QIF QIF (Quality Information Framework) was elevated from an ANSI standard based on XML to ISO 23952:2020 in August 2020. DMSC is a member supported organization.

With MBD, it enables the capture, use, and re-use of metrology-related information in manufacturing. Digital Metrology Standards Consortium is responsible for the maintenance and updating of ISO 23952:2020 QIF (Quality Information Framework standard) as well as DMIS (Dimensional Measuring Interface Standard). Any organization involved in manufacturing and metrology, academia, or software integrati

on is encouraged to contact Mark Thomas, Executive Director of the DMSC about membership and participation in our standards maintenance and advancement as it relates to metrology: [email protected]

What happens when Model-Based Definition data isn’t validated early?

Errors can ripple through manufacturing, quality, and downstream workflows, creating costly rework and weakening trust in the Digital Thread. In his session, Closing the Gaps: Unifying Standards for Enterprise-Ready MBD , Evan Kessick explores how stronger MBD validation and unified standards can help ensure product definition data is truly enterprise-ready.

Manufacturing data shouldn’t disappear once production ends.

Trais McAllister explores how historical MTConnect can capture and preserve shop-floor data for long-term use across the supply chain. This session demonstrates how open standards can support LOTAR objectives, strengthen traceability, and enable manufacturing data to propagate beyond the originating facility.

How do you bridge the gap between model-based design and the manufactured part?

Ben Urick's presentation, From MBD to Production: A Standards-Driven, Model-Based Path to Digital Validation and Traceability, explores a standards-driven approach to connecting MBD with real-world production through digital twin representations derived from inspection and measurement data. By leveraging open standards like STEP AP242, QIF, and MTConnect, this approach strengthens traceability and enables a more trustworthy Digital Thread.
