JetSoft delivers NDT data solutions to major aluminium manufacturer
12/04/2017
JetSoft has recently announced the delivery of OverSeer and EyeView to one of the world’s largest aluminium manufacturers.OverSeer automatically reads and databases inspection data, operating across multiple techniques, including ultrasound and conductivity, and integrating it into its Electronic Daily Management (EDM) system. OverSeer reads both new inspection data in real time as well as archiving the existing data collection, with no downtime to production. The scalable system currently holds over 65,000 inspection records, with no effect on speed or usability.
This vast database of inspection data has quickly enabled JetSoft to provide some unique insights. For example, the dashboard visualisation, which collects defect information across years’ worth of inspections in seconds and depicts a 3D heatmap of defect locations, provides intriguing and surprising results that spark big debates within the office.
OverSeer’s unique and highly configurable dashboards allow users to isolate data on any criteria, so users can look at these statistics for individual alloys, furnaces or defect types.
Meanwhile, EyeView facilitates the viewing and analysis of inspection data. This is administered straight from the server using a web browser, for zero-install and remote access, instantly allowing access (via VPN) from home or different sites.
A key feature that has been developed in conjunction with the customer is the new validation module. This enables rules to be set up, notifying the user in real time should certain criteria be met. Examples include alerting them if a reference panel scan does not occur within a specified period, if operators are not following the correct procedures or if a part is scanned that contains a certain defect. Previously, these checks were undertaken manually and consequently a substantial increase in time efficiency has been realised.
Conversations are happening with the client regarding piloting JetSoft’s new machine learning module that integrates other process data, drastically reducing scrap rates, and the company is also in discussions about rolling out JetSoft solutions across other sites.
JetSoft is a software company that specialises in NDT data, aiming to improve the accessibility and efficiency of this under-valued resource that has the potential to revolutionise manufacturing.
