6.5 Retrieve measurement results

A higher-level system would like to receive the measurement results (incl. meta-data) for a part in order to

correct/adjust the program in the machine tool

be able to guarantee complete traceability of the workpiece

reject or rework the workpiece, if necessary

release the products

optimize the product

interpret the product (e.g., statistical analyses)

check the product quality

Figure 15 shows a typical communication between GMS, operator, and high-level system to retrieve measurement results as a sequence diagram.
