In this episode of the NDE 4.0 Podcast, we interview Dr. Dave Hughes, founding director and CTO of Novosound, a Scottish sensors company utilizing thin-film processes to eliminate conventional limitations in ultrasound sensors. Under Dave's leadership, the company has quickly grown to become an award-winning global business manufacturing ultrasound sensors for a range of industries, including NDT and oil and gas, aerospace, and semiconductor markets.

Dave discusses how new NDE / NDT technologies like sensors in pipelines can prevent future disasters by increasing the flow of data. With an improved data set and predictive analysis, business leaders can make safer and more profitable business decisions over time.
