<p>Automation made the greatest impact on many elements of our modern life as a result of enabling the production of extremely large number of affordable products with known performance specifications. When applied to NDE, the process can be done significantly faster, more reliably and at lower cost. Generally, automatic NDE minimizes human errors, increases the probability of detecting flaws, can be operated at harsh environments and rapidly provides accurate data for quantitative NDE. Using computerized signal processing, NDE systems are now capable of handling extremely large number of replicate samples and related databases at unprecedented speed and efficiency. Such systems significantly increased the reliability of NDE and they are improved continuously with the evolution of the technology. The 'Four Wheeled Robotic Scanner' we have developed offers enabling various technology together, which can be used in different industrial applications like storage tank inspection using NDT methods. This scanner is very flexible since it can be used at different heights of the tank shell.</p> |
