BECOME A MENTOR FOR ASNT RISE The 2023–2024 class of the ASNT RISE Leadership Development Program is seeking experienced NDT profes- sionals to become their mentors. RISE is a 12-month program combining classroom training and personal development exercises with a series of online learning modules and in-person meetings. As a mentor, you’ll provide one-on-one guidance to your mentee as they navigate the program. Interested applicants should be able to commit to support their mentees from October 2023 through November 2024. Mentors are strongly encouraged to attend the 2023 and 2024 ASNT Annual Conferences to support their mentees. To apply, email rstaat@asnt.org with the subject line: RISE Mentorship Application. Please include a résumé or bio and a statement describing your interest in becoming a mentor for the program (maximum 250 words). Build tomor- row’s NDT leaders through your mentorship in the ASNT RISE Leadership Development Program. Mentorship spots are limited—apply today. |SOCIETYNOTES J U L Y 2 0 2 3 M A T E R I A L S E V A L U A T I O N 15 2307 ME July dup.indd 15 6/19/23 3:41 PM
AI DEPLOYMENT PLATFORM Machine learning models can be a hassle to get into production. Trueflaw has developed the TrueflawBox edge computing platform to deploy its artifi- cial intelligence (AI) models in a way that makes sense for nondestructive evalu- ation. The TrueflawBox is now open for everyone to deploy their own machine learning models. This product is for those that have some in-house machine learning devel- opment for an NDE application or need a fast and secure way to run models in production, but don’t want to start from scratch. The TrueflawBox includes powerful edge AI hardware fully config- ured to run your ML models and a tailored training workshop to get you started. Users can either write their own deployment code or let Trueflaw help. TRUEFLAW TRUEFLAW.COM DEEP LEARNING VISUAL INSPECTION Landing AI announced the launch of LandingEdge, a new deployment applica- tion within the company’s platform, LandingLens. With LandingEdge, manu- facturers can more easily deploy deep learning visual inspection solutions to edge devices on the factory floor to better and more consistently detect product defects. LandingEdge extends the capability of LandingLens into more manufac- turing environments. LandingLens enables teams to build deep learning models. With the new edge capabilities, LandingLens customers will more easily integrate with factory infrastructure to communicate with cameras, apply models to images, and make predictions to inform real-time decision-making on the factory floor. If the factory is connected to the cloud, LandingEdge can update LandingLens with new data to continu- ously improve deep learning models. LandingLens has also been enhanced to enable training a deep learning model up to faster than before. By reducing the time it takes to train models, customers can achieve fast and iterative AI processes and optimize model accuracy. LANDING AI LANDING.AI HANDHELD ROTATING BOLT HOLE SCANNER The new ECS-4 handheld rotating bolt hole scanner from UniWest is very lightweight (7 oz) and has an ergonomic form factor, with the probe exiting at a right angle from the scanner. In addi- tion, the ECS-4 boasts variable speed (125–2250 RPM) and increased torque over UniWest’s popular ECS-1 scanner. Three buttons are within easy reach of the user’s thumb: null, erase, and on/off. The ESC-4 scanner utilizes a rotary transformer to couple eddy current signals from the probe to the instru- ment. Compatible instruments include the UniWest EVi, EddyView® II, EddyView Pro, and EddyView Premium. In addition, the ECS-4 will operate on the NORTEC® 600 and NORTEC 2000. The ECS-4 probe connector is a 4-pin Fischer connector with O-rings. Compatible probes include the following UniWest probe styles: URB, URBA, US-5000, SSB probes as well as some competitor’s probes. UNITED WESTERN TECHNOLOGIES CORP. UNIWEST.COM X-RAY LINE SCAN CAMERA The X-ray line scan camera C14960-14C can take a high-sensitivity, high-resolution transparent X-ray image of an inspected object transported on a belt conveyor or similar apparatus. Since the content of an object, which is not visible with the naked eye, can be inspected without contact or destruction, this camera is suitable for broad interior X-ray observation, enabling the detection of a foreign body mixed in food, electronic components, and so forth. The C14960 series supports a wide usage, from thin to thick sample inspection. HAMAMATSU PHOTONICS HAMAMATSU.COM WIRE ENCODER The Phoenix ISL Wire Encoder is now avail- able to order as a stand-alone product. The lightweight Wire Encoder is quick to set up and offers freehand scanning up to 3 m from a single position, without the constraints of a scanning frame. Available with magnetic, vacuum, or clamp mounts, the Wire Encoder is a versatile tool that can be mounted to any inspection surface and enables C-scan inspection in areas with limited access. The Wire Encoder is compatible with the Phoenix C-Clamp, which can hold any probe and wedge combination up to 55 mm wide. PHOENIX INSPECTIONS SYSTEMS LTD. PHOENIXISL.COM SCANNER |NEWPRODUCTS We want to hear from you!
