Founded in 2005, the Digital Metrology Standards Consortium (DMSC) is a non-profit standards organisation specialising in digital metrology and manufacturing quality data interoperability. It develops and maintains the Quality Information Framework (QIF) and Dimensional Measuring Interface Standard (DMIS). QIF uses an open, XML-based structure to exchange inspection plans, measurement results, product geometry and quality information across engineering systems. Recognised as ISO 23952:2020, it supports traceability, automated inspection and the digital thread. DMSC promotes international adoption among manufacturers, metrology specialists and industrial software providers.
The Digital Metrology Standards Consortium (DMSC, Inc.) is pleased to announce an update to the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the MTConnect® Institute. The original MoU was signed in 2011. As technology has evolved, both organizations recognize an even greater need to optimize the way industrial software and machines work together, to encourage manufacturing standards development, and to use data modeling to enable information interoperability by specifying the content of specific information and where it is stored – all with the goal of improving manufacturing efficiency.
