Creating a common basis for the successful implementation of digitalisation tools

Investigation of existing and emerging standards, practices, resources, and developments relevant to digitalisation in temperature metrology — including the Digital SI, European DCCs, digital mise-en-pratiques, and relevant vocabularies/ontologies.

Gathers information on implementation processes, digitalisation practices, tools and data formats currently used by participant NMIs/DIs — reviewing and selecting the most diverse structures to cover the most common scenarios.

Analyses findings from A1.1.1 and A1.1.2 to produce a summary report on the most common emerging standards, practices, resources, and digitalisation tools relevant to temperature measurement and dissemination.

Creates a communication plan that forms the blueprint for interaction with national accreditation bodies — primarily those of project participants — to align strategies on ISO 17025 and digitalisation.

Maps at least three implementation scenarios reflecting the diversity of internal organisation structures, service offerings, and customer profiles — providing reference cases for typical NMIs/DIs.

Applies the digitalisation procedures and tools selected in A1.1.2/A1.1.3 and the scenarios from A1.2.1 to develop generic workflow templates for a calibration service (radiation and contact thermometry).

Evaluates the workflow templates and developed workflow charts via a pilot study implemented with at least four test customers/stakeholders.

Analyses the implemented workflows from the customer/stakeholder pilots to optimise the established process and identify weaknesses.

Produces a report based on A1.2.4 summarising findings, recommendations, and the scenarios, tools, and stress tests applied to support practical implementation of digitalisation in thermometry laboratories.

Creates a recommendation document on how to implement digitalisation tools, software, and hardware — including the integration of the Digital SI and DCC — using inputs from A1.1.3 and A1.2.5.

Uses input from the Stakeholder Committee (A5.1.1) to optimise the digitalisation of services based on stakeholders' practical experience; presents the optimised procedures from A1.2.4 and the report from A1.2.5 as discussion basis.

Creates a learning repository (by M4) covering standards, workflow charts, code, and demos — accessible with widely used learning frameworks, evolving throughout the project.

Delivers at least two in-person trainings (hosted by NSAI and SMU) on integrating digitalisation tools, with practical examples of implementation in temperature laboratories.
