Non-Destructive Examination (NDE) for complex geometries

A0399

Preparation for inspections is complex, time-consuming and costly as the environment is not easy to model. Framatome has developed a software that could easily define robot trajectories to adapt our inspections at nuclear sites. Smart Trajectory is a unique, versatile and easy-to-use NDE system for complex geometries inspections. It combines robotic, sensors and acquisition & processing software and reduces operations costs & time, while improving results accuracy.
