NDE 4.0

Welcome to the World of NDE (Nondestructive Material Evaluation / Testing) 4.0:
Industrie 4.0 is the ongoing fourth industrial revolution, based on digitization, crosslinking and networks and lives on data for its feedback loops to to enhance production, design and products. One of its biggest and most valuable data sources is non-destructive evaluation (NDE) / non-destructive material testing (NDT).
NDE or NDT is using methods like ultrasonic, eddy current, thermography or X-ray testing to provide a view into components or joints.
In this channel the NDE methods are introduced and discussed along with the current emerging technologies, like the industrial internet of things, digital twin, artificial intelligence, blockchains, 5G, big data processing, augmented reality, ... and their use for Industrie 4.0 and NDE 4.0.
