QIF 4.0 is in development. What is QIF? At first glance, QIF, or Quality Information Framework, seems to be a lofty idea that your boss makes you follow throughout your production cycle. However, QIF is rather simple to understand. It is a unified XML framework that guides computer-aided quality measurement systems, which in turn enables […]
Quality Information Framework: ANSI QIF 2.0 Revealed
Incompatibilities in manufacturing quality digital information are costly and affect everyone involved. Fortunately, a significant breakthrough for digital manufacturing was realized in the new Quality Information Framework (QIF) standard, approved by ANSI in October 2014. The QIF is a unified XML framework standard for computer-aided quality measurement systems, enabling the capture, use, and re-use of metrology-related […]
