Mission

CTRL+ designs and builds optical metrology instruments for the inspection of sand control filters and industrial filtration media. Our purpose is simple: turn invisible filter quality into a documented, comparable measurement — so manufacturers can prove their work and operators can trust what they install.

The iceberg

The iceberg has been our signature for a reason. The visible part of a filter tells you almost nothing about the slot geometry, the wire profile or the aperture distribution that actually drive performance. CTRL+ instruments measure the part that stays hidden — and bring it to the surface, in numbers, on a report.

What we build

Five measurement instruments, one calibrated standard:

  • most+ — portable optical inspection, on the filter
  • bost+ — laboratory bench for full filter characterisation
  • mbost+ — compact mobile bench
  • olmost+ — in-line measurement for production
  • osmart+ — real-time process control

Each instrument outputs the same calibrated metrics, so a measurement made on a portable in the field reads the same as one made on the lab bench.

Arcadia+ is the data platform that ties them together — a family of applications: an on-instrument software running on the THT7 computer that performs the measurement and transmits it to the cloud apps, plus Arcadia Report+, Arcadia QM+, Arcadia SQC+ and Arcadia SPC+ for archiving, analytics, quality management and process control.

Industries

Built for sand control filters in oil & gas, our instruments also serve water wells, geothermal, paper, mining, petrochem and process filtration — wherever a filter needs to be qualified against a specification.
