NIMT invited Khun Sirorat Thonhamkaew as technical expert from TISI and international technical expert Dr.Yon Kyu Park from KRISS. The meeting was held from NIMT Pathum Thani province on 4-8 July 2022.
Mrs. Ajchara Charoensook Director of NIMT, together with her staff, Dr. Chaiwat Jassadajin Head of Primary Electrical, Time and Frequency Group and Dr.-Ing. Narudom Noulkhow Head of Corporation and Partnership Development Group were speakers under the cooperation activity for metrology system development in the project of Reinventing University in order to support developing ReSkill & UpSkill potential on “Metrology for students, university staff and entrepreneurs”. It was taught in accordance with the introduction of metrology for scientist curriculum on 6 – 7 July 2022 at Suphannika meeting room, Kamphaengphet Rajabhat University, Kamphaengphet province. This curriculum has consisted of 3 topics, namely, 1) Metrology and Quality System, 2) Metrology and Measuring Equipment Management, and 3) the introduction of Measuring Uncertainty. Those who have passed this curriculum will earn a certificate from NIMT. This curriculum will increase skills on metrology to the students, university staff and entrepreneurs to be prepared for the labour market and enhance productivity in the industrial sectors.

Khao Yai National Park, the Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation has carried out a prototype project to enhance the environmental quality affected by air and noise vehicles. In order to integrate with similar duty agencies, namely, Acoustics and Vibration Group National Institute of Metrology (NIMT), Pollution Control Department (PCD), and the Regional Environment Office 11 Nakhon Ratchasima jointly organized activities at Khao Yai National Park on 7-8 July 2022.
For this matter, Head of Khao Yai National Park Mr. Chaiya Huayhongthong assigned to Assistant Head of Khao Yai National Park Mr. Termsak Noinarai and his officers welcomed Group leader of Acoustics and Vibration Mr.Pairoj Rattanangkul, NIMT metrologists and PCD officers.
Mr.Tersak led 135 national park vehicles to check for black smoke and noise measurements by NIMT and PCD. It is a pilot and prototype project to reduce the environmental impact from the vehicles to screen them before entering the conservation area which is a standard ecotourism place in order to reduce the impact on the quality of life of wildlife Tourism. The project is called the “Government Cars reduce Pollution” project which encourages the use of government vehicles by not-supporting air and noise emissions lower than the standards criteria. It corresponds to the plan of action on resolving the pollution of PM2.5 caused by incomplete combustion. The project runs under the research physical property in the metrology of the cheapest noise meters that comply with the standards and function to vehicle noise meters.
NIMT welcomed Asst.Prof.Dr.Yingyot Infahsaeng, head of the department of physics, Faculty of Science and Technology, Thammasart University (TU) and his fellows to visit NIMT metrological laboratories on June 29, 2022 at Phadung Matra building, NIMT. On this occasion, Dr.Sivinee Sawadi-Aree, head of electrical metrology department and Dr.Piyapat Phoonthong, senior metrologist jointly welcomed visitors and had a meeting to discuss about quantum technology research between two agencies. It underlined on the topic of quantum technology 2.0. Besides that, two agencies talked and exchange the possibility to tie a cooperation on quantum for the future creative innovation. The quantum will be initiate new technology and support to develop new qualification that must keep an eye on.
Metrology for Digital Transformation Workshop “DCC– Applications and future developments” Digital transformation is the process of using digital technologies to create new or modify existing business processes, culture, and customer experiences to meet changing business and market requirements. This reimagining of business in the digital age is digital transformation. Digital transformation creates new possibilities for your organization with innovative products and services, better ways of working, and nimble organizational models. Often, digital transformation fails because organizations focus solely on technology—and do not pay as much attention to people and processes.
As the APMP Developing Economies’ Committee (DEC) is responsible for initiating and coordinating work programs to address the needs of APMP member Developing Economy NMIs (DENs), working together with other APMP bodies/Committees as appropriate. It is the objective of the Future Proofing Taskforce to support DENs to adapt, adopt and engage in new technologies in order to
• Improve their ability to address customers’ needs using new technologies applied to metrology services;
• Increase societal benefits through access and use of advances in metrology;
• Increase their ability to support their stakeholders through access to external capabilities (including traceability to the re-defined SI) and services that are fit-for-purpose in the changing external environment of technological and industrial innovation.
This project will seek for supports and expertise from PTB on strategic planning of metrology for digital transformation. This project is proposed to provide a broader view for NMIs to determine our role for the digitalization of the economy and society. It will involve knowledge transfer and experience sharing with APMP DEC members.
The digitalization of metrology poses a challenge to all members of the metrology community. Conventional calibration certificates could soon be a thing of the past. Metrology institutes and calibration laboratories worldwide could in future use “digital calibration certificates” (DCC) instead of analog versions. Above all, machine readability would significantly support manufacturing and quality monitoring processes, where digitalization is becoming increasingly prevalent. The aim is to develop universal exchange formats throughout the metrology sector.
The aim of this workshop is to provide an overview of the prototype digital calibration certificate. The role of calibration certificates will be explained and the differences between paper-based and digital calibration certificates will be described. All specifications of the digital calibration certificate; security aspects; will be discussed.
Project aims and the target group:
1. Participants gain a comprehensive overview of the digital transformation and how metrology can make contribution to the need of country due to digital transformation.
2. Participants could contribute knowledge they gain from workshop to deploy digital technology to improve their capabilities and to the further development to their country.
The Dimensional metrology department who is responsible for using the metrology system to digital transformation organized the online talking event on the topic of “Introduction to UiPath in Robotic Process Automation (RPA)” to NIMT staff members who were interested in RPA. The objective of the event was to develop the related knowledge and working skills to the NIMT staff members. They would be able to apply this knowledge for utilizing to their works. The event was held at NIMT, Pathum Thani province on June 22, 2022.
NIMT Corporation and Partnership Development Group organised a metrology course on the topic of “Monitoring of Quality Systems in the Laboratory, Class 2” to educate the trainees who are interested in applying the knowledge for requesting laboratory quality systems according to ISO/IEC 17025. The trainees came from both public and private sectors. Trainers for this course were Head of Mechanical Metrology Department Mr. Wirun Laopornpichayanuwat and metrologist of Primary Thermometry Standard Group Ms.Panatda Panpech. After this course, the trainees gained knowledge about General Requirements for the Competence of Testing and Calibration Laboratories, ISO/IEC 17025:2017 (E) as well as monitoring of laboratory quality systems which is able to apply for their workplace systematically. The course was held by virtual meeting at NIMT Pathum Thani province.
Mrs. Thasorn Singhaneti, Head of Temperature Scale Dissemination and Humidity Group, together with her member, Dr. Oijai Ongrai, metrologist welcomed Mrs. Phalinee Prabpaipan, Manager of Calibration Department, and team from Technology Promotion Association (Thailand-Japan) or TPA came and visited at calibration laboratory of temperature measurement instruments. TPA asked for advice on calibration of temperature instruments. After visited NIMT, TPA was able to increase the knowledge to the member in the association. The meeting was held at Phadung Matra building NIMT, Pathum Thani
