Certain when uncertain!

Certain when uncertain!
How certain can we be when uncertainty is part of every measurement? Join us for an afternoon where theory meets practice — and where we explore how tolerance chains and measurement system analysis (MSA) help us make better, data-driven decisions.

This half-day event brings together experts and practitioners from industry and academia to dive into the practical use of tolerance chain thinking and measurement system analysis in analytical and process settings.

Through talks, real-life examples, and a hands-on coffee break activity, we’ll look at how uncertainties propagate through systems, how they can be quantified, and how we can work smarter with tolerances in complex measurement setups.

Expect inspiration, reflection, and good conversations – whether you work with measurements, data, or decisions – in the lab, in production, or in development.

Program (still under development):

13:00–13:05 Welcome
13:05–13:30 Frans van den Berg (KU) – Tolerance chain theory
13:30–13:55 TI – Tolerance chain use and considerations
13:55–14:20 Jens Folke – Measurement System Analysis (MSA)
14:20–14:30 Introduction to coffee break activity (user experience with MSA)
14:30–15:00 Coffee break & networking activity
15:00–15:15 Marie Top Mygind (FOSS) – Trailing the uncertainties …in analytical equipment
15:15–15:30 Arla – MSA in practice
15:30–15:45 Marianne Toft (Novonesis) – Industrial perspective
15:45–16:00 Coffee break activity results & wrap-up

The meeting will be held in Copenhagen and Aarhus simultaneously – there will be speakers present in both locations and the presentations will be streamed between the two locations. Online participation is not possible.
