Cyber technologies are offering new horizons for quality control in manufacturing and safety assurance in-service of physical assets. The line between non-destructive evaluation (NDE) and Industry 4.0 is getting blurred since both are sensory data-driven domains. This multidisciplinary approach has led to the emergence of a new capability: NDE 4.0. The NDT community is coming together once again to define the purpose, chart the process, and address the adoption of emerging technologies. In this paper, the authors have taken a design thinking approach to spotlight proper objectives for research on this subject. It begins with qualitative research on twenty different perceptions of stakeholders and misconceptions around the current state of NDE. The interpretation is used to define ten value propositions or use cases under ‘NDE for Industry 4.0’ and ‘Industry 4.0 for NDE’ leading up to the clarity of purpose for NDE 4.0—enhanced safety and economic value for stakeholders. To pursue this worthy cause, the paper delves into some of the top adoption challenges, and proposes a journey of managed innovation, conscious skills development, and a new form of leadership required to succeed in the cyber-physical world.

NDE 4.0——设计思维视角

网络技术为制造中的质量控制和有形资产在役中的安全保证提供了新的视野。无损评估 (NDE) 和工业 4.0 之间的界限越来越模糊，因为两者都是感官数据驱动的领域。这种多学科方法导致了一种新功能的出现：NDE 4.0。NDT 社区再次聚集在一起，定义目的、绘制流程并解决新兴技术的采用问题。在本文中，作者采用了一种设计思维方法来突出该主题研究的适当目标。它首先对利益相关者的二十种不同看法和对濒死体验现状的误解进行定性研究。该解释用于定义“工业 4 无损检测”下的十个价值主张或用例。0' 和“工业 4.0 for NDE”导致 NDE 4.0 的目的明确——为利益相关者增强安全和经济价值。为了追求这一有价值的事业，本文深入探讨了一些主要的采用挑战，并提出了在网络物理世界取得成功所需的管理创新、有意识的技能发展和新的领导形式的旅程。
