TO REVOLUTIONIZE
NDT WITH AI-DRIVEN
TECHNOLOGIES
Applus+, a global leader in the testing,
inspection, and certification sector,
entered into a strategic partnership
with Abyss Solutions, a pioneering
provider of artificial intelligence (AI)
and machine-learning solutions for
inspection and maintenance. This collab-
oration, announced last December,
represents a significant step forward in
advancing nondestructive testing (NDT)
through the integration of AI-driven
technologies.
By combining the extensive NDT
expertise of Applus+ with the AI algo-
rithms and software platforms of Abyss
Solutions, the goal is to revolutionize
asset inspection processes, enabling
faster, more accurate, and data-driven
decision-making.
“We are excited to partner with Abyss
Solutions to unlock the full potential of
artificial intelligence within inspection
and testing,” said Adam Alessandrino,
Executive Vice President of the Pacific
Region at Applus+, which is headquar-
tered in Spain and operates in over
70 countries. “By integrating AI-driven
technologies into our processes, we are
uniquely positioned to enhance effi-
ciency, reliability, and safety while deliv-
ering unmatched value to our clients.”
The two companies will collaborate on
developing AI-powered inspection solu-
tions designed to enable predictive main-
tenance, optimize asset performance,
and mitigate risks across industries such
as oil and gas, mining, manufacturing,
and infrastructure throughout the Pacific
and Southeast Asia.
“This partnership leads a disruption
in the inspection industry, addressing
challenges like workforce shortages and
redefining what’s possible,” said Gary Hill,
Regional Director at Abyss Solutions.
TRIGO ADR PARTNERS
WITH NDT SOLUTIONS
AND NDE LABS
TRIGO Aerospace, Defense, and Rail
(ADR) Americas, the American subsid-
iary of TRIGO Group, announced in
November a strategic partnership with
NDT Solutions and NDE Labs (New
Richmond, WI, and Benbrook, TX). This
collaboration enhances TRIGO’s portfolio
by integrating advanced nondestructive
testing and evaluation (NDT/E) capabili-
ties to meet North America’s critical infra-
structure needs.
Through this partnership, TRIGO
gains access to NDT Solutions’ technolo-
gies and NDE Labs’ expertise in testing
components for aerospace, defense,
and space exploration. This positions
TRIGO as a comprehensive provider of
quality management solutions, offering
training, consulting, auditing, onsite
inspections, and sophisticated testing to
ensure lifecycle reliability and compliance
in industries where material integrity is
paramount.
Demand for advanced NDT services
is rising due to stricter safety standards
and regulations. Valued at US$3.7 billion
in 2023, the global NDT market is
projected to grow nearly 6% annually
through 2028, reflecting the need for
reliable, noninvasive testing. By incor-
porating NDT, TRIGO helps clients miti-
gate risks and ensures consistent supply
chain quality.
“Our partnership with NDT Solutions
and NDE Labs significantly strengthens
our position in aerospace, defense, and
rail sectors,” said Steffen Spell, President
of TRIGO ADR Americas. “This collabo-
ration enhances our capabilities, drives
innovation, and allows us to deliver supe-
rior quality solutions.”
The collaboration also aims to increase
the number of audits conducted,
ensuring suppliers meet rigorous stan-
dards across all production and opera-
tional stages.
For NDT Solutions, the partnership
provides greater visibility and access to
TRIGO’s commercial network, opening
new markets and expanding its impact.
“This collaboration unites the best of
NDT expertise and technology, setting
a new industry standard with unparal-
leled capabilities and advancements,”
said Larry Culbertson, COO of NDT
Solutions.
