Wherever a hidden flaw can't be an option.
SDI is dedicated to optimizing customer profitability with automated NDT systems built for high reliability, exceptional performance, and the lowest overall cost of ownership — not adapted from a one-size-fits-all platform.
Airframe & composite structures
In the aerospace industry, effective NDT can mean the difference between life and death. Aircraft components are inspected before assembly and periodically throughout their service life — the vast majority of aerospace parts are not allowed to pass quality assurance without a variety of NDT procedures.
Aircraft components are designed to carry very high loads relative to their material strength, so small flaws can cause failure. SDI's systems are designed to find that damage while it's still within acceptable limits — supporting engine part production, composite airframe manufacturing, and full aircraft maintenance to worldwide OEM specifications.

High-volume Tier 1 & Tier 2 production
SDI specializes in producing custom NDT systems for the automotive industry, including inspection of turbines, axles, and pistons, with the high throughput and demanding inspection requirements needed to meet automotive gauge R&R acceptance levels. Lightweight, high-strength alloys are now standard in structural components — and they need to be checked at production speed.

Pipeline & pressure-vessel integrity
SDI systems are used in hundreds of applications across the oil & gas industry — whether inspecting boilers, condensers, gas turbines, or pipelines, our products help protect assets against corrosion and leakage and extend the life of the plant. Even in the harshest environments, SDI's inspection systems boost productivity and improve safety.

Turbine & heavy-component reliability
The power industry is continually challenged to improve efficiency, runtime, and output. SDI provides solutions for key power generation applications across fossil, nuclear, and renewable energy markets — where a missed flaw in a turbine blade or rotor means catastrophic failure, not a warranty claim.
Tower systems for large components →
Rail, marine & heavy transport
SDI's team works hard to deliver high-quality products that detect corrosion and inspect welds at every stage of assembling vehicles and trains — from semi-finished products up through final assembly. Structural metals in rail and heavy transport applications face fatigue and load conditions that demand rigorous, repeatable inspection over the life of the component.
