Metrology for Digital Transformation

Department 9.4

Tasks

Projects and plans in the area of digitisation are strongly interdisciplinary. Therefore, the implementation of these projects often requires novel approaches to project organisation. For example, the realisation of a continuous digital workflow for metrological services requires an agile project approach since it is now well understood within the field of computer engineering that the full, accurate and unambiguous requirements are rarely known at the start of a project.

In the same way, the implementation of a future-proof research data management system at PTB is a task that none of the specialist departments can carry out alone. In particular, the high pace of change of external influencing factors and the complexity of the projects bring the existing division of labour and project organisation to their limits.

The department “Metrology for the Digital Transformation” supports and complements PTB’s activities in the field of digitisation via targeted cooperation projects and pilots. In doing so, the department actively integrates the competences of the other departments into the project implementation process and thus allows for a flexible and agile way of working. 

Arbeitsweise

Da sich die digitale und grüne Transformation auch auf diese umfassenden Digitalisierungsvorhaben der PTB auswirken, wird eine grundlegende Neudefinition bisheriger Arbeitsteilungen und Projektorganisationsformen im Sinne einer ganzheitlichen Interdisziplinarität erforderlich.

Um beispielsweise einen durchgängig digitalen Workflow für metrologische Dienstleistungen zu realisieren, ist eine abteilungsübergreifende, flexible und agile Arbeitsweise unumgänglich. Konkrete Anforderungen im Rahmen eines "Lastenhefts" werden dabei iterativ im Rahmen eines zirkulären Prozesses Schritt für Schritt definiert. Auch die Umsetzung eines zukunftsfähigen Forschungsdatenmanagements in der PTB können Abteilungen, Fachbereiche und Arbeitsgruppen nur gemeinsam durchführen.

Topic areas

The “Metrology for Sensor Networks” topic includes research projects in areas such as: Industry 4.0; Cities of the Future; Autonomous Driving and Big Data. The projects in this topic area are largely third-party funded and are carried out in association with external research partners.

In terms of content, the work in the "Metrological Services" topic area are focussed on projects to actively drive forward the digital transformation in this area. These include projects for the introduction of digital certificates and for modelling work processes for their efficient digital transformation. The implementation of projects in the area of Opens internal link in current window„QI-Digital“ a long-term project to establish an interoperable digital quality infrastructure, also falls within this topic area.
