Manufacturing industries undergo rapid digital transformation and Model-Based Enterpsie (MBE) is emerging as a key enabler for targeting high efficiency, precision, and automation. At the same time, metrology—the science of measurement is also under development to meet the challenges of digital manufacturing. Processes need to remain reliable, traceable, and adaptable to changes in real-world conditions. The European Metrology Network (EMN) for Smart Manufacturing is driving the development to keep an industrially Strategic Research Agenda that aligns metrology innovation with the needs modern manufacturing. The Nordic Model Based Enterprise Forum in Malmö will bring vital input to that agenda. Our goal is to support the industry vision in realizing the “zero defect, zero delay, zero surprise, and zero waste” in new projects to develop and demonstrate fast, reliable, sustainable, and fully digitalized metrology technologies. The EMN Task Group on Smart Manufacturing Systems plays a vital role in integrating metrology in MBE. We want to ensure that measurement processes and quality assurance are seamlessly embedded into digital models. Through real-time, model-driven validation and decision-making, this synergy supports automated, adaptive, and intelligent manufacturing systems.
