About
Join Aerospace Testing International on October 12, 2023 for a roundtable webinar that will focus on the vital aspects of inspection and measurement in aerospace and aviation.

The event will provide valuable insights into the latest technologies and emerging trends impacting metrology end users across the testing, production and maintenance domains.

Join us as we explore the crucial role of quality inspection and maintenance technologies and processes in ensuring the continued reliability and efficiency of aerospace systems with a panel of key suppliers and leading experts.

Starting with an overview of quality inspection, attendees will be able to interact with panel members as we discuss topics such as robotics, AI and machine learning, data storage and use, visual inspection, digital twins, IoT and many other advances in areas such as R&D, manufacturing and and maintenance.
