                                       The Automotive Industry Action Group and the National Institute of
                                       Standards and Technology partnered to develop the first-ever
                                       dimensional markup language (DML), which is a common global
                                       language specification for metrology system interfaces. The team
                                       also developed an interoperable implementation guide for the new
                                       specification.

                                       The DML will aid measuring components from various metrology
                                       systems connected in a plug-and-play environment while
                                       maintaining 100% data integrity. It helps allow metrology
                                       subsystems to talk to one another, even if they come from different
                                       vendors.

                                       AIAG is addressing the current void of seamless data exchange in
                                       dimensional metrology and inspection systems used in the
                                       automotive industry to improve dimensional integrity in vehicles.
                                       This has limited manufacturers in their ability to effectively build
                                       and operate measurement systems, often resulting in extended
                                       reprogramming of these systems. The organization aims to bridge
                                       the gap among existing multiple global standards that are not
                                       robust enough or provide true interoperability.
