What if aircraft Eddy Current inspections could be performed remotely — without compromising quality or compliance?
In one of our recent case studies, IMITec performed a remote-controlled ET inspection on fuselage damage located near the cargo door area of an aircraft.
Damage at the fuselage skin (cargo door area):
- A 146 mm dent
- Sharp linear edges
- Previously documented structural damage (dent)
Using our Remote-Controlled NDT system, the entire damage area was scanned remotely by a qualified NDT Level 2 inspector while the operator only installed the rail system and device locally.
The system automatically generated:
- Eddy Current impedance analysis
- High-resolution C-Scans
- Color-coded dent depth mapping
Most importantly:
The remote inspection results were cross-checked with conventional manual ET inspections according to Boeing NDT procedures — with matching results.
Remote NDT is no longer just an idea.
It is becoming a practical solution for faster aircraft inspections, reduced travel costs, and increased flexibility for operators worldwide.
