Join us for an exploration of the rise of Industry 4.0 and NDE 4.0, the role that acoustic emission (AE) condition monitoring plays in shifting the focus of blade integrity programs, and a glimpse of what the future of blade integrity might look like with the adoption and proliferation of these new technologies.
The concept of Industry 4.0 has been around for a little over a decade and has already had a massive impact on the way the world operates. Whereas earlier industrial revolutions brought about the rise of mechanisation, then mass production, and later computing and automation, the fourth industrial revolution is leveraging an increase in computing power to create an unprecedented web of interconnectivity and business intelligence across industrial processes.
