“Digitalization of NDE” is about re-imagining the inspection process that fully uses the Digital NDT equipment to enhance inspection outcomes, improve inspector safety, and reduce decision cycle time. It is the next logical activity for most inspection programs today, and an intermediate step before heading to complete digital transformation of the inspection business, termed NDE 4.0. Most companies have embarked on their journey to digital transformation, but seem to not include NDT community, out of their ignorance. This course is aimed at providing NDT practitioners and managers with basic knowledge of why and what should they do to maintain their relevancy through Industry 4.0.


Dr. Ripi Singh, a purposeful innovation coach, began his career in 1992 as a postdoctoral fellow at Georgia Tech, focusing on aging airplane programs. His extensive research on fatigue, fracture, damage tolerance, and human factors in NDE is well-documented and widely referenced. Dr. Singh is now dedicated to integrating Industry 4.0 perspectives and innovation processes into the NDE community and local startup ecosystem through virtual coaching, lectures, and articles. He serves on various university advisory boards, the US delegation to ISO 56000 on Innovation Management, and the International Association of Innovation Professionals. An author of 20 books and over 150 peer-reviewed publications, Dr. Singh also contributes to the "NDE Outlook" column for Material Evaluation. Alongside Johannes, he co-authored "The World of NDE 4.0" and co-edited the Handbook of NDE 4.0, earning the 2022 Robert C. McMaster Medal for their work with ASNT.
