A new Center for High-Tech Non-Destructive Testing has been established in China to promote smart testing technologies in support of the country’s expanding smart manufacturing sector. The center, operating under the State Administration for Market Regulation of the People's Republic of China, aims to advance non-destructive testing (NDT) technologies crucial for the country’s high-tech industries, including aerospace, nuclear power, and infrastructure.
The Innovation Center was launched with the backing of the Center for Research and Testing of Defense Technologies, a division of the Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation of China. It specializes in the research and development of NDT technologies tailored to high-tech equipment, which is vital for ensuring the safety and reliability of advanced industrial applications.
According to the People's Daily, the center will serve as a collaborative platform for integrating production, education, and research in the field of non-destructive testing.
Li Hongmin, director of the China Center for Defense Technology Research and Testing and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Innovation Center, commented, "With the rapid development of modern high-tech equipment such as aerospace products, nuclear power equipment, and large-scale bridge structures, the use of new materials, processes, and intelligent manufacturing has created numerous challenges in monitoring and measurement. The Innovation Center will focus on developing advanced non-destructive testing technologies, improving their intelligence, informatization, and standardization."
The Innovation Center brings together 46 leading educational institutions, including the Harbin Institute of Technology and the China Institute of Special Equipment Testing and Research. These institutions have formed a joint alliance to drive technological breakthroughs and elevate industry standards.
The establishment of the Center highlights China’s growing emphasis on technological innovation and its commitment to strengthening its smart manufacturing sector. NDT technologies play a crucial role in maintaining the safety and reliability of key industries such as aerospace, nuclear power, and infrastructure. By advancing NDT and intelligent manufacturing technologies, China aims to enhance the quality control of its rapidly advancing industries, positioning itself as a global leader in high-tech manufacturing standards.
The collaboration between educational institutions and industry leaders is expected to accelerate the development of next-generation testing technologies, further cementing China’s role at the forefront of high-tech innovation.
