The Influence of Location on Customer Connectivity
Mike Lange shares how Houston’s location, in the heart of the oil and gas industry, facilitates direct and meaningful interaction with customers. The proximity to refineries and ease of access to the event allows Mistras Group to efficiently showcase its products and capabilities to a key audience.
The Drone Revolution in Inspections
Omar Hasan introduces the group’s “latest and greatest” drone, designed to measure ultrasonic thickness at heights. By reducing scaffolding costs and speeding up inspections, especially in confined spaces, Mistras Group demonstrates its commitment to efficiency and safety.
Global Reach and Unique Products
Mike emphasizes that there are no geographical limits to its solutions. With successful projects in Europe and the distinction of having unique products such as the marine tracker, they underline their global presence and unique offering in the market.
ASNT’s Futuristic Vision
Looking to the future, Mike anticipates an even greater digital transformation within the NDT industry. With the advent of NDT 4.0 and digitization, “conferences like these promise to be even more connected and technologically advanced.“
