Details
The objective of Unified NDT Inspection Software (UNIS) is to pioneer and accelerate the digital transformation within the Non-Destructive Evaluation (NDE) 4.0 industry. This groundbreaking initiative envisions a paradigm shift in how NDE processes operate. Evident envisions a future where NDE processes transcend traditional boundaries. No longer confined by closed software systems, UNIS stands as an open platform—a gateway to efficiency, accuracy, and accessibility.
UNIS operates as an open software platform, diverging from traditional closed systems. Its openness fosters integration, customization, and collaboration among various stakeholders in the NDE ecosystem, including instrument manufacturers, developers, researchers, and end-users. The platform enables such openness through its fundamental architecture, its use of modern technology components, and through three key principles.
Firstly, UNIS provides an open file format requiring no specific proprietary applications to read, process and save NDE data. Secondly, UNIS provides easy device abstraction and connectivity with a modern and open application programming interface (API), giving the ability to connect devices together, control them remotely, and streamline their workflows. Finally, the platform is fully web-technology-based and web-hosted enabling multiple deployment options and enhanced customization opportunities. This enables the development of online tools that can be accessible from anywhere or on any platform and allows all stakeholders to be more efficient in developing and deploying their software solutions.
The convergence of these elements in UNIS facilitates a digital transformation that centralizes inspection data while decentralizing processes. By addressing these key aspects, UNIS bridges the gap between the digital and physical worlds, allowing them to synergize and advance NDE practices. Progress on all aspects of the UNIS platform will be presented along with examples of how the UNIS platform can contribute to industry participation, connection, and collaboration in accordance with the EN·GAGE theme of ASNT.
