Power of NDE Digitalization – Timing is Everything

The digitalization of Nondestructive Evaluation (NDE) is about reimagining the inspection process by fully utilizing digital NDT equipment. This approach enhances inspection outcomes, improves inspector safety, and reduces decision cycle time. As many companies embark on their digital transformation journey, it's crucial not to overlook the NDT community. This course provides NDT practitioners and managers with essential knowledge on why and how to stay relevant in the age of Industry 4.0.
