Software offers single workflow for
all stages of a non-destructive testing
program for the first time
a software solution developed by DÜRR
NDT called Drive NDT is for the first time
letting test engineers unify the entire
NDT workflow, including all test procedures in
a single system. Drive NDT covers all parts of
the workflow – from order entry, the
assignment of inspectors, equipment,
instructions and standards, to test report
generation, approval and archiving. In
addition, centralized administration permits
the targeted control of all workflows and
provides an overview of the status of all
inspection orders in real-time.
Drive NDT is a web-based application. This
means it can be used on any tablet or
smartphone, allowing users to access it
anytime, anywhere, and be constantly up-todate.
A glance at the DRIVE NDT dashboard
is all it takes to be completely informed
about the current overall status and any
upcoming tasks.
With Drive NDT, individual test reports for
all NDT methods can be easily created and
managed. The automatic import of order and
test data including from external applications
and devices, facilitates order creation and
avoids any transcription errors. All test
reports can be viewed and edited by
authorized inspectors, anytime,
anywhere. Every change is logged and
the revision status of the report is
automatically updated. The integrated
revision management and the seamless
and transparent process chain ensure
comprehensible results and peace of
mind during internal and external audits.
In addition, end-customers gain
confidence in the test results and
product quality.
Test objects can be effortlessly set up
in Drive NDT. For example, pipelines in
refineries including their isometry,
pressure vessels or turbine blades along with
their drawings can be included. A new order
can be created from these test objects with
just one click – all necessary customer
specifications, test instructions and
standards are already assigned to the test
object and pre-configured. Furthermore,
documents of all kinds can be added and
managed for inspections and orders in Drive
NDT, as well as allocated to individual
inspections and inspectors.
Drive NDT can also be used to easily
manage everything related to NDT personnel.
For example, the availability of employees and
their assignment to orders, as well as
management of certificates, radiation doses
and medical examination appointments.
Another powerful feature is equipment
management, which can be used to monitor
inspection devices and consumables such as
whether a device is available, where it is

located, and when the next maintenance or
calibration operation needs to be performed.
Support is provided by automatic system
notifications for events related to inspection
orders, as well as medical checkups due,
recertification of personnel, maintenance of
equipment, and process monitoring of
workstations. You can also set up appropriate
lead times and send additional email
notifications which can be extremely helpful
in hectic workday situations.
Furthermore, Drive NDT has been designed
so that it is possible for this data to be
evaluated however you like, thus providing an
ideal platform to support statistical
evaluations such as predictive maintenance.
Drive NDT is the key to digitization of the
entire NDT workflow and provides
unprecedented transparency. In addition
most importantly it facilitates enormous
increases in efficiency. \\
