Abstract

A description how the Quality Information Framework (QIF) can be used for a secure interoperable standard to exchange metrology equipment calibration certificate information. This presentation will include an overview of the work being done globally in the PTB National Metrology Institute (Germany) on Digital Calibration Certificates and the need to harmonize with QIF.

Robert Brown received a BS in Physics from the University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee and an MBA from the Northern Illinois University. 25 years of experience in metrology and manufacturing specializing in MeasurLink application development for quality data acquisition, management, and analysis. He serves as a chair of the DMSC/QIF Statistics Working Group. Robert co-authored the book Information Modeling for Interoperable Dimensional Metrology. Current responsibilities include managing software research and systems development at Mitutoyo America Corporation.

Ed Morse After receiving his BS from Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania, Ed Morse spent four years pursuing personal interests before earning a Master of Engineering degree from Cornell University. Ed then worked for the Brown and Sharpe Manufacturing Company for four years, first as an application engineer for CMM software, and then in the Advanced Systems group. In 1993 he returned to graduate school at Cornell, receiving his MS and PhD. Since 1999, Dr. Morse has been a professor of mechanical engineering at UNC Charlotte, pursuing research in both tolerancing and metrology. Recent interests include extending his experience to large-scale metrology systems (Laser Trackers, LIDAR systems, and Photogrammetry). Specialties: Dimensional Metrology, Coordinate Measuring Machines, Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing, and Statistical Process Control

The Digital Metrology Standards Consortium (DMSC) member QIF End Users & Solution Providers present QIF Tech Series topics monthly through November 2022.

The webinar series will focus on QIF-centric topics and related subjects related to Digital Manufacturing such as Model-Based Enterprise (MBE), Model-Based Definition (MBD), GD&T and more. The 20-30 minute presentations may be introductory level or more advanced content, and are intended to educate a broad variety of QIF implementers or future users. There will be a 15 minute Q & A session after each of the presentations.

Webinar technical content is provided by both QIF End Users and QIF Solution Providers with the goal of sharing real-life QIF or related implementations by advanced manufacturing operations.
