Frost & Sullivan recently assessed the NDT workflow management software industry, and based on its findings, recognizes DÜRR NDT with the 2021 NDT Workflow Management Software New Product Innovation Award. The company enables less tedious and less time-consuming inspections to reduce operation time, and improve process efficiency and transparency through its Drive NDT holistic workflow management [...]
The field of terahertz (THz) imaging based on time-domain spectroscopy (TDS), a versatile technique for gathering images that enable us to "see through" plastics, textiles, and cardboard, has made enormous progress during the past two decades. Terahertz wavelengths—ranging from approximately 30 µm to 3 mm—are strongly absorbed by liquids and metal material, which makes terahertz imaging [...]
Collaboration between information technology leader Accenture, robot solutions provider ANYbotics and, data and digital twin platform provider Cognite, has propelled robotics into a new era. This is the era of mobile, autonomous and intelligent robots. Robots that enable a new level of hyper-automation. Autonomous robot systems are performing an increasing range of tasks across industries and [...]
It’s inevitable – even the best designed and maintained pipeline can have problems as it approaches the end of its intended design life. Being aware of possible defects and being able to assess their impact on the structural integrity of a pipeline is critical for operators. Okatecnologia, a pipeline inspection company serving the Chilean market, depends [...]
Orbital welding is a widespread process used in the aerospace industry to produce high quality joints in fuel lines, brake lines, hydraulic lines, among other applications. The integrity of these welds is critical; a small defect could cause a leak and pose a major safety issue. To ensure the reliability of rockets and aircraft, non-destructive inspection [...]
PETRONAS’ technology commercialisation arm, PETRONAS Technology Ventures Sdn Bhd (PTVSB) has entered into a partnership with Waygate Technologies Robotics AG (WTR), to commercialise a jointly developed robotic inspection device and scale its utilisation in the oil and gas industry. Based on the BIKE robotic system, the device enables improved data management and inspection of confined or [...]
Percepto, pioneering autonomous inspection by industrial robotics, today announced that the Civil Aviation Authority of Israel (CAAI) has approved the operation of their drones Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) for three industrial locations in Israel, including national water company Mekorot at its Eshkol site. The approval means that companies using Percepto drones to monitor their [...]
Apellix™ is taking on corrosion control via aerial robotic systems. Also known as uncrewed aerial vehicles, UAVs, or drones, these aerial robots are software controlled for precision flight and automation. Based out of Jacksonville, Florida, USA, the company is an Olympus OEM provider and has integrated our 38DL PLUS™ (38DLP™) ultrasonic thickness gauge on their aerial [...]
High pressure vessel inspection is a typical application for Eddyfi Technologies’ advanced non-destructive testing solutions; you can readily find our sophisticated phased array ultrasonic testing, or PAUT, technology being deployed to ensure the continued safe operation of these critical assets. However, no two inspections are ever the same —and in this particular case— one might say [...]
Dr. Tobias Neubrand, Technical Director for Electronics Inspection at Waygate Technologies, a Baker Hughes business and world leader in industrial inspection solutions, explains how advanced industrial radiography and computed tomography (CT) systems are revolutionizing non-destructive battery inspection, and why it’s a critical need for today’s fast-growing Electric Vehicle (EV) and eMobility manufacturing sector and for tomorrow’s [...]
