Nondestructive testing (NDT) assesses structures like bridges and pipelines without damage, ensuring safety in construction, manufacturing, and energy for over a century. NDT has evolved from basic tools (NDE 1.0) to smart systems (NDE 4.0), adapting alongside industrial revolutions.

Research shows that 65% of manufacturers struggle to fill job vacancies. To make up for unfilled roles, 82% of manufacturers are exploring new and innovative ways to invest in workforce enablement and optimization.

2022 event saw increases in attendance, exhibitors and show floor size.

Hexagon is a global leader in digital reality solutions, combining sensor, software and autonomous technologies. We are putting data to work to boost efficiency, productivity, quality and safety across industrial, manufacturing, infrastructure, public sector, and mobility applications.

“There is no reason and no way that a human mind can keep up with an artificial intelligence machine by 2035,” predicted the techno-futurist philosopher Gray Scott. But the truth is more nuanced: automation will create as many opportunities for humans as it reduces. Here’s how manufacturers can greatly enhance their processes—and address the U.S.’s skills shortage.

In line with Industry 4.0 objectives, many manufacturers strive to streamline their processes to quickly produce consistently superior products.

Today’s manufacturers are under pressure to be more flexible, reduce downtime and costs and increase efficiencies.

Artificial intelligence is here, and it is can improve quality in a number of ways. It can prevent bad parts from being made, discover trends, and monitor machine performance.

Much has changed over the years regarding the manufacturing process. Perhaps one of the biggest changes for modern manufacturers is that, today, it’s all about data.

Digitizing an organization’s existing systems, processes, tasks and assets can be a daunting undertaking. There are a myriad of different workflow processes to examine, siloed departments to incorporate and even existing connected device (i.e. IoT) data to consolidate.
