Component Detective, a Photo-Based Engineering Identifier
A tool for photographing engineering parts and generating a structured identification report.
Field notes
The intake is designed around evidence collection rather than a single snapshot: users can provide overall, profile, marking, connector, and dimension views, with eight photos allowed. They may also classify the component as mechanical, electrical, hydraulic/pneumatic, chemical/process, civil, or manufacturing, then attach a PDF specification sheet. The page says the resulting report will include confidence, failure modes, inspection steps, and replacement specifications, but no completed analysis is visible in the extract.
