Optimal PoD
The advanced bridge design, inclusive of the most powerful rare-earth magnets, injects up to 30% more magnetic flux into the inspection surface compared to previous models. This, combined with an exceptional signal-to-noise ratio, allows the FloormapX to detect smaller defects and for the first time inspect tank bottoms up to 20 mm (3/4 in) thick with a high sensitivity. The magnets can also be controlled and set to an ‘off’ condition for easier, safer handling, cleaning, and transportation.
Engineered For Harsh Field Conditions And Servicing:
Upgraded sealing and ingress protection across critical assemblies help keep water, dust, and contaminants out. Reinforced connectors, fastening, and scanner-head protection improve durability in demanding inspection environments. A modular design, simplified maintenance, and smarter battery status monitoring help reduce downtime and make servicing easier in the field.
Features
Critical zone inspection, without compromise:
Inspect the critical zone with the same FloormapX unit used for the rest of the tank floor. Its steering, tilting handlebar enables scanning tight to the tank shell, positioning the high-power magnet and high-resolution MFL sensor within 12 mm of the wall. This allows inspection of annular plates and adjacent floor plates with one system, while maintaining the magnetic performance and signal quality needed to scan thicker plates and deliver high-resolution, high-POD data in this critical area. The result is a unmatched combination of coverage, versatility, and performance.
Rapid and precise relocation:
Marking the floor while you map is now fast and easy, thanks to laser-assisted defect location. The laser line is simulated live in the C-scan, allowing to correlate the physical location of tank floor defects with C-scan indications.
Powered for productive inspections:
Motor-assisted scanning at up to 1 m/s helps operators inspect more area with less effort. By reducing fatigue during long shifts, FloormapX supports sustained focus, consistent coverage, and more productive inspections.
SmartMAGNET™:
Variable automated magnetic flux strength for optimized inspection performance depending on plate thickness. Besides, literally turn off powerful rare earth permanent magnets for easier placement during critical zone inspection, storage and shipping, and safer handling.
Adjustable bridge height:
Reach maximum sensitivity where conditions allow, and easily raise the bridge to scan even in the most challenging conditions, such as undulated plates, repair plates and lap welds or when surface preparation is not ideal.
Onboard powerful lighting:
Front dimmable, focalized LEDs with a diffusing lens and rear backlighting deliver high, uniform-intensity illumination based on chip-on-board technology and in line with API recommendations for visual inspection. This helps operators clearly identify product-side pitting and scan obstacles, while providing better visual confirmation of the areas highlighted by the laser line during scanning.
Easy-break™:
Optimized design for intuitive and ergonomic breaking of the magnets by operators.
Inspection Flexibility with 3 Scanning Modes
Mapping: A comprehensive inspection with full auditable data sets. Interrogate inspection data while in the tank or use the dedicated PC-based SIMS PROTM analysis and reporting software. During a scan, the operator can see the live data for both top and bottom defects.
FreescanTM: A simple, fast detection mode, leveraging all of the underlying technology for the best possible result. A quick way to locate corrosion. Scan in any orientation, with no need to measure plates
Pause on defect: A new feature built into both mapping and Freescan modes. Allows the scanner to pause during a scan for defect mark-up or prove-up. Continue the scan without missing a step; the data will be seamless.

Software
SIMS GO - Data Acquisition
An intuitive software designed to increase workflow efficiency and produce accurate and comprehensive tank inspection data.
With a streamlined interface and operation, operators can select pre-planned workflows or create their own for both mapping and manual modes.
A first for the Floormap are real-time Live scan displays during acquisition. An operator can see live MFL Array and STARS C-scan images. This feature combines seamlessly with an ability to pause the scan and use the laser-assisted defect location feature for rapid and precise defect location and identification: prove-up times have never been so fast. Once proven, the operator can update the automated and editable indication list leading to a paperless reporting strategy.
With a minimal software button click approach, operators spend more quality time scanning. An Ergonomic hardware thumb button allows operators to stop a scan, move to the next track, then start a scan without removing their hands from the drive handles or touching the tablet.
Once the inspection is complete, the removable tablet contains all the required data to produce a customizable report in accordance with EEMUA 159 and API 653 recommendations.
SIMS PRO - Reporting and More
SIMS PRO has been developed with customer feedback and engagement to provide a reporting solution that adheres to the modern inspection demands including those outlined in EEMUA 159 and API 653.
Seamlessly integrating with the FloormapX, SIMS PRO automatically displays the inspection data in an intuitive and immersive manner to provide a clear condition image of the tank bottom which is essential for devising optimal maintenance and repair strategies.
The FloormapX system combines seamlessly with SIMS PRO software suite to deliver detailed, high-quality inspection reports in the shortest possible timeframe.
Full data review, protected analysis
SIMS Companion gives asset owners full access to inspection data for review, exactly as it appears in SIMS Pro, without the ability to modify analysis or report details. Available through Eddyfi’s Customer Success Program, it helps stakeholders review results with confidence while preserving the integrity of the inspector’s work.
