Under this year’s theme, “Together We Lead,” the conference focused on knowledge sharing, the presentation of new technologies, and the continued advancement of the industry.
Over the course of four days, participants from industry, research, and inspection services exchanged ideas on the latest developments in NDT. Technical presentations, panel discussions, and conversations on the exhibition floor provided insights into new applications, practical field experiences, and emerging industry challenges. Particular attention was given to modern ultrasonic testing methods and their use across a wide range of industrial applications.
At the SONOTEC booth, discussions focused on the requirements of modern inspection tasks, ultrasonic sensor technology, and various solutions for nondestructive testing.
