Education and training in coordinate metrology for industry towards digital manufacturing

Abstract

Today manufacturing industry is based on multiple suppliers located in different countries and continents, intensively using automation, data exchange and advanced manufacturing technologies embedded in the digital era, and a number of national and international initiatives (e.g. Industrie 4.0) are devoted to support this effort. New opportunities to advance manufacturing of high value products are based on innovating the measuring technologies and procedures for Geometrical Quality Control, in particular addressing the training needs since having well trained professionals is an important key of success for manufacturing companies in several sectors. The paper is summarising recent experience in the field, with quantification of learning success related to the implementation of remote workshops.
