Pornchai Suteerakune, Director of the National Institute of Metrology (Thailand), who delivered welcoming remarks and highlighted the crucial role of metrology in supporting digital transformation: “Metrology underpins confidence in every quality system. Digital transformation is therefore a mission that all countries must work together on, to ensure that standard-based data is reliable, interoperable, and ready to support the new digital economy.”
Key Objectives of the Event
- Raising awareness of the importance of digital transformation in metrology systems : The event emphasized the roles of metrology in the digital era and the need for interoperable quality infrastructure built upon standardized data.
