Vibrant was formed for the sole purpose of commercializing Process Compensated Resonance Testing (PCRT) for the aerospace and power generation industries. PCRT is a revolutionary non-destructive testing technology that can determine if a component is structurally sound and fit for service.

PCRT is the only NDT technology that correlates to the structural integrity of the inspected component. While other technologies look for "indications"​ that are associated with defects that might affect the structural integrity of the component, PCRT actually measures the variations in resonance signatures that are a result of variations in structural integrity. Many kinds of variations can affect the structural integrity of a component. PCRT's proprietary software "learns"​ the acceptable manufacturing variations as well as the unacceptable variations caused by material problems, process problems, and in process damage.

In addition to PCRT's value in NDT of new production components, it has the truly unique ability to compare a component's current resonate signature to its past signatures. These comparisons of successive inspections have the demonstrated ability to monitor changes in structural integrity of a given component over time, and to detect both damage and the onset of fatigue before cracking has begun.
