Digital transformation will promote the development of all areas of socio-economic life in new directions, including the field of measurement.
The term “digital transformation” is used more with the “rise” of digital technologies. The “intervention” of data and machines in production and business processes is increasingly through digital interfaces. This opens up new communication capabilities, new business areas, thereby forming new fields of research and industry.
However, new challenges also appear. Converting current initiatives, standards and approaches to digital for global connectivity is not always feasible. For example, in the field of measurement, sensor manufacturers are always working to help improve the measurement capabilities of each measuring device.
In the future, digital transformation technology will impact many fields
Therefore, sensors are rapidly developing in the direction of becoming increasingly intelligent and capable of data integration. This poses a major challenge in terms of operational alignment in measuring instrument calibration. Testing and calibration activities will no longer be managed as a pure measurement method.
According to society’s needs, digital solutions in scientific measurement will be increasingly applied in legal measurement (such as cloud computing, remote maintenance…). On the contrary, many processes and regulations in legal measurement will be important content for scientific measurement.
For example, measuring devices that apply “excessively” high security measures will have difficulty “appearing” on the market. This same thing can be envisioned in regulatory metrology where manufacturers voluntarily adopt many modern digital solutions. Conformity assessment activities will require strict principles of data exchange, processing, inspection and testing methods… The “interaction” between scientific measurement and legal measurement will be the foundation. Platform that facilitates digital transformation in measurement.
Digital transformation also has a significant impact on the field of measurement.
In the field of precision mechanical engineering, a recent study conducted by the Mechanical Engineering Industry Association (VDMA) has shown that 25% of businesses operating in the mechanical field Precision gas has been applying new digital technologies such as cloud computing services. These businesses believe that benefits from new digital technology will lead to improved competitiveness of industries.
The medical field is also greatly influenced by the breakthrough developments of digital transformation. In biotechnology, innovative digitalization initiatives have created raw materials and catalysts in new production processes. These initiatives are implemented in Cross-Sectoral and Inter-Disciplinary cooperation projects for each specific field. For example, the Cross-Sectoral Networks in Bio-Economics with common goals and ICT infrastructure aims to develop innovative platforms for resource and energy efficiency. results, as well as building and developing new biological products and processes…
Measurement also reduces the need for testing using statistical quality control techniques, which means medical professionals save time performing tests, receive accurate and fast results, and At the same time, it reduces the cost of the testing process, increases hospital productivity and detects symptoms faster.
In addition, promote activities: measuring and calibrating Covid-19 testing equipment, testing and assembling ventilators… from which each country’s National Metrology Institutes set up testing activities such as Canada , China, US, and UK.
