As part of a strategic partnership with IBM, nybl integrated n.vision, an AI-powered inspection platform, with the IBM® Maximo® Visual Inspection tool and the IBM watsonx.governance® solution, to further transform how industrial inspections are managed. The two companies conducted three pilots to validate the integration and demonstrate the impact of leveraging Maximo Visual Inspection and watsonx.governance [...]
Corrosion prevention represents a critical challenge in industrial processes, with corrosion-related damage accounting for approximately US$2.5 trillion globally1. Corrosion occurs when metals degrade through environmental exposure, leading to structural weakening and potential failure. Effective prevention strategies offer substantial benefits: cost savings, enhanced operational safety, and reduced environmental contamination. In high-risk industries such as oil and gas, [...]
Phase3D, based in Chicago, Illinois, USA, has announced the release of two new large-format Fringe Inspection machines for metal Additive Manufacturing: Large Format Fringe Inspection and Large Format Fringe Inspection Hi-Rez. This in-situ inspection technology is intended to support the EOS M 400 series of machines and other large-format platforms such as the Nikon SLM NXG [...]

Pipelines are extensively used in environments such as nuclear power plants, chemical factories, and medical devices to transport gases and liquids. These tubular environments often feature complex geometries, confined spaces, and millimeter-scale height restrictions, presenting significant challenges to conventional inspection methods. Here, we present an ultrasonic microrobot (weight, 80 mg; dimensions, 24 mm × 7 mm; thickness, 210 [...]
Cycle Inspect has announced the launch of the world's first carbon fibre NDT inspection training and certification program, aligned to ASNT standards and purpose-built for the cycling industry. The program sets a new global benchmark in education for cycling industry professionals, with a focus on promoting safety, professionalism, and accessibility to the core principles and practices [...]
Furnaces are the beating heart of refining and petrochemical operations. They provide the high temperatures essential for distillation, cracking, and other core processes. But when they fail, the consequences can be severe. A single day of unplanned downtime can result in losses exceeding $1 million, alongside significant safety and environmental risks. This reality is driving operators [...]
NDT Solutions (NDTS), a leader in advanced nondestructive testing systems, today announced expanded capabilities and product offerings in ultrasonic immersion inspection technology, reinforcing its position as a trusted partner to the aerospace and defense industries. For over three decades, NDTS has specialized in the design and manufacture of high-precision ultrasonic inspection systems, delivering unmatched reliability and [...]
Numerous operations are running concurrently in industrial process plants across diverse infrastructure, including storage tanks, pipes and production equipment. The condition of this equipment must be maintained regularly to prevent risks of unplanned downtime and costly repairs. This is particularly true for structures susceptible to corrosion and erosion, as internal corrosion often takes place without notice. [...]
