This analysis demonstrates the need for an authoritative database to ensure SI units in sensor systems, indicating a shift in digital transformation.
In times of digital transformation, machines are expected to operate exclusively using the International System of Units (SI), something that humans have not yet fully achieved. The same should include sensor systems feeding data to those machines. This requires an internationally authoritative database for converting the non-SI units that humans enter to SI units at the level of the human–machine interface or human–sensor interface.
