Challenges

  • Complexity in data interpretation and analysis: Modern NDT strategies generate humongous inspection data, such as signals, which can be difficult to comprehend without any technical expertise. If the data is assessed accurately, inspectors might either identify defects that do not actually exist or fail to find real structural problems. Adding to this, the a widely accepted standard for interpreting NDT data across varied applications and industries. The lack of consistency makes the result less predictable and lowers the confidence amongst the end users. To overcome these issues, companies are investing in training and hiring proficient personnel, which increases costs and slows the adoption of advanced NDT technologies in less technologically developed sectors.
  • High maintenance and calibration requirements: The utilization of the NDT equipment needs regular maintenance and precise calibration to ensure the correct results. The calibration errors can affect the quality of inspection and result in inaccurate assessments. Various operational necessities can result in downtime and the cost of maintenance, mainly for companies handling large fleets of inspection. This has resulted in long-term cost efficiency and reliability in the operations.
