Up to 90% of Visual Testing (VT) inspections are carried out without proper image or video storage. Resulting in incomplete data sets and unreliable records. Without full, consistent documentation, informed maintenance decisions become nearly impossible. DIMATE Advanced VT changes that.
Our solution automatically links visual data – photos, videos, drone footage, and more – to the correct assets and components, creating a fully digital, traceable, and compliant VT inspection process.
Forget paper forms and scattered Excel files. DIMATE Advanced VT delivers a streamlined, end-to-end workflow with accurate, organized, and always-accessible data – so you can make faster, smarter decisions.
How DIMATE Advanced VT transforms NDT inspection workflows
DIMATE Advanced VT digitizes the complete visual testing process – capturing, tagging, storing, and evaluating inspection data with speed and accuracy.
No more lost reports, manual errors, or scattered data. Photos, videos and drone footage are instantly linked to the right component data, giving you full traceability and easy access across your team.
Capture. Assign. Retrieve. Evaluate.
Everything you need for smarter, faster, and more reliable VT inspections – all in one solution.
Enhanced accuracy for critical assets
VT inspection orders, including component IDs are linked to visual data like photos or drone footage.
Optimized performance
Get the most out of your NDT inspections: the DIMATE Viewer allows users to easily retrieve, view, and compare historical and current VT, RT and UT data side by side.
Integration with asset management
Remote evaluations or second opinions can be conducted directly through the platform.
Improved compliance and traceability
All data is securely stored in the DIMATE PACS using the DICONDE-IT format (ASTM E2339) for vendor-neutral archiving.
The future is already here with the DIMATE VT Photo App
Make your VT inspection data readily available for AI with the DIMATE VT Photo App. Do away with manual processes or files on hard disks. VT photo planning is done via the Inspection Data Management System (IDMS) and sent to the DIMATE Photo App, which works both online and offline.
Full job overview at a glance
In the app, users see all planned inspection jobs in one place. Create orders manually or sync with systems like ERP, RBI, or inspection management systems.
Photo in sync with component data
Inspection photos are automatically linked to planned orders or components on-site. Ad hoc images can later be assigned to the correct component IDs or data by querying the inspection management system.
Secure data access – anywhere
Data automatically saved to and sorted to other component data in DIMATE PACS. Contractors with access control can view visual inspections and all related asset data instantly.

Get DIMATE solutions as add-ons to DIMATE PACS.
A vendor-independent platform for NDT data management
Digitalizes and optimizes inspection workflows, improves integrity management and increases asset availability, resulting in cost savings and increased safety.
It is an extension of DIMATE PACS which standardizes, structures and integrates VT inspection data into a fully automated inspection workflow.
No, all DIMATE solutions are compliant with the international and vendor-neutral DICONDE IT standard and all data can be read and processed by compliant systems.
DIMATE Advanced VT ensures maximum precision and data integrity thanks to its key features:
Elimination of human error: a digital worklist and automated component assignment to captured data eliminates the risk of manual input mistakes
Side-by-side comparison: view historical data alongside current images or videos for quick and efficient analysis
Seamless integration with IDMS: a notification is sent to the IDMS as soon as new VT data becomes available
We require approximately 30 project days to release the solution in a tailor-made solution that fits all your needs.
DIMATE Advanced VT uses DICONDE, a standardized IT format for compatibility and long-term access. This ensures data can be reviewed even if hardware/software changes over time.
One of the biggest challenges for plant operators is that VT data - often stored on hard disks - is not easily retrievable. To be able to use data to train AI, such data needs to be structured and annotated. DIMATE Advanced VT assigns visual data to the correct component or asset. Such data is structured and annotated in DIMATE PACS in such a way that it is AI proof.
Annotations are additional information and make photos even more valuable for better decisions. In addition, annotations are important for training AI solutions, because AI needs to know what is wrong or incorrect.
Yes, it is. All visual data is transferred securely and reliably to DIMATE PACS, where it can be found and viewed at any time and from anywhere.
