With the rise of Industry 4.0, automated inspection systems integrated directly with welding robots. Vision-based sensors (laser profiling) performed interpass inspection, detecting misalignment or excessive reinforcement before the next pass. Post-weld, crawler-mounted PAUT units scanned long seam welds in storage tanks and pipelines, operating in confined spaces without personnel entry.
