| Summary: | Metrology has a key position in networked, adaptive
production, with the task of a holistic and valid assessment of the state of various
production scenarios. With the diminishing focus on a device-specific
development towards an adaptive production network, which is less
hierarchical in the sense of the <q>Internet of production</q>, and with the focus on
the properties of cyber-physical systems (CPSs), new opportunities for
the strengthening of metrology arise. Characteristic of these CPSs are
sensors for multi-modal data acquisition, actuators for interaction with the
environment, distributed computing power and the ability to spontaneously or
permanently network itself. They form the basis for the creation of a
<q>digital shadow</q> and thus are essential components of a model for process
control. Current trends and challenges for metrology in networked
production, such as multi-sensor systems, model-based measurements, virtual
measurement processes or the integration into adaptable production systems,
broaden the boundaries of future requirements of metrology, in particular
with regard to its flexibility, speed and compatibility. A prerequisite is
a scalable, specifiable information fusion. A solution to this is the
service-based provision of sensor information, measurement data and
decisions, which can be flexibly adapted to task-specific requirements. For
this concept of <q>sensor information as a service</q>, development stages and
prerequisites for its implementation as well as affected areas are discussed. |
