T.C. : NDE 4.0: Technical Basics, Applications and Role of Societies

Submission status
Closed
Industry 4.0 is the ongoing fourth industrial revolution, based on digitalization, crosslinking, and networks and lives on data for its feedback loops, and one of its biggest and most valuable data sources are NDE. Industry 4.0 leads to improved production, design, and maintenance by analyzing the data stored in digital twins and provided by the industrial internet of things. Measures like artificial intelligence, big data processing, or augmented reality allow us to evaluate and visualize the data. Blockchains allow ensuring modification-proof storage and traceability and 5G the wireless connections needed by Industry 4.0. This will lead to big changes in NDE. First, the Industry 4.0 emerging technologies can be used to enhance NDE technologies and NDE data processing. Second, a statistical analysis of NDE data provides insight into reliability, inspection performance, training status, consistency, and value of the inspections. Finally, NDE is the ideal data source for Industry 4.0. This special issue presents the current hard and soft scientific views on all trends in NDE 4.0 and will contain multiple papers from the first conference on NDE 4.0. The first conference on NDE 4.0 is devoted to promoting a broad exchange on all subjects regarding NDE 4.0

    Dr. Ripi Singh is a purposeful innovation coach with a lifetime of learning in technology, people, and process development. It all started with aging airplane program in 1992 as a post doc fellow at Georgia Tech. Decades of his research work on fatigue and fracture, damage tolerance, human factors in NDE is well published and frequently referred to. Ripi is now working hard to bring industry 4.0 perspective and innovation processes to the NDE community and the local startup eco-system. Ripi serves on various university advisory boards, US delegation to ISO 56000 on Innovation Management, International Association of Innovation Professionals.
