  • dadaxSee UTS supports adjustment of parameters such as gain, gates, processing and evaluation, making post-processing of ultrasonic data, view reconstruction, defect editing and report updates effortless.
  • dadaxSee UTS supports simultaneous viewing, analysis and post-processing of multiple datasets, and can replay raw or post-processed data to reproduce or simulate the scanning process.
  • With an innovative data protection mechanism, dadaxSee UTS ensures that raw inspection data is never overwritten while still saving post-processing operations applied to the data.
• Automatic defect recognition and reporting
  • With intelligence and automation built in, dadaxSee UTS can easily carry out automatic measurement and defect recognition, and automatically generate inspection reports.
  • dadaxSee UTS supports different evaluation algorithms for different scenarios, workpieces and areas, with zone-based parameter configuration to meet different inspection standards and quality requirements.
  • dadaxSee UTS supports batch report export. Default report content includes project, inspection system, inspection settings, quality standards, workpiece information, inspection results, tables and data views.
• Ultrasonic calibration and calculator with visual sound-field simulation
  • dadaxSee UTS integrates commonly used ultrasonic calibration tools for sound velocity, wedge delay, sensitivity and TCG calibration, plus probe element and wedge check tools.
  • dadaxSee UTS includes a built-in ultrasonic calculator that supports focal law calculation for multi-dimensional probes such as phased array sectorial, linear, compound and TFM probes, and also provides visual simulation of beams and sound fields.
• See more valuable data
  • A dedicated data workbench in dadaxSee UTS helps users manage data more conveniently. With a “data-centric” approach that shows users more valuable data, dadaxSee UTS ensures that “software serves not only the equipment but also operations”, enabling NDT to deliver greater value.
  • dadaxSee UTS stores inspection data in the utd format and provides an open interface for users to parse the data themselves.
• Open technology with remote access
  • dadaxSee UTS is a web-based industrial application that connects easily with third-party systems and supports cross-platform installation and remote access.
