  • Patent number: 11867774
    Abstract: Systems and methods to use customized quality control tasks for non-destructive testing (NDT) are disclosed. An example NDT system includes at least one of a magnetic particle inspection device or a penetrant testing device, a user interface device, a processor, and a memory coupled to the processor and storing machine readable instructions. When executed, the instructions cause the processor to: access a quality verification procedure comprising a plurality of tasks and corresponding task definitions; display one or more of the plurality of tasks based on statuses of the plurality of tasks; receive one or more results associated with the one or more of the plurality of tasks; store the one or more results in association with the magnetic particle inspection device or the penetrant testing device; and control at least one aspect of the magnetic particle inspection device or the penetrant testing device based on the one or more results.

  • Publication number: 20190317048
    Abstract: Systems and methods to remotely manage non-destructive testing systems are disclosed. An example NDT system includes: a test process manager configured to: receive a configuration of a magnetic particle test procedure or a penetrant test procedure corresponding to a part type; and store the magnetic particle test procedure or the penetrant test procedure; and a magnetic particle inspection device or penetrant testing device, including: a communications device configured to receive the magnetic particle test procedure or the penetrant test procedure from the test process manager via a communications network; a processor; and a memory coupled to the processor and storing machine readable instructions to: in response to identification of the part type as a part under test, access the magnetic particle test procedure or the penetrant test procedure based on the identification; and control a testing process based on the magnetic particle test procedure or the penetrant test procedure.

  • Publication number: 20190317650
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for on-screen technical sheets. An non-destructive testing (NDT) based setup may be configured for selecting based on a particular non-destructive testing (NDT) inspection and/or article being inspected, a corresponding technical sheet; and for providing to a user via an interactive component of the NDT setup, during the NDT inspection, the selected technical sheet or information generated based on the selected technical sheet, such that the user is enable to continue performing the NDT inspection and to remain in proximity of the setup where the NDT inspection is conducted.
