DIMATE PACS
As vendor-independent platform for inspection data management, DIMATE PACS digitalizes and optimizes inspection workflows, improves integrity management and increases assetavailability, resulting in cost savings and increased safety.
Secure access and revision-proof storage of data in the system ensures the reliable exchange of NDT images and reports with experts, inspectors and authorities.
DIMATE PACS automates the exchange of inspection orders, images and results between different systems, avoiding media discontinuities such as Excel lists, USB sticks or paper reports.
The central data storage acts as a structured NDT database that allows quick access to current and historical inspection data.
DIMATE PACS accelerates NDT inspection processes and makes (measurement) results directly available to all decision-makers and inspection systems, saving an average of 20%–70% of working time for parties involved.
Plant operators, engineers and inspectors can quickly assess the condition of plant and equipment and identify defects before an unexpected failure occurs.
DIMATE PACS is a standardized, vendor-neutral and compatible data source for AI applications, resulting in more precise defect detection and the creation of accurate digital twins.
Drive digital transformation with a reliable NDE data pool that is accessible to intelligent systems.
Advanced encryption methods safeguard data during transmission, while user and rights management ensures that only authorized personnel can access critical information.
Regular security updates and audits further enhance the system’s resilience against potential threats, making it a reliable choice for maintaining the integrity and confidentiality of inspection data.
The basis for a safe and secure investment in the DIMATE PACS
DIMATE PACS integrates with AI to enhance inspection processes through automatic error detection and higher data integrity. AI solutions in DIMATE PACS can recognize components, assign inspection instructions, and provide reliable analysis of NDT data.

The implementation of DIMATE’s proven 8-step approach can vary. With proper planning and guidance, it can be implemented in just a couple of months, showing results with proven ROI within 6 months.
We offer professional training and education to ensure the correct use of DIMATE PACS, which is essential for a successful implementation and the introduction of a paperless inspection process.
DIMATE provides continuous support, regular updates, and close collaboration to ensure the system evolves with customer requirements. The company’s expertise in digital transformation and commitment to innovation makes it a reliable partner for both current and future inspection challenges.
PACS stands for Picture Archiving and Communication System. It provides an end-to-end workflow solution that stores and structures NDT data with valid annotations for corporate companies. PACS is highly effective and efficient for industries such as Oil & Gas, Chemical, Energy, and Aerospace.
DIMATE PACS digitizes and centralizes all inspection data, including images, reports, and results, from various non-destructive testing (NDT) methods (such as RT, UT, VT) into a single, structured database. This eliminates manual data handling, reduces errors, and allows for automated workflows, making it easy to retrieve, analyze, and securely archive inspection data. The system supports seamless data exchange between inspection management, testing devices, and service contractors, ensuring a complete digital workflow without disruptive media breaks (e.g., no more Excel lists, USB sticks, or paper reports).
Yes, DIMATE PACS includes modules for automated analysis and enrichment of inspection data using advanced algorithms and artificial intelligence. This enables features like automatic defect detection, higher data integrity, and customizable levels of automation for data analysis, depending on customer needs.
Yes, historic measurement data can be added.
Yes, DIMATE PACS is equipment- and manufacturer-independent. DIMATE PACS can be integrated with various test devices and existing asset performance management (APM) or inspection data management systems (IDMS) various systems, including ERP, RBI, and other digital tools used in the industry. Data is standardized using the open, internationally recognized DICONDE format, ensuring interoperability and long-term data integrity across different vendors and systems.
Companies that are not fully digitized have 10-20% errors in their inspection reports. Although DIMATE cannot promise 0% errors due to manual actions, PACS significantly improves data validity and can reduce errors to less than 2%.
Take 100 randomly selected test reports and check them for correct equipment and order numbers and correct measurements. You will find that 10-20% of the data is incorrect. Our customers have found this in eight pilot projects alone.
Companies using DIMATE PACS have reported significant efficiency gains, including:
DIMATE PACS helps organizations meet compliance regulations by providing reproducible, accurate and timely data for inspections and audits. DIMATE PACS provides a traceable, digital life file for each asset, capturing all inspection data and changes over time. This enables better monitoring of component integrity (e.g., corrosion tracking), supports risk-based inspection (RBI) processes, and ensures compliance with industry standards and regulatory requirements. Quality-assured inspection data can be easily transmitted to RBI systems and accessed for audits or reporting.
DIMATE PACS improves asset integrity by providing AI-powered NDT image evaluation and end-to-end digital inspection processes. By providing reliable and timely data, it enables better decisions and reduces the risk of unplanned shutdowns.
DIMATE PACS ensures secure archiving and controlled access to all inspection data. Only authorized users can access or distribute sensitive information, and all actions are traceable within the system, supporting data protection and audit requirements.
Yes it is, PACS can work with Excel sheets effectively. It allows for the import and export of data, ensuring compatibility with existing inspection workflows.
Yes, PACS helps you achieve end-to-end digital inspection processes that are 100% paperless.
Working with DIMATE PACS saves time and money, shortens turnaround times and eliminates risks such as unplanned shutdowns. The ROI for PACS is significant: with 2,000 hours less spent on integrity checks of CML data annually, $2-3M savings per turnaround, cost reduction of $600K or more per year for on-stream inspections.The payback period is 6 to 12 months, depending on the inspection and turnaround efforts, which can be reduced by several days with DIMATE PACS. We start with a solid business model and a pilot project for a customized amortization calculation. Ask our consultants for more information.
DIMATE's solutions support full compliance with industry standards and regulations by implementing robust cybersecurity measures and adhering to best practices for data integrity and protection.
DIMATE PACS is fully DICONDE compliant (ASTM Standard E2339) and includes features such as data encryption, access control, and continuous monitoring to ensure data security and integrity.
DIMATE PACS helps organizations comply with regulations by providing reproducible, accurate and timely data for inspections and audits.
DIMATE PACS is designed to be an independent system that can operate seamlessly with other digital tools and systems in the chemical industry. This is due to the fact that DIMATE PACS is based on the DICONDE standard: a vendor-neutral format that readily enables digitalized image transfer, storage and display of NDT data.
DIMATE uses DICONDE, a standardized report format for compatibility and long-term access. This ensures data can be reviewed even if hardware/software changes over time.
