We reviewed the digital thread video: https://youtu.be/Mjzg5nku5Lg

We discussed the integration of AP242 and ISO 13399. The key benefit is 
that it allows the tooling properties to be shown on a tool model. We 
agreed that model based tools should be used for the February demonstration.

We discussed the scenario for the February demonstration. Detecting a 
power surge due to excessive tool wear is problematic for small tools. 
Therefore, we decided to measure the tool wear using the elapsed 
manufacturing time.

Measuring part using calipers is also problematic because it requires 
operator intervention. Therefore, we will measure using on machine probe 
cycles. We would like to report the probe results using MTConnect. This 
will require new tags to be inserted into the MTConnect data stream.

The next conference call will be held at the regular times on Wednesday 
November 16th.
