Across so many industries, non-destructive evaluation has proven its worth time and again through quality and safety assurance of valuable assets. Yet, over time, it became underappreciated in business decisions. In most cases, the data gathered by NDT is used for quality assurance assessments resulting in binary decisions. And we seem to miss out on value of the information content of NDE which goes way deeper and can help other stakeholders: such as engineering, management, inspectors, service providers, and even regulators. Some of those groups might not even be aware of the benefits of NDE data and its digitalization. Unfortunately, the NDE industry typically makes the data access unnecessarily difficult by proprietary interfaces and data formats. Both those challenges need to be addressed now by the NDE industry. The confluence of NDE and Industry 4.0, dubbed as NDE 4.0, provides a unique opportunity for the NDE/NDT Industry to not only readjust the value perception but to gain new customer groups through a broad set of value creation activities across the ecosystem. The integration of NDE into the Cyber-Physical Loop (including IIoT and Digital Twin) is the chance for the NDE industry to now shift the perception from a cost center to a value center. This paper provides an overview of the NDE ecosystem, key value streams, cyber-physical loops that create value, and a number of use cases for various stakeholders in the ecosystem.

在众多行业中，无损评估通过对宝贵资产的质量和安全保证一次又一次地证明了其价值。然而，随着时间的推移，它在商业决策中被低估了。在大多数情况下，无损检测收集的数据用于质量保证评估，从而产生二元决策。我们似乎错过了 NDE 信息内容的价值，它可以更深入地帮助其他利益相关者：例如工程、管理、检查员、服务提供商，甚至监管机构。其中一些团体甚至可能没有意识到濒死体验数据及其数字化的好处。不幸的是，无损检测行业通常通过专有接口和数据格式使数据访问变得不必要地困难。NDE 行业现在需要解决这两个挑战。NDE 和工业 4.0 的融合，被称为 NDE 4.0，为 NDE/NDT 行业提供了一个独特的机会，不仅可以重新调整价值认知，而且可以通过整个生态系统中广泛的价值创造活动来获得新的客户群。NDE 与网络物理环路（包括 IIoT 和数字孪生）的集成是 NDE 行业现在将观念从成本中心转变为价值中心的机会。本文概述了 NDE 生态系统、关键价值流、创造价值的网络物理循环，以及生态系统中各种利益相关者的一些用例。NDE 集成到网络物理循环（包括 IIoT 和数字孪生）中是 NDE 行业现在将观念从成本中心转变为价值中心的机会。本文概述了 NDE 生态系统、关键价值流、创造价值的网络物理循环，以及生态系统中各种利益相关者的一些用例。NDE 与网络物理环路（包括 IIoT 和数字孪生）的集成是 NDE 行业现在将观念从成本中心转变为价值中心的机会。本文概述了 NDE 生态系统、关键价值流、创造价值的网络物理循环，以及生态系统中各种利益相关者的一些用例。
