WP4 - Metrology-driven Control for Manufacturing Systems
THEME ONE
Embedded Metrology Foundations
WP4 Spectral Metrology-driven Control for Manufacturing Systems
This WP aims to achieve in-process measurements in highly perturbed machine environments and to improve traceability for long term embedded sensing. This forms a key contributor to one of the main HUB aims of transferring conventional lab-based metrology to fully embedded metrology for high-value production.
By aligning with Theme I, Objective 3 and Objective 4, WP4.2 aims to improve the embedded sensor network robustness and reliability based on fundamental studying and modelling of the uncertainty of multi-type embedded sensors.
