Webinar on IntACom 4 – Advanced Non-Destructive Inspection

Join the webinar for a comprehensive webinar on the IntACom 4.0 Joint Industry Project, which focuses on advanced non-destructive inspection methods. This session will provide an overview of the IntACom programme, highlighting the challenges that will be addressed in this latest phase. Building on previous knowledge and developments from the IntACom programme, the project aims to introduce new inspection techniques for robotic deployment, including microwave and ultrasonic non-contact methods, mobile robot-deployed NDT, and robot-deployed X-ray Computed Tomography (XCT). All advancements will consider the evolving demands of Industry 4.0.
