The development of such a system has the potential to allow component manufacturers to identify weaknesses within the structure of a built component prior to distribution to customers and subsequent premature in-service failure. Following proposal of the concept, this paper proceeds to highlight a number of key hardware and software components which are fundamental to the further development and implementation of the in-process monitoring system.
