NDE and UNIS Open Platform¶
The .nde file format is one of the primary interfaces of the Unified NDT Inspection Software (UNIS) platform currently being developed by Evident. It was first introduced on the OmniScan X3 flaw detector in October 2022 with the release of MXU 5.11. The .nde file format will be supported by all future NDT software applications developed by Evident.
UNIS is an open platform that can be used by all stakeholders in the NDT world to enable NDE 4.0 and accelerate software development. It is based on open standards and technologies, allowing data exchange through an open file format, and providing open APIs to control Evident instruments. It enables modularity and customization, fostering innovation for all Evident customers.
The UNIS platform is composed of four main components:
- The .nde file format
- The device and its API
- The data processing unit (DPU) - the core of the platform
- The resulting application or user interface (UI)
