Scan Systems celebrates 30 years SCAN Systems is celebrating 30 years of servicing the OCTG industry, with its most recent innovation, ESP (enhanced signal processing). The company released the program commercially last year after spending six years in research and development. The software, along with electronic upgrade advancements including sophisticated algorithms and newly designed sensors, has advanced EMI technology.
