Systems and methods to remotely manage non-destructive testing systems

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.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
