6 CONCLUSIONS
Research and applications of digital measurement
technologies have stimulated the development of
digital manufacturing technologies; in the meantime,
the methods of measuring planning become critical
problems to be resolved in measuring process.
Knowledge-supported measurement planning makes
not only the process formatted, and also for manu-
facturers to improve product quality and reduce
manufacturing cost.
A measuring process model was proposed with a
definition of general measurement space. The model
has three dimensions to classify and integrate meas-
uring process knowledge. Through analyzing the
contents and forms of different knowledge, the ap-
proaches of knowledge expression and management
have been discussed. Finally, a feasible way for
evaluating and optimizing measurement plan based
on measuring process knowledge was explored.
Future work will focus on historical data collect-
ing, database constructing and evaluation of charac-
teristics relation matrix, in order to realize
knowledge-based digital measurement planning.
