Principles and Background 

Our position is simple: the future of NDT is open, accessible, and interoperable. In practice, this means being clear about a transition away from closed file structures, widening access to developer tools, and participating in governance that reflects industry consensus rather than one vendor’s roadmap. Open formats reduce friction, accelerate integration, and keep data useful for new use cases from advanced signal processing to machine learning, while avoiding vendor dependency. This also reflects how the community is organizing around standards work, and NDT 4.0. 

Eddyfi Technologies has supported system integration and interoperability in the past, providing customers with access to our APIs and SDKs to help automate inspections, stream data, and build custom tools suited to their needs. While our infrastructure facilitated many successful projects, the close nature of our ecosystem had sometime created obstacles. Accessibility was not always simple; it was even often complex, with availability not being uniform across product lines. Our goal now is to remove those friction points and focus on improving the tools that worked well, so data and tools are easier to reach and use.
