Lyft® by Eddyfi Technologies is the most advanced pulsed eddy current (PEC) inspection data acquisition and analysis software. It boasts an intuitive workflow so that technicians acquire the best data in the field and unique advanced analysis tools to achieve the highest level of inspection confidence.
Lyft GO and Lyft CPN are continually evolving PEC data acquisition, analysis, and reporting software programs. Lyft introduces integration with Eddyfi Technologies’ connectivity tools, marking the first-ever PEC system to provide a connected environment. This integration offers three key connected tools for unparalleled efficiency in the field and a new standard of reporting:
The Eddyfi mobile app now includes a convenient remote control for the Lyft. Operators can step away from the instrument screen and keep their eyes where they matter most - on the probe and the part.
The remote control provides:
Once a scan zone is configured on the Lyft, operators can conduct acquisitions directly from their mobile device. The app works seamlessly across smartphones, tablets, wearable computers, and headsets, giving inspectors the flexibility to work more efficiently, safely, and with confidence.
The Lyft software suite comprises four specialized tools tailored to streamline handling PEC data with reliability and efficiency.
Lyft GO is a robust data acquisition software integrated into the Lyft unit. It excels in ensuring dependable and practical data acquisition in various field conditions. Leveraging SmartPULSE™ technology and data quality verification checks, Lyft GO guarantees the reliability of acquired data from the outset. Additionally, Lyft GO features clever connectivity tools to enhance team collaboration and support by integrating Zoom. It also ensures secure and efficient data management through OneDrive integration. Moreover, the
Eddyfi mobile application is available for both Apple and Android devices; the app complements Lyft GO to effortlessly craft crystal-clear and context-rich reports.
Lyft CPN uses the same user interface as Lyft GO with added features for analysis and is the prime tool for advanced data analysis. With the PermTool™ and Tau-scan™, Lyft CPN is the first software of the industry to offer advanced analysis curves dedicated to deepening comprehension of the PEC signal and increasing confidence in inspection results.
SurfacePro 3D is visualization and reporting software compatible with Lyft. It is designed to automatically create components and overlay stitched C-scan data. Import Lyft reports, create 3D components, and stitch color maps automatically. Easily import, export, create, and edit report templates. Compile and merge inspection data with associated images, inspection parameters, and defect tables for fast and compelling reporting.
The Lyft is packed with automation and advanced algorithms that remove operator-specific dependence, thanks to the power of the SmartPULSE technology. It automatically optimizes pulser and receiver parameters (gain, duration, time gates, filters, etc.).
SmartPULSE also adjusts wall thickness (WT) measurements to ensure optimal performance and repeatability, while limiting the need for advanced knowledge of pulsed eddy current testing. The user-friendly multi-touch software also includes several innovative features, including real-time C-scan imaging (grid-mapping and dynamic modes), complete wall thickness measurements (ID and OD corrosion), as well as complete inspection management and reporting capabilities.
Under sizing is a well-known phenomenon for PEC where defects smaller than the probe’s averaging area appear shallower than they really are. Lyft’s compensated wall thickness (CWT) tool mitigates the phenomenon by quantifying the minimum wall thickness of a specific region in a C-scan. The CWT tool’s specialized algorithms isolate a defect’s contribution to the A-scan signal to more precisely compute its minimum wall thickness.
Lyft CPN enables advanced Lyft data analysis and features the same graphical user interface as the Lyft software, making it easy to learn and benefit from larger data layouts. This translates into Lyft instruments out in the field acquiring data while analysts work hard to extract value from acquired data.
Lyft CPN makes it easier analyze inspection data from several Lyft instruments. It also has a remote-control mode allowing you to connect your computer to your Lyft instrument and perform acquisition. Furthermore, the software has features to generate richer reports, tools to bridge calibration parameters between scan zones and take advantage of the Tau-scan™ and PermTool™ unique to Lyft for advanced analysis and increased inspection confidence.
