This presentation will address the major drivers of the digital transformation and how it affects the NDT industry. It will identify disruptions, threats and opportunities that professionals, managers and companies have to address in order to be successful in the future. We will also spend some time looking at the impact of automation on NDE and how technological advances are affecting the way we will work in the near future. This presentation will help NDE experts to understand ‘the why’ of the emerging NDE 4.0 transformation. Due to the expertise of the lecturer, the talk will heavily focus on digital radiography (RT) and automation. To provide a better understanding, there will be many practical examples that will illustrate the concepts.
