They will also be involved in development work related to hardware and software for machines designed to monitor and interpret information and successfully incorporate measuring systems. In order to address these challenges, the technology centre will analyse and pay close attention to critical parameters affecting production process activities such as the size of a part or a machine tool or the type of measuring technology used. A multiple consortium with only one goal The MH2020 project is being carried out under the Hazitek 2016 Programme, funded by the Regional Ministry for Economic Development and Competitiveness of the Basque Government to support the imple- mentation of R&D projects in the Basque Autonomous Community (BAC). The initiative is being carried out by a consortium made up of the following companies: Juaristi, Goratu, Soraluce, Fagor Automation, Gometegui, Unimetrik and Ekide and members of the Basque Science, Technology and Innovation Nertwork: Innovalia Metrology, Aotek, Vicomtech-IK4 and IK4-Ideko, together with IK4-Tekniker. The Basque technology centre is cooperating in research & development activities with four of the seven companies involved in the project. • Uncertainties will be allocated to any measurements performed to obtain dimensional traceability. The Basque centre will provide knowledge related to inspection and measuring and design and develop rapid and ef cient checking procedures to reduce downtimes The technology centre will analyse and pay close attention to critical parameters affec- ting production process activities.
