[SKL-UPMT X ISE Distinguished Research Seminar Series] Proposed New Structure for Geometrical Product Specifications and Verification

The International Standards Organisation Technical Committee 213 (ISO/TC 213) on Geometrical Product Specification and Verification (GPS), asked me as chairman of Advisory Group 12 (AG12 the Mathematics of GPS) to prepare documents to plan for the future of the GPS System. It is important that the ISO GPS standards have a sound mathematical basis in order that they are ready for the increasing digitization within industry.

The core concerns are the anticipated changes to the GPS system required to embrace the future in both the structure of the next generation GPS system, as well as making GPS a science and will allow smart documents to be usable by both Humans and Smart Systems (Cobots), in particular:

1. Develop a formal, logical and mathematical structure for the work of ISO TC213 and the development of its standards.
2. Allow the ISO GPS system to be well founded being based on rigorous scientific principles.
3. Provide an organized ‘flow’ to the way standards reference each other (structure).
4. Implement developments in AI (‘Smart’ Documents).
