Pelican Rope Works®, a leading domestic rope manufacturer, has announced a strategic partnership with Scope, the industry’s foremost provider of AI-robotic inspection systems. Scope’s advanced inspection technology will be used nationwide to support Pelican Rope’s safety-first mission—offering intelligent, real-time diagnostics for rope condition, performance, and lifecycle integrity in the field.

Scope’s system leverages artificial intelligence and computer vision to detect strand separation, abrasion, compression damage, and other wear indicators with unmatched confidence. The result is a digital inspection record that improves reliability, extends rope life, and reduces downtime in safety-critical environments.

“This collaboration marks a significant step in ensuring the long-term reliability and safety of our rope products in the field,” said Terry Walker, CEO of Pelican Rope Works. “Scope’s groundbreaking inspection platform aligns perfectly with our commitment to innovation, quality, and end-user protection. We’re grateful to the teams on both sides who worked to make this partnership a reality.”

Jacob P. Williams, Executive Vice President of Pelican Rope Works, emphasized the broader impact: “Leveraging AI-driven technologies like Scope is a key part of our growth strategy. As we expand into new markets and applications, these tools help us scale with confidence—delivering smart, data-backed solutions to customers who demand performance, safety, and consistency.”

Arthur Medina, COO of Scope, added, “This partnership underscores Pelican Rope’s steadfast commitment to quality and safety, reinforcing their dedication to the highest industry standards. By aligning with Scope, Pelican Rope enhances its ability to offer customers access to Scope’s cutting-edge inspection technology, further prioritizing their well-being and ensuring that every product is inspectable and its integrity verifiable.”

Among the first ropes to be supported under the partnership are two of Pelican Rope’s most trusted product lines:

• Furious-12 (H-12) – HMPE 12-Strand Braided Synthetic Rope: Built for extreme performance, H-12 is a naturally hydrophobic rope designed to resist water, chemicals, abrasion, and flex fatigue. Incredibly strong—pound-for-pound stronger than steel—H-12 is ideal for overhead pulling, utility transmission lines, marine operations, and other demanding environments where strength and reliability are non-negotiable.
• P-12 – 12-Strand Single Braid Polyester Rope: A high-tenacity, low-stretch rope that’s easy to splice and resistant to heat, the P-12 is ideal for torque-free handling in industrial, utility, and marine applications.

This partnership brings together two leaders committed to safety, durability, and smart solutions—elevating the standard for rope inspection and performance monitoring across demanding industries.
