Abstract
Previous chapters have introduced information modeling techniques, dimensional metrology systems and their elements, as well as proprietary and standard data models for each type of dimensional metrology activity. We have addressed the importance of having interoperability within each element of a dimensional metrology system. From an enterprise perspective, the lack of information interoperability becomes a more impeding issue in the competing global market causing the loss of product information integrity in addition to the increase of time and cost in product development. The US automotive industry reported that costs due to translation of measurement data between manufacturing quality systems amounted to over $600 million annually. When considering the cost of data translation between measurement planning and execution systems across the entire manufacturing processes, the number could be easily over billions. This chapter will provide an in depth discussion on interoperability issues across a dimensional metrology system. The standard data models developed in isolation for each element of dimensional metrology systems (introduced in previous chapters) will be analyzed and compared in detail to produce a roadmap for harmonization of standards efforts in achieving interoperability in dimensional metrology industry.
