DIMATE Advanced RT dramatically improves NDT inspection workflows, automating data capture and analysis, reducing human error, and delivering faster, more accurate inspection results.
DIMATE Advanced RT
Digitalizing radiographic testing processes
Our software digitizes your RT inspection processes and replaces paper-based processes with fully digital, error-free workflows. Get highly accurate wall thickness measurements, correct component assignments, and consistent, compliant data – every time. Spend less time checking reports and more time running a safe, efficient plant.
How DIMATE Advanced RT transforms NDT inspection workflows
Enhanced accuracy for critical assets
All measurements are carried out in line with your instruction catalogue. Highly precise wall thickness measurements improve defect detection, crucial in minimizing asset downtime.
Optimized performance
Reduce the risk of errors that can arise from manual or traditional methods. Accurate component assignment and precise measurements allow for better tracking of asset degradation over time.
Cost savings
High data integrity and accuracy means significant time and cost savings reviewing reports. It also means more targeted repairs and replacements, preventing unnecessary expenditures on maintenance and extending the life of assets.
Integration with asset management
Inspection data is linked directly to your IDMS enabling trend analysis, condition-based monitoring, and smarter maintenance planning.
Improved compliance and traceability
Reproducible NDT data ensures full traceability for audits and compliance with legal requirements.

FAQ
DIMATE Advanced RT is an extension to DIMATE PACS and integrates RT inspection data into a fully automated inspection workflow.
No, all DIMATE systems are compliant with the international and vendor-neutral DICONDE IT standard (ASTM E2339). NDT data and evaluations are stored as DICONDE files and can be read and processed by compliant systems.
DIMATE Advanced RT ensures maximum precision and data integrity through the following key features:
- Elimination of human error: fully automated wall thickness evaluations remove the risk of manual input mistakes.
- High-precision measurements: achieves accuracy in the µm range, enabling reliable inspection results.
- Automated measurement placement: ensures measurements are placed exactly where specified, in accordance with your instruction catalogue.
- Side-by-side comparison: view all historical images and data alongside current results for fast and effective analysis.
- Seamless integration with your IDMS: all measurements are automatically and securely pushed to your Inspection Data Management System (IDMS) at TML level, preserving data integrity and traceability.
We require approximately 30 project days to release the solution in a tailor-made solution that fits all your needs.
High data integrity and accuracy saves inspectors 2.500 hours and more annually spent on integrity checks of reports. More precise measurements and better data availability enable predictive maintenance and less downtime, adding up to cost savings of $2-3M per turnaround, and a cost reduction of $800K or more per year for on-stream inspections.
DIMATE Advanced RT empowers contractors with a fast, accurate, and compliant inspection process thanks to:
- Full compliance: performs inspections in strict alignment with the plant operator’s instruction catalogue.
- Automated workflow - eliminates human errors and reduces RT image evaluation as well as reporting time through fully automated processes.
- Confident component tracking: ensures every image is automatically assigned to the correct component, removing guesswork.
- One-click measurement assignment: assigns all measurements from an image directly to the correct measuring grid with a single click.
- Seamless IDMS integration : automatically pushes data to the correct TML level in the plant operator’s Inspection Data Management System.
- Effortless degradation tracking: easily identifies trends and reports signs of asset degradation for proactive maintenance.
