Although the TICS industry has been advancing by leaps
and bounds, the term “NDE 4.0” is buzzing in the past few
years. While some are already calling “Industry 5.0”, NDE
industry is still struggling to adopt the 4.0. One reason
could be that many IT / instrument providers are focusing
solely on NDE rather than a comprehensive solution for the
entire ecosystem.
The eco system includes the entire organisation,
laboratory, staff, and several interconnected bodies
(accreditation, regulatory, taxation), customers,
suppliers. Moreover, the laboratory may also be conducting
metallurgy, mechanical & chemical testing or allied
processes (survey, heat treatment, inspection). Hence, the
current 4.0 model, focused just on NDE, is less favourable
for TICS industry to satisfy the entire ecosystem.
As the sole founder owner of the largest privately owned
Australian laboratory business, the author has faced many
challenges while implementing digitalisation. The TICS
industry can be inefficient by using several fragmented
generic Apps developed by major OEM or individual
providers. The author will share insights about genuine
requirements of the TICS industry. We must think beyond NDE
4.0 and adopt a factual eco-system “NDE N_Ext”, based on
the overall NDE & extended services.
The term “NDE N_Ext” is an indicator of actual NDE
innovations over the past decades & future
developments. The term “N_Ext” allows us to go beyond
industry 4.0 or 5.0, and comprises extension to several
interconnected testing fields, business compliance
processes, and also other entities interacting with a
laboratory in the eco-system.
“NDE N_ Ext” covers comprehensive objectives and ever
evolving goals for NDE & beyond. The author will share
an IT architecture about true “NDE and extension” wherein
the entire eco-system is cyber-human-cyber model, or
possible to link with other industry 4.0 (& beyond)
entities. A success story about a true eco-system, that is
being used by many Australian labs since 2014. It will
indicate gross savings achieved by digital automation that
is cyber communicating with other entities or can connect
with other cyber ready entities.
