In the defense and civilian aerospace industries, wire harnesses are liberally employed in aircraft fuselages, avionics, engines, ground support equipment, and other products.
According to a new report of "Nondestructive Testing Market by Application, Technology, End user, & Geography - Forecast & Analysis 2014-2020" published by MarketsandMarkets, the market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 3.5% to reach $1720.96 Million by 2020.
When it comes to ensuring that defects in welds are detected in an assembly line, nondestructive testing (NDT) is an essential tool. Without a means of assessing potential errors in welds, welding would be risky business.
Faced with the same basic challenges of the medical industry—how to quickly and reliably store, retrieve and share images—the NDT industry was able to adopt some of the same technologies.
Driven by immense pressure to improve productivity and reduce costs, the medical industry has transitioned to digital imaging and archiving over the past two decades. Seeing the benefits of this digital transition, other industries are now following suit, leveraging the technology pioneered and proven by the highly regulated medical imaging industry.
Automotive manufacturing quality demands continue to increase along with pressure to further reduce costs, especially for critical components and systems that require leak testing.
TA Instruments announced the acquisition of Expert System Solutions, ESS (Modena, Italy). ESS is a privately held company that designs and manufactures innovative non-contact optical thermal analysis instrumentation.
