INFORM Bridging Industrial Microscopy, Automation and AI Analysis

1pm – 2pm 4 February 2027

Microscopy and imaging are essential for understanding materials, investigating failures and supporting quality control. In this INFORM webinar, Wayne Hovelmeier and Zak Rackham will introduce Imagic IMS, demonstrating how a connected software environment can bring image capture, analysis, storage and reporting into one integrated laboratory workflow.

Discover how Imagic IMS helps laboratories move beyond separate image folders, spreadsheets and manual reporting processes. Through a demonstration built around practical laboratory scenarios, you will see how images, measurements and associated data can be managed in a central system, improving consistency, traceability and access to information.

The session will explore a range of image capture methods, from macro imaging and digital microscopy to mobile image inputs. Learn how these sources can be brought together within a structured workflow, with images, metadata and analysis results retained within the customer’s own IT environment.

You will also discover how AI-assisted analysis can reduce repetitive manual measurement tasks and support faster, more consistent results. The speakers will introduce Imagic’s ongoing AI development work, including collaboration with a university in Germany to advance applied image analysis capabilities.

Whether you are managing a materials laboratory, conducting microscopy analysis or exploring laboratory automation, discover how connected imaging workflows can help improve efficiency and support informed decisions.

What You Will Learn

During this webinar, you will:

  • How Imagic IMS connects image capture, analysis, database storage and reporting within one integrated workflow.

  • How to manage images from macro imaging setups, digital microscopes and mobile sources while maintaining structured data and traceability.

  • How AI-assisted analysis can support faster, more consistent measurements and reduce repetitive manual tasks.

  • How a central database improves searchability and long-term access to images, metadata and analysis results.

  • How automated reporting tools can standardise outputs and reduce time spent preparing documentation.

  • How practical workflow examples can help identify laboratory bottlenecks and opportunities for automation.

  • How images and associated data can remain within your organisation’s own IT environment to support data ownership and control.

Who Should Attend?

This webinar is ideal for professionals working in:

  • Laboratory managers and microscopy facility managers seeking more efficient imaging and reporting workflows.

  • Materials engineers, metallurgists and materials scientists working in materials testing and characterisation.

  • Quality professionals and failure analysis specialists who rely on consistent measurements and traceable imaging data.

  • Laboratory technicians, metallographers and research scientists involved in image capture and analysis.

  • Automation, digital transformation and laboratory systems professionals exploring connected laboratory processes.

 

The session will also be relevant to professionals working with imaging in other fields, including forensics.
