The New Era of Metrology: What Lies Ahead for National Metrology Institutes?

This article examines the strategic implications of the 28th General Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM) for the future of National Metrology Institutes. It focuses particularly on the digital transformation of the global metrology system and explores how developments such as Digital Calibration Certificates, machine-readable SI information, artificial intelligence, medical AI, sensor networks, cyber-physical systems, time and frequency metrology, and space activities may reshape the role of NMIs. The article proposes that the future measurement chain will increasingly extend beyond calibration and measurement results towards algorithms, decisions and physical actions:

Abstract

This article examines the strategic implications of the 28th General Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM) for the future of National Metrology Institutes. It focuses particularly on the digital transformation of the global metrology system and explores how developments such as Digital Calibration Certificates, machine-readable SI information, artificial intelligence, medical AI, sensor networks, cyber-physical systems, time and frequency metrology, and space activities may reshape the role of NMIs. The article proposes that the future measurement chain will increasingly extend beyond calibration and measurement results towards algorithms, decisions and physical actions:
