automotive industry

Following the invention of the automobile by Carl Benz in 1885 and, in particular, the development of mass production by Henry Ford, automotive engineering has become the most important branch of industry in many countries.

As in the aviation industry, environmental compatibility and increasing efficiency by reducing weight are the main challenges for new developments.

The NDT minimises the risk at the expense of safety. Increasingly fast, high-resolution inspection systems provide material properties that can be identified down to the smallest detail, not only for troubleshooting but also for process optimisation.
