<p>All,<br>
<br>
The conference call is at the regular times this Wednesday. The
proposed agenda is as follows:</p>
1. Build Here, Build Now, Build Right challenge for IMTS 2018 and
JIMTOF 2018 (see attachment).<br>
<br>
2. Inclusion of QIF in the work scope of WG15 - a federated
architecture for STEP-Manufacturing?<br>
<ul>
<li> STEP excels at product modeling which requires a large
investment and needs stability to maintain the value of that
investment.</li>
<li>MTConnect excels at process monitoring which requires real
time, time-stamps and a data model that is easy to process.<br>
</li>
<li>QIF excels at reporting which requires a rich, flexible data
model that can explain the reasons for a report.<br>
</li>
</ul>
The proposal is to use MTConnect as a "Part 28" for communicating
model changes between STEP and QIF, and thereby enabling CNC
machines to make real time corrections using reports from CMM
machines.<br>
<br>
3. Assistance for completion of AP242 Edition 2.<br>
