Abstract
Markets are affected by assorted consumer requirements, which insist on superior quality, shorter delivery time, better customer support, and lower prices. Simultaneously, product life cycles are becoming shorter. Success relies on having either a cost-benefit or a value benefit, or, both in any competitive context. Therefore, non-destructive techniques (NDT) become vital but in the conventional system, the maintenance personnel has to visit the machine that consumes time and energy. In the present COVID-19 situation and to save energy and time, there is a necessity of making condition monitoring contactless as much as possible. Therefore, in this research work, a structural health monitoring analysis presented that covers: firstly, enlisting of the NDT infrastructure commonly available in heavy manufacturing industries; secondly, common causes and reasons of machine failures and finally, discusses need of embedded structural health monitoring (e-SHM) system with the combination of NDT in place of existing monitoring practice. The presented work suggested that a combination of NDT with e-SHM is better for timely fault detection to ensure effective condition monitoring.

Excessive repairs results [1] in the reduction of performance, efficiency, and useful operating life
There are various events in history [7] of Non-destructive testing (NDT) techniques, key events are shown in figure 1.Various researchers [8]-[10] showed that the non-destructive testing techniques have several advantages, while there are some disadvantages too

Summary
Excessive repairs results [1] in the reduction of performance, efficiency, and useful operating life. It is productive [2] to conduct fault diagnosis at early stages. There are various events in history [7] of NDT techniques, key events are shown in figure 1.Various researchers [8]-[10] showed that the non-destructive testing techniques have several advantages, while there are some disadvantages too. A single NDT technique cannot give highly reliable fault detection To achieve this objective, it is necessary to combine multiple NDT techniques. The author concluded that the e-SHM system with NDT combination could be helpful in fault detection at the early stages
