Each member reported the development of cooperation among the countries. The measuring traceability has been risen to reach the requirements of International System of Units (SI Units) by the member countries.
The seminar was hosted by NIMT from NIMT, Pathum Thani province on 24 August 2022.
Head of Dimensional Metrology Department Dr.Jariya Buajarern was on behalf of APMP DEC future proofing task force lead organized an online practical meeting on SI Units: Practical realizations and how to assure measurement traceability of second. The objective of the meeting was to update a current status of the measuring standards of second by member countries consisting of Korea, Singapore, India and Thailand.

In the meeting, there were NIMT metrologist Dr.Piyaphat Poonthong from the group of Primary electrical, time and frequency standards, Electrical metrology department, presented the current status of Yttetbium ion optical clock. The meeting was to strengthen international cooperation among member countries. It was assured that measuring standards could be traceability to SI unit. The meting was online from NIMT, Phathum Thani province on 17 August 2022.
Head of Dimensional Metrology Department Dr.Jariya Buajarern and her staff, Dr.Muhummad Madden and Dr.Thammarat Somthong were invited as referees of The 13 Rajamangala National Engineering Academic Competition at the Rajamangala university of Technology Isan Khon Khaen campus. There were 32 student teams competed in field of engineering skills. The students would be used their skills, knowledge and experiences to solve competing problems. The competition was held at the faculty of engineering, the Rajamangla university of Technology Isan Khon Khaen campus on 3 – 5 August 2022.
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.

International Updates: Natthaphon Jarat and Thanakporn Nontachart, International Relations Officer.
NIMT’s Corporation and Partnership Development Group organized an online training on Evaluation of Measurement Uncertainty (Batch 3) between January 28-29, 2021, from Matra Dhamrong building, NIMT, Pathum Thani.
Dr. Jariya Buajarern, Head of Dimensional Metrology Department
In the online room
On this training, Dr. Jariya Buajarern, Head of Dimensional Metrology Department, was a trainer. She gave a lecture on Evaluation of Measurement Uncertainty according to Guide to the expression of Uncertainty in Measurement (GUM) to the participants from public and private sectors. After finished this training, the participants would be able to understand well to the method of Evaluation of Measurement Uncertainty and would be able to apply for testing result or calibration report issuance correctly.
