A method can comprise: scanning, via an optical scanner, a tip of an airfoil of a bladed rotor, the tip including a coating disposed thereon, the coating comprising a metal plating and a plurality of protrusions, each protrusion in the plurality of protrusions extending from the metal plating; comparing a coating parameter of the coating to a coating parameter threshold based on scanner data from the optical scanner; and determining whether the coating maintains sufficient coverage of the tip of the airfoil based on the comparing.

Visual and/or dimensional tip inspection systems and methods

A method and system for managing complex projects uses a framework having workflow maps containing activity blocks that provide detailed, easily accessible information within the framework about the project. The framework links functional groups, their associated activities, and the dependences between activities. Images of the workflow maps are converted into an interactive interface by linking location information associated with objects in the workflow map with their associated data in the database. Selecting a given object in the workflow map retrieves the data associated with the location of the selected object. Implementing the framework as a web-based application allows easy access to the framework as well as data entered into the framework for future analysis.
