The global shortage of qualified NDT inspectors is straining aerospace manufacturing and maintenance, leading to delays and increased costs. Testia’s Smart UE1 addresses these challenges as a portable, multi-method inspection tool. It integrates ultrasonic (UT), eddy current (ET), and resonance testing into a single, ruggedized device, reducing the need for multiple instruments.
The Smart UE1 supports both non-certified NDT operators – who can perform basic tasks like clad detection or thickness measurement through direct reading applications – and certified experts, who utilize advanced flaw detection and analysis. Its design features a tablet PC platform with glove-friendly touchscreens and extensive connectivity. By streamlining workflows and optimizing labor usage, the Smart UE1 improves production efficiency, lowers operational costs, and supports inspection throughout the entire aircraft lifecycle. It is referenced in over 185 NTM procedures for Airbus aircraft.
