How to monitor steel alloys with Grafana

Christopher Field is one of the winners of the 2024 Golden Grot Awards. Find out why his win is a testament to all the non-traditional use cases for Grafana dashboards.

Their software helps researchers stream images from room-sized electron microscopes to a time series database and machine learning models that are used to instantly identify defects. The analysis processes went largely unchanged for decades, Christopher says, with researchers taking snapshots every minute or so and going back to assess those images later on. “Not only is it incredibly useful as it significantly speeds up the process to discover and review changes in defects within steel alloys used in nuclear reactors, but it also goes a step further.
