Use Case
In Energy and Utilities, Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) is essential for inspecting infrastructure like pipelines, power plants, and electrical grids to detect flaws such as corrosion or cracks without halting operations. Traditional NDT methods can be time-consuming, error-prone, and reliant on specialized expertise, leading to costly downtime. AVATAR developed an Augmented Reality (AR) NDT solution that combines a digital twin of the Olympus Nortec 600 device with AI and IoT technologies. This system allows inspectors, students, and instructors to perform inspections more accurately and efficiently, using AR visual cues and step-by-step guidance. The digital twin simulates real-time instructions and sensor data, streamlining the workflow, while AI automatically recognizes inspection points, improving detection speed and precision. Integrated IoT technology enables the system to photograph and classify each inspection point as pass or fail, automatically recording results and generating a comprehensive report. By using a single device, the HoloLens, inspectors can control equipment, monitor sensor data, and document findings hands-free, significantly reducing inspection time. AVATAR’s AR solution increases accuracy, reduces training time, and minimizes downtime, ultimately enhancing the safety and reliability of critical energy infrastructure.
