The Deutsches Zentrum für Schienenverkehrsforschung (DZSF), in partnership with axes-engineering GmbH and Vrana GmbH, has announced DIMATE GmbH's participation in the ground-breaking "NDEface-V" research project. This innovative project is set to transform the rail industry by developing a universal non-destructive testing (NDT) data interface, addressing the current challenges posed by proprietary interfaces in the field. The primary focus of the NDEface-V research project is to create a standardised interface for non-destructive testing data, with the ultimate goal of optimising rail vehicle design and maintenance. Currently, the rail industry faces obstacles due to the use of proprietary interfaces, which hinder the seamless integration of data across different NDT systems. The lack of a universal interface makes it challenging to consolidate data from various sources, impeding efficient maintenance planning and hindering advancements in structural design.
The key challenge that the NDEface-V project aims to overcome is to establish an open and universal interface that allows for the direct utilisation of NDT condition data. This breakthrough will not only streamline maintenance processes but also contribute to the enhancement of structural design in rail vehicles. By eliminating the barriers created by proprietary interfaces, the project aims to revolutionise data handling in the rail industry.
As a trusted and experienced player in the industry, DIMATE GmbH is proud to be a part of this initiative. With a proven track record, the company is committed to contributing its expertise to drive innovation in the field of non-destructive testing. By actively participating in the NDEface-V project, DIMATE GmbH is poised to play a pivotal role in reshaping the future of NDT and data handling within the rail sector.
The development of a universal NDT data interface is crucial for the optimisation of construction and maintenance processes for rail vehicles. This interface will enable the seamless integration of test data from different systems, providing a unified platform for maintenance planning and structural design. The research project will not only explore the feasibility of such an interface but will also develop a comprehensive plan for its implementation. DIMATE GmbH's involvement in the NDEface-V project underscores its commitment to pushing the boundaries of innovation in NDT and contributing to the evolution of the rail industry. By collaborating with esteemed partners and leveraging its expertise, DIMATE GmbH is at the forefront of driving positive change, paving the way for a future where rail vehicle design and maintenance are more efficient and technologically advanced.
