Offshore platforms and refineries increasingly deployed crawlers equipped with PAUT and laser profilometry. For example, the "Triple-Tech" scanner (UT, TOFD, and visual) autonomously mapped corrosion under insulation (CUI). These robots generated massive point-cloud datasets, often compressed into PDF reports for remote review. Summary

There was increased interest in Eddy Current Array (ECA) technology for surface and near-surface inspections.

While film-based radiography is still widely used, 2020 saw a major shift toward Digital Detector Arrays (DDA).
