Advancements in digital technologies will also play a major role in education, training, qualification and certification. However, the implementation of these concepts require an upgrade in the infrastructure of instrumentation and communication throughout older facilities. Often these upgrades are costly and require massive investment as early adopters of these concepts have found. A balanced approach that weighs cost-benefit relationship for each scenario is necessary before making costly decisions to implement these concepts.

The Middle East region, in particular, the Gulf Cooperation Council states (GCC), which has been established as the world’s capital of reliable energy and critical source for the sustainability of the world economy is facing major challenges to maintain aging assets and to ensure their reliability. In addition, this region is enjoying a period of rapid growth and massive investment in infrastructure. Sustaining energy production & growth is a challenge and equipment reliability and integrity are critical. IR4.0 will play an essential role to ensure reliable operation and to meet the ever increasing world energy demands.

The American Society for Nondestructive Testing ASNT Saudi Arabian Section & Bahrain Society of Engineers are once again joining hands to launch the 8th Middle East Nondestructive Testing Conference & Exhibition from 30 January – 2 February 2021 at the Gulf Convention Centre, Gulf Hotel, Kingdom of Bahrain. The last conference held in September 2015 which received an overwhelming response. More than 100 technical papers were presented and 4 of the most distinguished International Keynote Speakers delivered presentations on the latest advances in the field of NDT.
