Non-destructive testing.For stable production processes.
NPB NDT Consulting combines inspection technology, technical project engineering and industrial implementation. We support you from defining your inspection task and integrating automated inspection processes through to system ramp-up.
A good inspection solution fits the component – and the process.
Material, geometry, quality requirements and the production sequence must be considered together. We help you translate these requirements into a traceable inspection concept and coordinate implementation between quality, production, engineering and equipment suppliers.
Technical clarity
Define requirements and responsibilities in an understandable way.
Suitable inspection processes
Match methods and procedures to the specific task.
Traceable results
Assign inspection documents and data in a structured way.
Practical implementation
Consider ramp-up, operation and production conditions together.
Services
From inspection requirement to a workable solution.
Inspection concepts and requirements analysis
We structure inspection tasks and help assess suitable methods, inspection extent and evidence.

Automation
Automation starts with a robust inspection concept.
An automated inspection system has to do more than move components and acquire signals. What matters is suitable inspection technology, traceable evaluation, controlled procedures and integration into your production. NPB helps you bring these requirements together and coordinate implementation with the departments involved.
