DIMATE GmbH

What DIMATE GmbH does

DIMATE GmbH is a privately held German software company founded in 2018 as a spin-off from VISUS Health IT GmbH, headquartered in Bochum. It builds a DICONDE-compliant (ASTM E2339) Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) Picture Archiving and Communication System (DIMATE PACS) that digitalizes and centralizes inspection data from radiographic (RT), ultrasonic (UT), and visual testing (VT) methods. The platform is extended by method-specific modules (Advanced RT, Advanced UT, Advanced VT), an Order Manager, the NDT Photo App for field documentation, Viewer Pro for analysis, and a suite of AI modules (Automated Wall Thickness Evaluation, Image Calibration, Data Matching) launched in October 2025, all built on the company's structured data foundation with embedded quality gates.

The company sells to large asset-intensive operators — primarily in oil & gas (refineries, petrochemical), chemical, energy & utilities, and aerospace — and to NDT service providers such as Applus+ RTD and NDT Nordic. Named enterprise customers include bp (rolled out across 6 refineries), Bayernoil, MiRO, Ruhr Oel, Pfinder Chemie, and ETABO, alongside equipment partners VisiConsult and diondo. Revenue is generated through annual subscriptions for the PACS platform and AI add-on modules, supplemented by implementation services deployed via an 8-step methodology (gap analysis through site-wide rollout). Go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales, channel partners (ImageGrafix for KSA, UAE, India), ADNOC engagement in the Middle East, and event-driven demand generation. Differentiation rests on DICONDE compliance, structured validated data, AI built on a proprietary data substrate, and deep integration with customer IDMS/AIM/ERP environments.

Core offering

DIMATE develops and sells DIMATE PACS, a DICONDE-compliant (ASTM E2339) Picture Archiving and Communication System that digitalizes non-destructive testing (NDT) workflows across radiographic (RT), ultrasonic (UT), and visual testing (VT). The platform is sold with modular add-ons (Advanced RT/UT/VT, AI Solutions) and professional services for inspection data capture, automated evaluation, and integration with IDMS, AIM, ERP, and LIMS systems at industrial sites.

Product overview

DIMATE offers a modular software platform for end-to-end digitalization of non-destructive testing (NDT) inspection workflows. The core product is DIMATE PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System), a vendor-neutral platform that digitizes, centralizes, and structures inspection data from various NDT methods (RT/UT/VT). This core platform is extended by specialized modules: DIMATE Advanced RT, Advanced UT, and Advanced VT provide method-specific workflow automation for radiographic, ultrasonic, and visual testing respectively. DIMATE AI Solutions adds three AI-powered modules (Automated Wall Thickness Evaluations, Automated Image Calibration, and Automated Data Matching) built on top of the PACS foundation, all featuring AI-driven quality gates. Additional tools include the DIMATE NDT Photo App for field documentation, the UT Gateway App for offline data collection, and DIMATE Viewer Pro for professional image analysis. All products comply with the international DICONDE IT standard (ASTM E2339) for vendor-neutral data interoperability.
