Advanced automated NDT systems for exact and reliable inspection

Automated NDT inspection supports inspection teams with reliable defect detection and documentation for welds, pipelines and pressure vessels in critical structures across industries such as oil and gas, petrochemicals and power generation. The need arises when inspections must be repeated, performed within limited timeframes or require consistent documentation for assessment and reporting.

When manual inspection limits progress

Manual inspection can create uncertainty in defect detection, increase time use and require specialised labour. This can slow maintenance, production control and in-service assessment, while making consistent documentation more difficult. The service is part of our expertise area Asset integrity and asset lifecycle management.

High time and labour demand slow inspection progress

Manual inspection of critical structures requires significant time and specialised personnel. This increases operational costs and limits the scalability of inspection activities across assets and locations.

Uncertain defect detection reduces confidence in results

Manual methods may lead to missed defects or false positive findings. This makes it difficult to assess the condition, prioritise follow-up actions and document inspection results with sufficient confidence.

Exposure to demanding environments increases operational risk

When inspection relies on manual work in hazardous or demanding environments, personnel are more directly exposed to risk. This increases the likelihood of human error and reduces the inspection's reliability.

Lack of a suitable inspection setup limits applicability

Without a setup that matches material type, object size and inspection conditions, it becomes difficult to carry out inspections that meet the required level of consistency and documentation.
