Agenda

• Application Based NDE Training Solutions

• New Approach in Inspection Technology

Introduction to Innovative Inspection software Platform


Application Based NDE Training Solutions• Goal of application based NDE training is:

– To optimize understanding of technological applications

– Enhance the skills of the NDE personnel improving the Safety, Efficiency and Accuracy of the Inspection process

– Minimize risk of manual errors during Inspection process


Application Based NDE Training Solutions• Essential element in the cost effective use of NDE

technology demands knowledgeable and experienced personnel and is key to effectiveness of the NDE application

• Training provided by OEM will be the kind of knowledge and understanding that goes into the development of training course curriculums, making it the most valued and respected in the industry


Application Based NDE Training SolutionsWhy Choose GE Inspection Technologies NDT Academies?

• GE's Inspection Technologies businesses a global technology-driven organization committed to delivering innovative and reliable NDT training solutions that consistently bring value to our customers

• Our goal is to provide the training, Customer want his employees to have


Convenient & Enhanced NDE Training Options

Blended training combines classroom practical training with online CD-based training thus reducing costs and time away from work

Online Training course meeting ANSI/ASNT CP105-2006 for limited certification in both A-SCAN and Digital Thickness Gauging

Customized Training courses that can be tailored to meet customer specific needs

Courses may be scheduled at customer site to reduce training cost and scheduling complications


Challenges with NDE

NDE Inspection is heavily dependent on the knowledge, skill & capabilities of the personnel who perform NDE.

Lack of qualified and skilled NDT inspectors, there is a high chance of

manual error during examination setup,

Interpretation &

evaluation process


Challenges with NDE

With more knowledge comes a better decision

To overcome this issue GEIT developed a new

innovative and powerful new technology solutions

This will help transform the industry by bridging the skills

gap, makes NDE inspections easier, more accurate, faster

and dramatically improving the safety, efficiency and

accuracy of the inspection process

This Innovative technologies are

embedded into our training curriculum


Innovative Technology and new Approach

GE’s introduced new software eco- system for our UT, ET and Radiography tools to address several issues in the inspection industry and help solve the problem by

Introducing simplified operation

Connected devices

Remote collaboration to the inspection industry



Tailor on-device inspection workflow applications for technicians of all levels

Aid inspectors by placing photos, procedures, and videos on device for reference while setting up, acquiring data, or analyzing data

Limit range of adjustments available to the operator; and therefore limit the opportunity to make errors

Use in “Expert Mode” as well as “Workflow-on-Device” mode

Inspection Workflow

• Workflow guided inspection

• Remote Collaboration

• Increase POD

• Increase Productivity

• Connectivity*• Faster Reporting

• Interfaced with off-the-shelf Bluetooth

devices

• Procedure Driven Controls• Reduce Error Traps

• Simplify Use/insure uniformity of

application across technicians

• Easily distribute workflows • Maintain strict version control


Introduction to Radiography image enhancing tools

Flash! FiltersTM

A unique image enhancement software tool

based upon innovative technology bringing

Digital NDT Radiography inspection to an

advanced level


Image processing using Flash Filters.

A raw image is not optimal for reading and interpretation

Image processing visualizes the essential information which is embedded in the raw image


Application Based NDE Training Solutions. To Conclude

Training provided by OEM will be and value added advantage to the Employers / End Users

Embedding Innovative technologies into their day-to-day Inspection activities will optimize the POD decrease the turnaround and improving the safety & reliability of the plant
