Digital eddy current array platform
12/11/2026
Eddyfi Technologies has announced the commercial release of Ignite, a digital eddy current array (ECA) platform that integrates acquisition, analysis and automation for surface inspections. Compact, lightweight, robot-ready and open by design, Ignite helps teams standardise procedures, improve repeatability and transition from manual inspections to automated production workflows.Ignite brings advanced surface ECA into everyday inspection and production environments by combining compact instrumentation, intuitive software, open data and Eddyfi’s probe and application expertise. The platform removes barriers to deployment at scale, whether customers are replacing conventional methods, standardising inspection stations, increasing throughput or integrating ECA into an automated production line.

At approximately 2.9 kg, Ignite is designed for fixed inspection stations, robotic cells, crawlers and factory-deployable surface inspection systems. It supports eight probe inputs, upgradable 64-, 128- and 256-channel configurations and array probes with up to 128 sensors. Its 5 Hz to 7 MHz operating range supports a broad set of surface crack detection and high-speed inspection applications.
The Ignite platform is supported by two complementary software environments. Building on 15 years of Magnifi expertise in ECA inspection, Magnifi Ignite brings familiar 2D and 3D C-scan tools and proven manual inspection workflows into a redesigned interface, while adding new capabilities dedicated to automation, including one-button calibration and real-time processing. ECA probes can also benefit from the new QuickLink technology that stores set-up files and procedures directly inside the probe, reducing configuration time and facilitating set-up automation.
In automated environments, Magnifi Control provides a headless acquisition engine for unattended 24/7 operation. It communicates with programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and automated systems, triggers acquisitions and calibration, processes signals and alarms in real time and exports data in an open format for external analysis, 3D mapping and integration with quality or production systems.
Ignite is designed around four customer outcomes: to standardise, by delivering consistent inspections across operators, locations and shifts; to simplify, by reducing set-up, training and workflow complexity through guided digital tools; to automate, by scaling from manual and semi-automated inspections to robotic and fully automated deployments; and to integrate, by connecting inspection data and commands to existing production, quality and analytics environments while maintaining access to the underlying data.
Key applications include the inspection of: turbine discs, blades and rotating components; composite overwrapped pressure vessels; orbital, electrical resistance, friction stir and double submerged arc welds; surface crack detection on critical aerospace and manufacturing parts; crawler-based systems for the inspection of large surfaces; and
high-speed rail inspection.
