DRIVE NDT enables DEKRA to increase its efficiency with digital NDT workflow management

BIETIGHEIM-BISSINGEN, Germany - March 2, 2023 - PRLog -- DEKRA has approximately 48,000 employees and ranks as one of the foremost testing companies worldwide. A pioneering team is introducing the innovative DRIVE NDT to organize non-destructive testing and its peripheral processes at the BAYERNOIL site in Neustadt.

Benjamin Kleemann of the technical staff at DEKRA Incos GmbH sees digitization as a basic prere­quisite for the future competitiveness of a company involved in NDT. In his opinion, digital processes and their design will become indispensable for customers as an evaluation standard.

"We want to be able to monitor and manage our orders and all inspections. It is important for us to always have a precise overview of all pending inspections and their current status, enabling us to take action when needed," explains Kleemann. DEKRA Incos expects clear advantages from the use of the DRIVE NDT workflow and management platform, compared to the previous way of working and to the competition in the NDT sector. "With centralized management of all inspections and their accompanying processes, we are constantly able to keep our customers informed and can react much faster when necessary. This gives us and our customers a noticeable added value and improves our overall service."

In addition to the centralized management of workflow, the individual processes are guided by DRIVE NDT: As well as the management of inspection staff, including their certifications, the devices and testing equipment are also managed within DRIVE NDT. "Presently, we use DRIVE NDT for the management and generation of reports for RT, PT, UT, PMI, VT and HT.

Kleemann describes his experience so far as consistently positive with DRIVE NDT and the most significant improvement to date is seen in the generation of test reports. He states that since the introduction of DRIVE NDT, the reports have been generated practically without error. Kleemann estimates the decrease in errors to be around 90-99%. If subsequent changes do occur, the revision reliability of the reports is supported in DRIVE NDT by automatic revisioning. It is also foreseeable that the amount of paper used will decrease to almost zero in the future.

DEKRA Incos sees a major advantage in the flexibility of DRIVE NDT and the simple and intuitive nature of the software. Kleemann is impressed by its user-friendliness, especially for users who do not have an affinity with software, and this will significantly reduce the time required in training and instruction. Moreover, with AAP NDT and DÜRR NDT GmbH & Co. KG working closely together it means that the platform can be optimally adapted to the needs of the company.

DRIVE NDT provides an almost unrivaled solution in its field, thus offering DEKRA Incos the competitive advantages of tomorrow today.
