Digital transformation of the inspection systems is inevitable. Pursuit of this opportunity amidst uncertainty makes a well-defined purpose and robust process essential. This book provides an overview of the purpose of NDE 4.0 (why?), underlying technologies (what?), and ways to overcome the challenges (how?) to successfully pursue the confluence of emerging digital technologies with the evolving physical world of inspection.

Looking at publications on the subject of Digital Twins, it seems that a DT is a fancy 3D Visualization - this is quite an unfortunate situation. Digital Twins are THE core of the cyber-physical loops and should be the core of digital transformation projects. In this video, I am presenting my view on digital twins and on the wide variety of digital twins and threads.

Johannes Vrana and Ripi Singh provided the leadership, knowledge and facilitation skills that led the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) NDE group through a successful NDE 4.0 awareness and road mapping workshop. Johannes’ expertise and extensive knowledge about the NDE 4.0 Ecosystem provided the information and insights needed to understand the future benefits and value of implementation of NDE4.0 processes. Ripi’s complementary, expert innovation skills provided the developmental, management, and collaboration tools needed to assist EPRI NDE and its members to stimulate a successful journey through the digital transformation of the electric power industry.
John Lindberg (EPRI)
Dr Vrana is one of the most motivated and knowledgeable people I have ever known in the NDE community. That goes double when it comes to NDE 4.0. I would always be happy to have Dr. Vrana on my team, especially for the most challenging projects.
Dan Ryan (Blue Origin)
Dr. Vrana is one of the leading experts in the field of NDE. Highly recommended.
Kai Kadau (Siemens Energy)
Johannes is not only one of the really bright minds in NDT/NDE but also a very decent and easy to work with person. When we crossed our paths the first time, over 10 years ago on various NDE conferences, he was already a Person who understood the importance of big data analysis and industry 4.0 questions in NDE/NDT. Discussing UT Analysis questions for delicate mechanized or automated inspection tasks with him was always insightful and a pleasure. Over the years we've been in customer relationships, regulatory situations and also in cooperation. A true expert and humble fellow in the NDE world.
