NTM Inspect
An inspection app in development. We’re testing how inspectors can capture photos, review readings and record their findings in one workflow.
Illustrated project test case · no live recognition
Current stage
An early prototype is being tested. The iPhone version is in preparation.
Recognition with human confirmation
NTM Vision is the recognition technology within NTM Inspect. It proposes readings from photographs of equipment labels and measurement displays for the inspector to check and confirm. The work builds on inspection workflows developed for TIK and VV Elektro.
- 01 · Source photograph
The photograph provides the reference for review. - 02 · Recognition proposal
The extracted fields and proposed measurement are presented for checking. - 03 · Inspector review
The inspector confirms or corrects the proposal against the source photograph. - 04 · Final registration
The confirmed value is distinguished from the original recognition proposal.
A concrete test case
In an earlier project test, a display value of 4.94 Ω was interpreted as 9.94 Ω. This is why a recognition result must remain a proposal until an inspector has reviewed it.
What still needs testing
Recognition across different tester models, retention of all source photographs and rejected results, and the complete confirmation workflow need validation in the test environment. These are development requirements, not a claim that every safeguard is already implemented.
Next step
Test the inspection workflow on iPhone and continue validating recognition, photograph retention and confirmation across tester models.
