    Study Notes

    Future Metrology Hub: Enhancing Precision and Automation in Manufacturing

    • Metrology is the infrastructure for manufacturing, and advanced metrology is being used to enhance the precision and automation of robotic machining systems.
    • The Future Metrology Hub is one of 13 EPSRC Future Manufacturing Hubs focused on the measurement of features related to physical manufacturing, with over 70 academic and industrial partners.
    • Accuracy in manufacturing is a fundamental requirement, with traditional product verification processes typically accounting for 10-20% of finished product costs, representing over £15 billion per year in the UK alone.
    • The Hub is led by Professor Dame Jane Yang and focuses on creating groundbreaking embedded metrology and universal metrology informatics to be applied in a closed smart manufacturing environment.
    • The Sheffield spoke of the Hub is focused on metrology informatics and the extraction of maximal information from product and in-process data to provide a health assessment of the parts being manufactured.
    • The Hub has developed an advanced language that machines can read and interpret called the Category Semantic Language, and mathematics underpins the process of analyzing and interpreting measurement data.
    • The Hub is developing ultra-high-speed 3D vision systems based on fringe projection and developing a form of lidar-like radar to achieve precise distance measurements of better than one-tenth of a micrometer.
    • The Hub's research has led to innovation in the use of advanced metrology to increase the precision and automation of robotic machining, with a focus on aerospace manufacturing.
