In industry, AI is the buzzword. And rightly so: in many areas AI is not only driving efficiencies but transforming ways of working. Also, in the field of non-destructive testing (NDT) AI is a transformational powerhouse.

With rising data complexity and volumes, NDT professionals need more than just storage; they need intelligent systems that power automation, pattern recognition, and faster decision-making.

But to be able to maximize the value of AI solutions a solid NDT data foundation is essential. And that’s exactly where DIMATE PACS comes in: as invaluable addition to your AIM system.

DIMATE PACS is the missing link: turning your AIM system into a foundation for AI-driven success. Here’s 5 ways how:

 

1. Build a rock-solid data foundation

Why structured data is the fuel for AI success

AI only works as well as the data it’s given. DIMATE PACS ensures your NDT data is complete, standardized and structured – delivering consistent quality that meets international compliance standards. This gives AI models the input they need to perform reliably. As the No Data, No AI paper shows: poor input equals poor output. Thanks to multiple quality gates, NDT data and images are transformed into accurate, complete, and dependable assets – unlocking their full value as a gold mine for AI.

2. Unlock hidden value in historical archives

Transform decades of inspection data into AI gold

AI requires data: loads of it. Not only current data, but historical data also. Such data is the basis of the most powerful AI models. DIMATE PACS provides access to decades of inspection histories, which often lie dormant in analog or unstructured archives.

These archives can include annotated radiographic images, UT signal data, photos, videos and PDF inspection reports that would otherwise remain unusable.

DIMATE PACS digitizes and structures analog or legacy data – such as annotated X-rays or UT signals – making it usable for AI. This rich historical data helps train AI to spot long-term trends and degradation patterns for predictive maintenance.

 

3. Seamless integration

Easy connect with your AIM and ERP systems

Whether AI is used for NDT fault detection or computes input for predictive maintenance or risk analysis, DIMATE PACS is can be easily integrated into existing AIM and ERP systems and modern AI workflows.

With DIMATE PACS, AI-driven NDT workflows can be seamlessly connected to leading asset integrity management systems, through standardized interfaces and open APIs. This avoids vendor lock-in and maximizes flexibility for operators who rely on multiple vendors and systems.

About DIMATE PACS – revolutionizing NDT with AI

DIMATE PACS automated by AI is a system for archiving, managing, and providing structured access to inspection data – purpose-built for non-destructive testing.

The system digitizes, centralizes, and intelligently structures data from various sources including radiography, ultrasound, or visual inspections. By creating a unified, AI-ready data environment, DIMATE PACS enables faster decision-making, stronger compliance, and seamless integration into your existing AIM or IDMS workflows.

Whether you're aiming to modernize legacy archives or prepare for AI-driven applications, DIMATE PACS equips your organization with the digital backbone needed for next-generation NDT.

4. Compliance you can count on

Ensure traceability and security in regulated environments

For highly regulated industries, such as oil & gas refineries, chemical- and energy plants and aerospace, DIMATE PACS supports compliance: enabling your AI-powered decisions to meet global standards and making them fully traceable.

 

5. Future-proof and flexible

Scale with evolving AI technologies

AI is evolving rapidly – and DIMATE PACS is ready. Its modular design means you can continuously integrate new AI models and NDT applications, ensuring your digital transformation journey is future-ready.

DIMATE PACS: The foundation for AI-driven NDT

To truly unlock the potential of AI in non-destructive testing, you need more than algorithms – you need a reliable, intelligent data infrastructure.

DIMATE PACS enhances your AIM system by securely managing raw, high-resolution inspection data and transforming it into structured, AI-ready information. It ensures that your data is complete, compliant, and consistent – exactly what AI needs to deliver meaningful results.

Without a system like DIMATE PACS, companies risk feeding AI with inadequate or poor-quality data – undermining the entire project before it even begins.

With DIMATE PACS, your AIM system becomes a powerful platform for AI integration: robust, future-ready, and fully aligned with the demands of modern NDT workflows.

AI isn’t a magic layer – it’s only as good as the data it’s built on.
