This paper presents the strategic digital transformation of workflows at the National Institute of Metrology Thailand (NIMT). The implementation of digital technologies has significantly reduced human errors, enhanced accuracy, and increased transparency in data handling. NIMT has proactively developed and deployed digital platforms across the organization to support this transformation. A key outcome of this initiative is the Equipment Management and Tracking System (EMTs), developed in alignment with ISO/IEC 17025, which enables efficient electronic management of measurement instruments....

We present a new case study of digitalized third-party validation for a calibration service of purity. The third-party validation is an add on to the calibration service, conducted by a third party independent from laboratory and customers, aiming at assuring quality of results. The case features frequent validations, and information leakage-free by checking data within the laboratory rather than externally, that have not been addressed in the previous cases. We describe the design and implementation of the system.

The successful digitization of documents in conformity assessment, e.g. for calibration and test, requires both the compliance with different requirements and the use of a unified machine-readable data structure. A well-known example is the data structure for the Digital Calibration Certificate (DCC). Its use is proposed by the German Calibration Service (DKD) in its Report DKD-E 7-3 for the digitization of calibration certificates for non-automatic weighing instruments (NAWIs). An analysis has been carried out to check whether the proposal can be applied to OIML R 76 test reports. By...

The United States Air Force (USAF) Metrology and Calibration program's mission is to ensure USAF readiness through the accuracy, reliability, and traceability (A-R-T) of 700k units of Measurement & Test Equipment (M&TE). While our operations are extensive—500k annual calibrations across 65 global labs—current limitations in data capture, infrastructure, and analytical capabilities prevent us from fully leveraging our data for a modern, data-driven, proactive Quality Infrastructure (QI). Consequently, this paper explains capability gaps between our current and desired end state QIs, the...

This paper presents the conceptual, methodological, and technological foundations for a Knowledge Management (KM) model aimed at the digital transformation of the Quality Infrastructure (QI) ecosystem. As a case study, it examines the Quality Infrastructure Services Portal (PSIQ), currently under development by the Sao Paulo State Institute of Weights and Measures (IPEM-SP), at Technology Readiness Level 2 (TRL2). Using a qualitative, exploratory, and applied approach, the study supports the transition of the portal to TRL3. Classical KM models (SECI, DIKW, APO, and Cynefin) are employed to...

Applications based on Artificial Intelligence (AI) are becoming useful tools in Metrology. The ability of, e.g., managing big amounts of devices or analysing Big Data using AI Applications (in the sense of Software) raises speditivity and accuracy of gaining metrological results as well as facilitates metrological analyses on a new scale. When AI is involved in measurement, decision making, classification, etc., it must be assured that the results are transparent, reproducible, comparable, and traceable, corresponding to the established metrological measurement requirements. Hence, the...

The Digital Calibration Certificate (DCC) has been the first metrological quality-related document that has undergone a thorough analysis and requirements assessment process in order to develop a fully machine-actionable digital process that fulfills the requirements of ISO 17025. During this, still ongoing, process, the demand for a more modular approach to digital quality documents has become obvious. The paper introduces the DX schema, which is the conceptual basis for the future DCC version 4 and other digital certificates, reports, and documents related to metrology, conformity...

The missions of the National Metrology Calibration Centre (NMCC) at the Saudi Standards, Metrology, and Quality Organization (SASO), as a national metrology institute, are to maintain, disseminate, develop, and realize the International SI units. Among the services offered by the laboratories is routine calibration, covering nearly all fields and sectors such as industrial, medical, and environmental applications. This work aims to digitize a web-based software application to evaluate the measurement uncertainty associated with a measured quantity for all types of model functions (linear,...

Several strategic initiatives undertaken by the Measurement Standards Laboratory of New Zealand in response to the digital transformation of metrology are discussed. While the laboratory does not currently perceive an external demand for the digital delivery of its metrological services, it recognises that change will be required as global support for digital services becomes the norm. To support the longer-term vision of semantic representation of metrological data, a shift will be required from procedural, process-based knowledge capture towards abstract scientific forms. MSL has several...

The rapid growth of Electric Vehicles (EVs) and Renewable Energy Communities (RECs) introduces new challenges in energy management and requires innovative solutions for enhancing local self-consumption. This paper introduces a Virtual Partitioning Algorithm (VPA) for the energy storage systems of EVs, aiming to improve EVs integration within RECs. The VPA improves the use of the available EV storage capacity to increase the economic benefits, and the shared energy of a REC equipped with residential photovoltaic systems or other renewable energy sources. The proposed approach is tested on a...
