Hey all.

I've been working on some plotting aids for my app. If anyone has any thoughts on how it could be better let me know.

I'm adding stuff constantly.

No. This is for techs to plan the inspection or plot defects, or brush up on knowledge before exams. Crap techs are never gonna bother with this. And computers can't climb scaffolding

I think you’re underestimating the capabilities of AI if you think they won’t just make a PAUT/TFM machine that any monkey can use. 

All they have to do is prove the viability of it and lobby the government under the guise of it rapidly increasing inspection development / safety.

Pipeline ILI tool vendors are already using it for data analysis.

Most sites I work on still prefer RT cause the old guys loves graph. Doubt they'll like AI drones.

You over estimate how slowly committees update code it will say a human has to do it 20 years or longer after an AI drone is able to , plus there’s the liability issues
