Don’t miss Arix Technologies on the Drone Radio Show! Crain Malloy, CEO of Arix Technologies talks with host Randy Goers about the company’s robotic technology used to detect corrosion under insulation and how it benefits the energy industry.
Listen here:
Craig Malloy is CEO of Arix Technologies, a Houston-based company specializing in robotic solutions for inspecting corrosion under insulation—or CUI—in industrial piping systems. While we often focus on aerial drones on this podcast, some environments call for a different approach. That’s where Arix’s flagship product, the VENUS robotic crawler, comes in. Designed to traverse both horizontal and vertical pipes, it collects high-resolution data without removing insulation or erecting scaffolding—dramatically reducing inspection time, cost, and risk.
The technology has earned the trust of industry giants like Shell, ExxonMobil, and Chevron, proving its value in the field.
Craig is a seasoned CEO with over 25 years of experience founding and scaling global tech companies, including ViaVideo, Lifesize, and Bloomfire. A pioneer in video conferencing, he led Lifesize’s transformation into a global SaaS platform with 4K video and contact center solutions. Known for his customer-first mindset and servant leadership, Craig brings a unique blend of innovation, integrity, and vision to the world of robotics and industrial inspection.
In this episode of the Drone Radio show, Craig talks about Arix’s systems, their robotic technology used to detect corrosion under insulation and how it benefits the energy industry.
