Frequently asked questions

What is the relationship between CV and NDT? Often a combination; CV for surface inspection, NDT for internal defects?

CV and NDT are frequently used together. Computer Vision (CV) analyzes surface defects, while Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) examines internal flaws.

How can we reduce false alarms? Are better calibration standards key?

Reducing false alarms requires improved calibration standards/shooting conditions, utilizing ensemble methods/thresholds, and incorporating human quality assurance.

How is CMMS integrated for automated requests/prioritization?

CMMS systems are integrated to automate request processing and prioritize maintenance tasks based on detected issues.

What about safety? Access zones, protocols, PPE control?

Safety procedures include designated access zones, established protocols, and proper Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) controls.
