SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR EQUIPMENT INSPECTION

A method includes receiving image data representative of an appearance of an equipment part prior to an inspection process and evaluating the image data with a machine learning model that defines baseline image data to determine whether the image data indicates the equipment part has been prepared for the inspection. The inspection process may be prevented when the evaluation indicates that the equipment part has not been prepared. A system includes a controller that receives image data representative of an appearance of an equipment part obtained prior to an inspection process. The controller uses a machine learning model to evaluate the image data with respect to baseline image data to determine whether the equipment part has been prepared for the inspection process. The controller prevents the performance of the inspection process based on the evaluation indicating that the equipment part has not been prepared for the inspection process.
