RUIZ GOMEZ, Estefanía  e  GIRALDO JARAMILLO, Luis Fernando. NANOMETROLOGY: IMPACT ON PRODUCTION SYSTEMS. Cienc. Ing. Neogranad. [online]. 2016, vol.26, n.2, pp.49-72. ISSN 0124-8170.  https://doi.org/10.18359/rcin.1771.

This work is the result of a review of the literature on the application of nanometrology in different industrial sectors and how this one contributes to reach the standards of quality of the products through the measurement of critical parameters in the productive processes, as well as a description of the challenges this science faces in different sectors. The progress and development of new techniques that allow the measurement of the characteristics of nanodevices, nanomaterials, and equipment are reported, ones that have allowed to promote the development of industries, a decrease of costs, and the automation of processes. Within the text, there is reference to industries in progress and the effect that the control of parameters exerts for the optimization of the process, the design of a nanodevice, the growing need for regulation in the use of nanocomposites, and the designing of reliable technical and protocols for the use of nanoparticles. The advancement in nanometrology has contributed to the development of reference materials, tools that increase the accuracy and precision of the measurements, as well as techniques for the calibration of tools and equipment suitable for measurements at nanoscale, which translates into a controlled production process that ensures the quality of the products. Finally, the state of nanometrology in Colombia is included, focusing on industrial processes such as the sector of food, textile, health, and production of nanomaterials, as well as the work developed by research groups.
