A Novel Ultrasonic based NDT for smart analysis of material defects using IoT

The existence of NDT (Non Destructive Testing) in Industries has increased the effectiveness of material testing by analyzing the internal defects. Internet of Things (IoT) is applied in Industries to automate the various processes related to material testing. In this work, the existing NDT is integrated with the concepts of IoT for automating the defect identification process of materials. The proposed methodology is able to analyze the raw data of ultrasonic based NDT and provide accurate results with minimal human intervention. The objective of this work is to use IoT based NDT analysis, to identify the defect characteristics such as type, size and position and host these resultsto the remote authorities using cloud based web service. The outcome of this methodology is proved using Alluminium Al6061 and Stainless steel as testing materials in various dimensions with Epoch 6LT as sensor of IoT
