Gecko Robotics TOKA 4

Our Verdict: Revolutionizing tank and vessel inspection with data-dense thickness mapping that manual methods cannot match.

The Gecko Robotics TOKA 4 is a magnetic wall-climbing robot that performs ultrasonic thickness mapping of steel structures including storage tanks, boilers, pressure vessels, and ship hulls. It drives across vertical and overhead steel surfaces using powerful magnetic wheels, taking thousands of thickness measurements per hour.

The robot’s cloud-based Cantilever platform processes the collected data into detailed thickness maps and corrosion heatmaps, identifying areas of wall thinning and predicting remaining asset life. This data-driven approach transforms inspection from a periodic checkbox into a continuous asset integrity management program.

Pros & Cons

A quick summary of where this model performs well and where it falls short.

Pros

  • Orders of magnitude more data than manual UT inspection
  • Cloud analytics with corrosion heatmaps and predictions
  • Climbs vertical and overhead surfaces autonomously
  • ±0.1mm accuracy meets NDT standards
  • Dramatically reduces tank downtime for inspection

Cons

  • Only works on ferrous (steel) surfaces
  • Requires clean surface for accurate readings
  • Limited to smooth and moderately curved surfaces
