Digital transformation: Ensuring metrological traceability

Abstract

The digital transformation project for the calibration and testing laboratories of INTA is presented. It is intended to serve as the institute's single platform for integrating knowledge, capabilities and innovative metrology techniques, quality and testing systems, to produce highly efficient and reliable results while ensuring metrological traceability of R + D + i results. It provides the necessary data for decision support and aims to address many current issues faced by laboratories and testing centres. The project is developed across the following action areas: (a) Automation of quality assurance for measurements according to ISO/IEC 17043 standard; (b) Automation of data capture and analysis of calibration procedures for the Metrology and Calibration Centre (CMC) and various tests; (c) Digital services for remote auditing of measurement and testing services in accordance with ISO/IEC 17025 and ISO/IEC 17043 standards; (d) Evolution towards the flexibility and expansion of parameterization of the different modules to facilitate implementation in any type of INTA and Ministry of Defence (MoD) laboratories.
