Fulfilling clients' measurement quality needs
by providing products and services that conform to measurement standards
In October 1996, Azbil Corporation established the Measurement Standards Center (now the Measurement Standards Section) in the Fujisawa Plant (now the Fujisawa Technology Center) in Fujisawa City, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan. From the start of the Measurement Standards Section to the present day, it has been the National Metrology Institute of Japan (NMIJ) of the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) that has supported the development of the azbil Group's measurement standards, by giving appropriate advice. The aim of NMIJ is to establish national metrology standards and provide them to society. On this occasion, Takashi Usuda, who leads the field of metrology standards in Japan as the Director of NMIJ, & Hideaki Ishii, Managing Corporate Executive in charge of research and development at Azbil Corporation, talked with each other about the past, present and future of measurement standards.
