IW © Automate improves your inspection automation while your approved and certified NDT process stays unaltered. Auditors see the same process, and your automation technicians can still make changes when they need to.

Database-Driven Management

Create parts, regions, and programs, define scan parameters, and track every inspection and calibration from one database. User accounts and access levels let you track each user's inspections and control which actions each person can perform.

Standardized Communication

Automate communicates with PLCs and third-party software over OPC-UA, ZMQ, and other protocols. A trigger latch handshake keeps timing correct without adding artificial delays.

Inspection Control and Scan Planning

A built-in state machine runs the inspection loop, and you can define custom states with required parameters so the system can't skip a step. Scan planning tools generate contours for axisymmetric scans from stored parameters and sequence multiple scans to reduce downtime.

Integration with IW © Scan and IW © Evaluate

Automate controls data collection in Scan, starting and stopping scans, saving data files, and naming them in the format you choose. With Evaluate, it receives calibration validation for each data file, tracks back to flaw positions, and can trigger a rescan.
