Learn how the Industrial Internet is transforming equipment reliability, asset inspection and nondestructive testing. Tara Merry of GE Inspection Technologies presented at the 2014 ASNT Annual Conference in Charleston, SC. The presentation also included a live pre-release demonstration of remote collaboration using the soon-to-be-launched InspectionWorks Connect remote collaboration tool. Ideal for the Oil & Gas, Power Generation and Aerospace industries, InspectionWorks Connect allows inspectors and remote experts to collaborate in real-time with on-device software.

GE
Measurement & Control
With a limited number of experts available, having
them on site isn’t always a possibility. Bring the
inspection to the expert, expanding the number of
inspections they’re able to participate in and
reducing the number of personnel required on
site.
OUTCOMES
INCREASED
PRODUCTIVITY
SMARTER,
FASTER DECISIONS
Why wait to disposition an asset? Utilizing the
real time connection from the NDT instrument,
make decisions live, brining your asset back
online quicker, reducing total inspection time by
more than 10%.
INCREASED
ASSET UPTIME
Training and maintaining an experienced
inspection team can be costly. Real time
collaboration on the job site allows many
participants in an inspection, providing a platform
for training a global team.
