Know the Company around you...

Olympus is a leading manufacturer of NDT equipment with products including conventional and phased array �aw detectors, X-ray �uorescence (XRF) analyzers, industrial microscopes, and remote visual inspection (RVI) videoscopes. Our customers rely on us to provide them with comprehensive inspection solutions to help them solve di�cult challenges.

Kim Hayes ( BDM- Olympus IMS )

Olympus Scienti�c Solutions Americas

My role at Olympus as a Business Development Manager is to be the voice of the customer to drive the organiza-tional vision of being a global solution provider that meets our customer’s needs. Olympus is focused on not just helping customers now with our portfolio, but also recognizing the changing landscape of NDT and developing new products and solutions that will help transform the industry.We’re continually working with our customers to solve challenges such as how to minimize cost, how to increase data quality, how to make instruments that are easy to use with less training, and how to work e�ectively in con�ned spaces. Our newest solution, the Olympus Scienti�c Cloud, and our �rst cloud-connected instruments, the EPOCH® 6LT �aw detector and Vanta™ XRF analyzer, are already helping customers solve these challenges.The Olympus Scienti�c Cloud can help make inspection cost-e�ective while providing new data and �eet man-agement tools. By storing �les on the Cloud, customers can be con�dent that the data collected during a long day’s work is safely and securely backed up. The data is also easily exportable in open formats, making it easy to analyze the data in your preferred analytics program. For �eet supervisors, the Cloud o�ers more tools to manage their instruments. The Olympus Scienti�c Cloud can be used to keep track of important health information like error logs, active time, and the number of power cycles (health information varies by instrument). Our instruments with built-in GPS help managers keep track of their device’s physical locations and organize inspection data with location tagging.The Cloud also o�ers powerful collaboration functions, which can help reduce cost. Wireless data uploads enable a level 1 tech in the �eld to share data with colleagues and take advantage of the knowledge and experience of a level 3 tech back in the o�ce. Customers with Vanta analyzers can use screen sharing to enable decision makers to use real-time information to direct users on the ground.The new EPOCH 6LT �aw detector is designed with rope access technicians in mind. As more inspection compa-nies turn to rope access as a cost-e�ective alternative to sca�olding, the EPOCH 6LT �aw detector o�ers all the core functionality of the popular EPOCH 650 instrument in a tool designed to be safely held in hand or strapped to a user’s leg. The size and portability of the EPOCH 6LT �aw detector also help customers who need to conduct inspections in con�ned spaces or other areas with limited access.Customers who need to test the material chemistry or verify the alloy identi�cation of critical parts and compo-nents can take advantage of the Vanta XRF analyzer’s new, intuitive software that makes the tools easy to use.

They can even be con�gured to provide simple pass/fail results, so users can get to work with minimal training.

These products and solutions represent the beginning of an accelerating shift toward connected devices and connected inspections. We have much more planned in the future, including expanding the features and availability of the Olympus Scienti�c Cloud to other instruments.

Through X-ray inspection, defects and failures not visible in the process are detected, such as errors in the welding of electronic components or detection of defects in internal layers of circuits or under components that are not detectable with visual inspection.SCI SA has high sensitivity X-ray equipment, both conventional and digital, for the realization of this inspection. With the conventional equipment the results are obtained in radiographic plates in plastic support. With the digital equipment an image is obtained in electronic format that through software can be treated to improve the quality of the inspection.http://www.sciusacorp.com/inspeccion-mediante-rayos-x-circuitos-impresos/
