Waygate Technologies

Waygate Technologies, a Baker Hughes business based in Germany, provides non-destructive testing (NDT) solutions for the aerospace and industrial sectors. Operating as a critical service provider in the quality assurance phase of the value chain, the organisation produces hardware and software for industrial radiography, computed tomography, and ultrasonic testing. These systems are used to verify the structural integrity of components without causing damage, ensuring flight safety during both production and lifecycle maintenance. The organisation serves major airframe manufacturers and engine OEMs, supplying inspection systems used for the evaluation of turbine blades, composite wings, and additive manufactured parts. Its technologies are frequently deployed in MRO facilities to detect fatigue, corrosion, or internal defects in propulsion systems and structural elements. Key partners include major commercial aerospace firms requiring high-throughput, high-resolution inspection of safety-critical assemblies to meet international aviation standards. Prospective buyers should verify the specific certifications of the inspection hardware, such as compliance with ISO or ASTM standards, and confirm the availability of regional technical support for proprietary software platforms. It is also advisable to assess the compatibility of their digital inspection tools with existing manufacturing execution systems. Partners must ensure that the specific NDT modality offered—whether X-ray, ultrasound, or remote visual inspection—aligns with their specific material types and regulatory requirements.
