Thomas D. Hedberg, Moneer M. Helu, Allison Barnard Feeney
Data is collected from the Manufacturing Lab using the MTConnect standard. That data is aggregated and published internally and externally of NIST via web services. Three channels of data dissemination are available or becoming available from the SMS Test

Promoting Model-Based Definition to Establish a Common Information Model

June 28, 2016
Author(s)
Shawn P. Ruemler, Kyle E. Zimmerman, Nathan W. Hartman, Thomas D. Hedberg Jr., Allison Barnard Feeney
The manufacturing industry is evolving and starting to use 3D models as the central knowledge artifact for product data and product definition, or what is known as Model-based Definition (MBD). The Model-based Enterprise (MBE) uses MBD as a way to

Interoperability: linking design and tolerancing with metrology

June 2, 2016

Ed Morse, Saeed Heysiattalab, Allison Barnard Feeney, Thomas D. Hedberg Jr.
On October 30, 2014 the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) approved QIF v 2.0 (Quality Information Framework, version 2.0) as an American National Standard. Subsequently in early 2016 QIF version 2.1 was approved. This paper describes how the QIF

Testing the Digital Thread in Support of Model-Based Manufacturing and Inspection

March 8, 2016
Author(s)
Thomas D. Hedberg, Joshua Lubell, Lyle Fischer, Larry Maggiano, Allison Barnard Feeney
A number of manufacturing companies have reported anecdotal evidence describing the benefits of Model-Based Enterprise (MBE). Based on this evidence, the entire industry has embraced a vision to deploy MBE. In our view, the best chance of realizing this

SIMULATION-BASED DESIGN CONCEPT EVALUATION FOR AMBULANCE PATIENT COMPARTMENTS

July 14, 2015
Author(s)
Deogratias Kibira, Yung-Tsun T. Lee, Jennifer L. Marshall, Allison Barnard Feeney, Larry Avery, Allie Jacobs
To address the inadequacy of existing standards regarding interior layout design, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the National Institute for

Ambulance Design Survey 2011: A Summary Report

January 15, 2014
Author(s)
Yung-Tsun T. Lee, Deogratias Kibira, Allison Barnard Feeney, Jennifer L. Marshall
Current ambulance designs are ergonomically inefficient and often times unsafe for practical treatment response to medical emergencies. Thus, the patient compartment of a moving ambulance is a hazardous working environment. As a consequence, emergency

Engineering Change Management Concepts for Systems Modeling

April 22, 2013
Author(s)
Conrad E. Bock, Allison Barnard Feeney
A significant cost of manufactured systems arises in changing system specifications after they have been built and delivered to customers. This might be due to errors in the original specifications, feedback from customers, competition from other producers
