Blender is a free and open-source 3D animation software, that has the potential to be used as a metrology simulation tool, to build digital models that can be used in the design and optimisation of camerabased measurement systems. In this work the feasibility of using of Blender for measurement system simulation is explored. Using Blender, a simple camera-based measurement task was simulated, in which a camera is used to measure the observable diameter of a white sphere. The aim was to check if the virtual cameras created in Blender can perceive and measure the sphere in the same manner as...

For a sustainable transformation of processes and services from metrology into a digital age, data needs to become more comprehensible to machines. Linked Data and tools from the Semantic Web are promising developments helping to reach this goal. We give an introduction to relevant concepts and tools that metrologists are being increasingly confronted with in the scope of digital transformation.

Modern programming language type systems help programmers write correct software, and the software they intended to write. We show how expressive types can be used to encode dimension and units of measure information, which can be used to avoid dimensional mistakes and guide software construction, and how types can even help to generate code automatically, which eliminates a whole class of bugs.

One of the benefits of the Digital Calibration Certificate (DCC, [1] and [2]) as shown by PTB is to have flexible ways to transform the resulting DCC document since it is a digital document. In order to better visualise the content for human beings, or for a transitional period to print an analogue copy of the DCC XML [3] document with sign and seal, a feature for transforming the DCC to a human readable form is needed. We will call this form human readable (HR) (see Fig. 1), and it is an optional part of the DCC. This paper will show how to generate the human readable form of the DCC by...

The aim of this publication is to break down what information is necessary to generate a DCC. It distinguishes between general and specific specifications and shows which information in addition to the DCC schema is necessary to generate a machine interpretable DCC.

The aim of this publication is to provide an overview of the recent advances of the XML schema for digital calibration certificates. The motivation and benefits of digital calibration certificates is explained and the basic requirements to which the DCC complies are stated in Section 1. A representative selection of changes is presented and explained in Section 2; and finally, conclusions are drawn, and an outlook on further work is given in Section 3.

In frameworks of EMPIR project ComTraForce the Digital Twin (DT) concept of force measurement device is developed. The aim of DT is to shade static, continuous as well as dynamic calibration processes, preserving data quality and collecting calibration data for improved decision making. To illustrate the developed DT concept a prototype realisation for static and continuous force calibration processes is developed, involving simulation with ANSYS engineering software. The focus of the current work is placed on the data connection between the physical device and the DT. The DT model is...

Early in 2022 NIST embarked on a pilot project to produce digital calibration reports and digital certificates of analysis for reference materials. The goal of the project is to produce a few examples of digital reports and certificates for the purpose of assessing the scope and challenges of digital transformation in those particular measurement services. This presentation is focused on the Reference Material Certificate effort of the pilot project. Our aims for this part of the pilot project are to generate a digital Reference Material Certificate from certification data, descriptive...

Sensor networks underpin many developments in digital transformation, with applications ranging from regulated utility networks to low-cost Internet of Things (IoT). The metrological assessment of sensor networks necessitates a fundamental revision of calibration, uncertainty propagation and performance assessment and new approaches for information and data handling regarding the individual sensors and their interactions in the network to allow a systems metrology approach to be established. This contribution summarizes initial findings from three research projects and gives an outlook into...

Digital technologies are used in instrumentation and measurements since many years. The use of microprocessors in measuring instruments became a common practice, bringing the advantage of extended information processing at the instrument level, digital interface and remote control. The instrument can be calibrated and verified within an automated system which can carry all the process without the operator interference and to generate in the end the calibration certificate. The paper presents the possibility of joining the calibration of an instrument with a reference source using an...
