The modern world is characterized by the pervasive use of computers, sensors, robotics, and Internet connectivity. This represents a new industrial revolution, dubbed Industry 4.0. In this paper, we discuss the application of the Industry 4.0 paradigm to creating a robotic search-and-detection platform intended for humanitarian demining. This is based on the combination and interaction of two microwave radars - including a UWB multi-sensor array, and a holographic imager - as well as 3-D optical cameras, remote navigation, and GPS tracking. The concepts introduced by Industry 4.0 represent an important opportunity for the scientific community to adopt new approaches in the design and use of UWB radar systems, and how data from these systems can be shared, archived, and processed in a decentralized manner accessible to the worldwide community
