Hi Akram,<br><br>
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.<br><br>
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!<br><br>
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.<br><br>
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. <br><br>

able to make some time today and thought I should get you the AIAG
proposed agenda for the Industry Day. <br>
<br>
I think Wednesday October 25 will work for us as you guys have a very
full agenda on other days. I recommend scheduling the AIAG agenda after
lunch for continuity and this also gives us a chance to be able to fly in
and out the same day.<br>
<br>
I am excited about the opportunity of getting the automotive industry
back in the loop on our TC 184 activities. The panel discussion at the
end should provide us with the chance to have some open dialogue and
maybe establish some future activities where we can collaborate
closely.<br>
<br>
<br>
Please confirm if this is workable. My volunteers need to put this on
their calendars.<br>
<br>
Kind Regards,<br>
