D-Tect X and the new paradigm in digital industrial inspection
As part of the ASNT 2025 event, Mike Corbett, sales engineer at DÜRR NDT, shared his company's vision and approach to the new challenges of nondestructive inspection. During the interview, he addressed from developments in artificial intelligence to environmental commitments, making clear the company's strategy, total control over its technology and active collaboration with high impact sectors.
The commitment to digitalization
DÜRR NDT is a German company specialized in digital X-ray inspection systems for non-destructive testing. Founded in 2006 and with a presence in more than 100 countries, it is part of the
The company's in-house development model allows it to tailor its solutions for each customer. The case of D-Tect X is representative; this image acquisition software was created entirely by DÜRR NDT's in-house team, guaranteeing technological independence and customization capabilities without resorting to third parties.
D-Tect X: the digital heart of DÜRR NDT
D-Tect X is not only a radiographic image acquisition tool, it is the pillar on which many of the company's current innovations are built. Thanks to its in-house development, it allows functions to be incorporated on demand according to the requirements of demanding customers. One of the most striking examples is that of the company VAST, which is working on a space station with artificial gravity.
With VAST, the company collaborates in the development of two specific tools to improve inspection processes within the space project, demonstrating the versatility of the software, and the level of trust it generates among highly regulated industries.
AI as a key tool in NDT
D-Tect X integrates advanced functions based on artificial intelligence that are already operational. Among them is the
D-Tect X will soon incorporate the ADR (assistive defect recognition) module, which will identify discontinuities, measure lengths and volumes, and assist the technician in interpreting results. This functionality is being trained with data from automotive manufacturers to detect defects in castings, further extending the scope of the software.
High-level collaborations: from the automotive industry to space
D-Tect X 's adaptability has made it possible for the German entity to collaborate with companies from a wide range of sectors, from automobile manufacturers to players in the space industry. The case of VAST stands out not only because of the technical complexity of the project, but also because of the trust placed in the development team.
This type of collaboration reinforces the company's role as a technology partner rather than a mere supplier, building solutions that respond to the real needs of the most demanding sectors.
Vision projected from ASNT 2025
The interview with Mike Corbett at ASNT 2025 confirms that the commitment of DÜRR NDT to digitalization is not just about adopting technology, but about creating and adapting it. With D-Tect X at the center of its strategy and a clear vision on the application of artificial intelligence, the German company is positioning itself as a benchmark in the digital industrial inspection sector.
