## 1 Introduction  
The quality of industrial products depends on the production machinery, raw materials, and equipment. Properly measuring the dimensions of products is the foundation of manufacturing, and the basic components of the manufacturing process should be designed to meet the desired product specifications [1]. All processes, from the material quality and processing to assembly and quality inspection, are measured and inspected using the same standards to ensure that the products meet the design specifications and quality requirements [2]. Therefore, measuring equipment and instruments play an important role in the industrialization process. If any measurement or inspection is not done properly, the quality cannot be guaranteed [3, 4]. Regular calibration and intermediate checks can detect problems early and ensure the accuracy of measuring equipment. Calibration certificates are important in the field of metrology because they help ensure accurate measurements in manufacturing. These certificates provide information on measurement uncertainty and calibration traceability to users. In the traditional system of calibration certificate management, data collected during the experiment process are error-prone, time-consuming, and difficult to manage because the collected data are based on manual systems [5]. Therefore, modernizing the calibration certificate management process is necessary to improve efficiency and accuracy. In recent years, the rapid advancement of digitalization has brought significant changes to society. The COVID-19 pandemic, also known as the coronavirus pandemic, has further accelerated the digital transformation of human life [6, 7, 8]. Therefore, establishinga reliable data foundation is critical for the development of science and technology in the digital era. Reliable data are obtained from accurate measurement standards, and the digital calibration certificate (DCC) is a tool that can be used for the authenticated transmission, verification, and electronic storage of calibration results [9]. The concept of the DCC structure is being developed by the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB), a German federal institute for physics and technology, and can be applied to all facilities that require metrological traceability of their measurements. To meet the industry's demands for large amounts of data, real-time response, and digital models, the PTB and the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have proposed plans for the development and implementation of measurement standards [10]. This demonstrates the need for improvement and modernization of measurement standards to keep pace with the digital transformation. With the goal of advancing digital transformation, PTB has identified four primary areas: metrology services, dimensional data analysis, communication systems, and virtual measuring devices [11]. The concept of a metrology cloud involves various stages, including a reliable metrology core platform, reference architectures, technology-driven metrological support services, and data-driven metrological support services [12]. NIST has developed the Quality Information Framework (QIF) in the field of metrology by combining aspects of manufacturing, software, hardware, and equipment [13]. QIF, which is based on XML technology, is feature-based manufacturing data designed to ensure the traceability of all data. The areas where QIF is applied include Model Based Definition (MBD), Plans, Resources, Rules, Dimensional Measuring Interface Standard (DMIS), Results, and Statistics [14]. Based on research by the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) and PTB, electronic files will soon replace paper reports for calibration certificates. The electronic certificate, known as the DCC, can be electronically delivered to anyone who has a need for the certificate. This standard is crucial for testing laboratories since it is an international guideline that encompasses method validation, traceability, and measurement uncertainty [15].
