[step-manufacturing] Re: ISO Industry Day Proposed Agenda

[Martin Hardwick]

Hi Akram,

We received criticism in Toulouse because our STEP-Manufacturing 
presentations went on for too long.  I would like to avoid this 
problem in Hershey so I am wondering if there is a way that we can 
make the second half of the agenda more collaborative.

In particular, I know a lot of industry is becoming frustrated 
because there is no IMPLEMENTED standard for defining tolerance 
information. In STEP-Manufacturing we need these tolerances for 
AP-238 closed loop machining, and AP-219 results of dimensional 
inspection. I expect you need these tolerances for several of your 
metrology standards as well!

The level of frustration has reached a level where there is now 
interest in OMAC and STEP-Manufacturing for putting together an 
HMI/API for creating the tolerance data. We would use the HMI to 
create the (XML) tolerance data for closed loop machining 
applications. If the AIAG metrology team were able to use the same 
HMI to create data for dimensional inspection then we might be able 
to use the synergy to encourage the proper implementation of the 
required data within CAD, CNC and CMM systems.

Could we use the second half of the day to discuss this in more 
detail? Perhaps you could bring a representative part to the meeting 
so that we could discuss how to define the required information. We 
can do the same for a closed loop machining STEP-NC part. I think the 
meeting would be a great success if we could conclude the day with a 
list of say the top 10 items that need to be implemented in the new 
HMI/API to cover 80% of the cases and enable its use in seed 
applications for machining and inspection.
