A non-transitory computer readable medium may include executable instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to provide for a non-destructive testing (NDT) ecosystem. The NDT ecosystem includes a repository of digital content, and a store configured to sell the digital content to a customer, wherein the digital content is executable by a NDT device and wherein the digital content is created by a plurality of entities.

Systems and methods for a non-destructive testing ecosystem

A non-destructive testing (NDT) system can provide a tree model of an inspection on a display of an NDT device and on a web page configured in a web browser on a computing device coupled to the NDT device. Inspection data acquired using the NDT device can be provided in real-time as the inspection data is associated with a node configured in the tree model. The NDT system can generate an inspection tree model based on an inspection template including a template tree model. Defect properties, inspection instructions, and/or image transforms can be applied to nodes of the template tree model such that the generated inspection tree model includes the applied defect properties, inspection instructions, and/or image transforms, which can then be applied to the inspection data acquired at the inspection point location corresponding to each node.

Systems and methods for menu directed inspection

A method includes receiving data characterizing digital content from a repository of digital content. The method also includes receiving data characterizing a right to use the digital content from a store configured to sell a right to use the digital content to a customer associated with a non-destructive testing device. The method further includes performing an inspection of machinery using the non-destructive testing device based on the received digital content and the received right to use the digital content. The inspection can be performed by one or more of executing, using, and displaying the digital content. Related systems, devices, and non-transitory computer-readable mediums are also described.

Systems and methods for non-destructive testing online stores

Systems and methods provided herein. In one embodiment, a system includes a mobile device comprising a display screen. The system further includes a non-destructive testing (NDT) device comprising a camera configured to capture image data, video data, or a combination thereof, and a wireless system configured to communicate the image data, the video data, an overlay data or a combination thereof, to the mobile device; wherein the mobile device is configured to visually display the image data, the video data, the overlay data, or the combination thereof, on the display screen.

Inspection systems and methods

A non-transitory computer readable medium may include executable instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to provide for a repository of digital content, and to provide for a store configured to sell a right to use the digital content to a customer and to transmit the digital content to a non-destructive testing (NDT) device, and wherein the digital content is configured to be executed by, used by, or displayed the NDT device, or a combination thereof.

An inspection management system is provided. The inspection management system includes an inspection data provider that receives inspection data relating to an inspector, one or more devices used to complete an inspection, one or more assets associated with an inspection, an inspection plan, etc. A display of the inspection management system presents one or more graphical user interfaces based upon the inspection data. The graphical user interfaces may facilitate inspection planning, execution, preparation, and/or real-time inspection monitoring.

Realtime inspection management

A collaboration system may include a computing device that may communicate with the at least one other computing device via a computing network. The computing device may receive data that has been acquired using one or more non-destructive testing (NDT) inspection devices, receive an input that may cause a list of one or more experts indicated as available to collaborate to be derived. The computing device may also receive a selection of at least one expert from the list of experts. After receiving the expert selection, the computing device may establish a communication connection between the computing device and the at least one other computing device that corresponds to the at least one expert. Here, the communication connection may share data depicted on the computing device with the at least one other computing device.

Systems and methods for collaborating in a non-destructive testing system

A collaboration system may include a non-destructive testing (NDT) inspection device that may communicate with at least one other computing device via a computing network. The computing network may communicatively couple a plurality of computing devices and the NDT inspection device may acquire inspection data, establish a communication connection to the at least one other computing device, and send the data to the at least one other computing device. There, the at least one other computing device may analyze the data. After the data is analyzed, the NDT inspection device may receive the analyzed data from the at least one other computing device.

Systems and methods for analyzing data in a non-destructive testing system

A system may include a non-destructive testing (NDT) device. The NDT device may further include a communications system configured to receive control data from an external system, wherein the NDT device is configured to use the control data to control a component included in the NDT device, to control a parameter of the NDT device, or a combination thereof.

Systems and methods for control of a non-destructive testing system

A collaboration system may include a computing device that may communicate with the at least one other computing device via a computing network network. The computing device may receive data that has been acquired using one or more non-destructive testing (NDT) inspection devices, receive an input that may cause a list of one or more experts indicated as available to collaborate to be derived. The computing device may also receive a selection of at least one expert from the list of experts. After receiving the expert selection, the computing device may establish a communication connection between the computing device and the at least one other computing device that corresponds to the at least one expert. Here, the communication connection may share data depicted on the computing device with the at least one other computing device.

A collaboration system may include a first computing device that may communicate with at least one other computing device via a computing network. The computing network may communicatively couple to a number of computing devices and the first computing device may receive inspection data acquired by one or more non-destructive testing (NDT) devices. After receiving the inspection data, the first computing device may determine at least one of a workflow for analyzing the inspection data based on the inspection data, a layout configured to display the inspection data, or a set of tools configured to analyze the inspection data. The first computing device may then implement the workflow, display the inspection data according to the layout, and/or display the set of tools. The workflow may include one or more processes that may be used to analyze the inspection data.

Systems and methods for implementing data analysis workflows in a non-destructive testing system

A system is provided that includes computer-readable storage configured to store non-destructive testing inspection data relating to a portion of an object that has been inspected. Further, a processor presents a model associated with the object, associates the inspection data with the related portion of the object; and presents an indication of availability of the inspection data on a portion of the presented model. The portion of the presented model relates to the portion of the object associated with the inspection data.
