"Combining Surface Feature Derived Simultaneous Localization and
Mapping (SLAM) with Laser Ultrasound Testing: a Novel Laser-based Non
Destructive Testing (NDT) System to Scan Secondary Moisture Separators
within CANDU Nuclear Power Plants"
The EdgeSpec 3D Handheld is a compact, high-precision laser scanning
system designed for sub-millimeter accuracy without the need for
external references. It employs a proprietary 3D scanning process to
deliver reliable, repeatable measurements for inspection and quality
control, including use in Foreign Material Exclusion (FME) zones.
Developed for industrial environments, the system is engineered to
meet the highest quality standards. Its design prioritizes ease of use
while delivering high-resolution data capture for detailed analysis.
Consistency and precision are ensured under VI3D Labs' ISO 9001:2015
certification.
VI3D Labs Inc. is proud to announce that, as of January 2025, we have
officially achieved ISO 9001:2015 certification for our Quality
Management System (QMS). This significant milestone reflects our
continued commitment to delivering high-quality inspection
technologies and services that meet the evolving needs of our clients
across the manufacturing and quality assurance sectors.
ISO 9001:2015 is an internationally recognized standard that sets out
the criteria for a quality management system, emphasizing risk-based
thinking, customer satisfaction, continuous improvement, and strong
leadership. Earning this certification affirms that VI3D Labs operates
with a high degree of process consistency, traceability, and a
customer-focused approach.
“Achieving ISO 9001 certification is an important step forward for our
company,” said Chris Bertoni, Co-Founder of VI3D Labs Inc. “It
validates the rigorous quality practices we've put in place and
underscores our dedication to delivering reliable, high-performance
systems like EdgeSpec. Our clients can be confident that we meet the
highest standards in our industry.”
This certification applies to all aspects of VI3D Labs' operations,
including the design, development, Services and support of our
advanced 3D laser scanning solutions. It also reinforces our ongoing
mission: to provide precise, easy-to-use inspection technology that
enables manufacturers to maintain quality, reduce rework, and optimize
production.
As VI3D Labs continues to grow and innovate, ISO 9001:2015
certification provides a strong foundation for future advancements and
partnerships. We remain committed to quality, integrity, and
continuous improvement in everything we do.
University of Alberta
VI3D Labs is working with the University of Alberta on exciting space
research using data from the European Space Agency's Swarm
satellites. These satellites measure electric and magnetic fields
around Earth very precisely. With this data, we can learn more about
how energy moves in the upper atmosphere (the ionosphere) and how
space weather affects Earth. Our focus is on studying certain waves,
called EMIC waves, which may cause sudden drops in the number of
high-energy electrons trapped in space near Earth, in a region known
as the Van Allen belts.
European Space Agency
Satellites and astronauts in space are affected by harmful,
high-energy particles, especially so-called “killer electrons” in
Earth's radiation belts. These particles can damage satellite
electronics and systems. Their numbers can change dramatically in just
a few hours, so predicting them is critical for space safety. One way
these dangerous electrons are lost is through interaction with to
space plasma waves called EMIC waves which scatter them into
Earth's atmosphere. As part of a project with the University of
Alberta, we're helping analyze data from the Swarm satellites to
track and understand these waves. Our work is helping to build a new
tool for monitoring space weather using Earth observation satellites.
