Got to talk with the very intelligent and articulate Charles Janecka, manufacturing engineer for Olympus NDT RVI (remote visual inspection). We talked about Machine vision and the future or defect recognition software, fluorescent PT in inaccessible areas, and NDT in the time of Covid-19. Lots of great information in this one. Thanks for listening!

I got to talk with Rand Ernst of Central Piedmont Community College in Charlotte, North Carolina about NDT education, Covid-19 effects on the industry, and what to expect throughout your NDT career. Check it out! Thanks!
