Johnny, did you listem to John Rice recent talk? In it he discussed GE and alluded to the fact that, yes they did try and go there own way using optical but Sigma and its physicists were focused on thermal. A few years down the line and GE is still having to ‘muscle’ their way to an inefficient and costly inspection. Perhaps realising, but not yet admitting thermal may be the way forward after all. They certainly dont seem to be shouting any great success (that stands up to rigorous inspection, excuse the pun), nor does there seem to be a particularly big client demand for their system worthy of any major breakthroughs in this department. Telling also that Baker Hughes a GE company is one of Sigmas major accounts as they complete evaluation.
We are just bystanders but that was an interesting explanation from the early days of Sigma, GE and an industry looking for its footing. Were there just competing physical methods in play? GE thought they could get away looking to see if a part had a problem, rather than looking to see if a problem was about to occour. A major difference, both scientifically and practically. Almost everyone can do the former, only sigma can do the latter, certainly on a commercial level as we enter 2020
