VTT MIKES offers metrology expert services for industry needs
We provide our expertise in creating industrial calibration procedures and systems for companies. For example, we can help your company to:
- Identify the instruments that need to be included in the calibration program and realisation of SI-traceability
- Review and clarify needs for uncertainty levels, calibration instructions and other quality documentation
- Assure the precision of your machine tools
- Evaluate your measurement system with RR-tests
Case: VTT’s analysis significantly improved accuracy of measurement results from planet Mars
When VTT started working with Finnish Meteorological Institute on measurement data collected on Mars, the goal was to estimate uncertainty levels. As a result of VTT’s error compensation model, the project exceeded expectations, and VTT’s researchers were able to considerably reduce the uncertainty levels of the measurements.
