In recent years, the topic of NDE 4.0 has gained a significant audience. While the theoretical virtues of Industry 4.0 concepts applied to NDT are generally recognised, there is still a lack of clear examples of pragmatic applications and deployment, such that it is difficult for decision-makers to see tangible gains in adopting this new paradigm. This presentation is to show the current state of implementation within a portable phased array instrumentation, with results from real-life applications.
