Abstract

What you don't know can't hurt you’ does NOT apply to Digital Transformation, as it is changing the value proposition from ‘competitive advantage’ to a ‘must do initiative’. NDE has seen revolutions somewhat parallel to industry. The current trends in cyber-physical technologies offer new possibilities wherein the inspectors can see the anomaly on a digital twin before they can see it on the conventional equipment, by fusing data from multiple sources and leveraging history captured in digital threads.  To convert such a possibility into reality, organizations need a roadmap, particularly when the ecosystem is still evolving. Roadmaps are instrumental for guiding and thrusting sociocultural, economic, technological, and even political changes around the world.

This paper provides a guideline to the various stakeholders of the NDE ecosystem to develop a roadmap for NDE 4.0. Meaning this paper provides the necessary support regarding HOW to realize the value propositions of NDE 4.0, which have been developed in earlier publications [1,2,3,4,5].
