METROLOGICAL SUPPORT OF INTEGRATED MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS IN EU COUNTRIES

Abstract

The article examines metrological support of integrated control systems (ICS) as one of the key factors in improving the accuracy and reliability of technical processes. The efficiency of modern technological systems largely depends on the level of measurement accuracy, which is ensured through reliable metrological methods. In particular, measurement accuracy is crucial for maintaining stable equipment operation, optimizing production processes, and minimizing the risks of emergency situations.
The main challenges in ensuring metrological accuracy include the integration of heterogeneous measuring systems, error minimization, and data unification. The integration of different systems is complicated due to differences in data formats, operating principles, and measurement accuracy levels of the devices. Errors can occur both during data collection and processing, posing significant risks. Data unification ensures a consistent approach to information analysis, which is critical for comprehensive management of technical processes.
Based on the analysis of modern approaches and methods, several solutions have been proposed to enhance the effectiveness of metrological support. In particular, the integration of standardized measuring devices that comply with international norms and standards ensures compatibility within ICS. Regular calibration of equipment helps maintain high measurement accuracy over the long term. In addition, automated real-time parameter monitoring contributes to the timely detection of deviations and the prevention of potential system failures.
The results of the study show that the implementation of modern approaches to metrological support allows for an increase in measurement accuracy up to 0.1% and a reduction in equipment failure rates by 15–20%. This not only improves the efficiency of production processes but also reduces maintenance and repair costs. Thus, metrological support plays a vital role in ensuring the reliable and stable operation of integrated control systems.
