Scope definition
Record the implementation, documents, streams, software version, and MTConnect version included in review.
Scoped MTConnect implementation assessment
Model-Aware® Certification
Produce reviewable validation evidence, expert findings, and a clear remediation path for the implementation included in the certification scope.
Engagement
Scoped certification review
Scope and pricing depend on the implementation boundary, applicable MTConnect version, available test material, findings, and re-review needs.

- Best for
- Teams that need a defined, version-specific review of an MTConnect Adapter or product implementation
- What we review
- Agreed documents, streams, implementation behavior, software version, MTConnect version, and supporting evidence
- Engagement format
- Scoped automated validation, expert review, remediation, and disposition workflow
Overview
What this engagement helps your team accomplish
A scoped assessment of an MTConnect Adapter or product implementation against an agreed MTConnect version and review boundary.
Produce reviewable validation evidence, expert findings, and a clear remediation path for the implementation included in the certification scope.
Automated validation evidence
Run applicable repeatable checks and preserve findings for the reviewed material.
Expert review
Examine nuanced structural, semantic, and implementation findings within the agreed boundary.
Corrective guidance
Organize remediation items and re-review steps before a final scoped disposition.
Common reasons to engage
- Define a review scope and applicable MTConnect version
- Run repeatable automated document and stream checks
- Review semantic and implementation findings with an expert
- Address findings before a certification disposition
- Document the exact implementation and version reviewed
Engagement approach
A clear path from scope to handoff
The exact activities vary by engagement, but responsibilities and review boundaries remain explicit.- 01
Define scope
Agree on the implementation, version, evidence, and criteria included in review.
- 02
Validate
Run applicable repeatable checks against the supplied documents and streams.
- 03
Review and remediate
Examine findings, clarify semantics, and address agreed corrective actions.
- 04
Record disposition
Document the result for the exact implementation and review scope assessed.
Engagement details
Deliverables, inputs, boundaries, and related paths
Use these details to prepare a focused first conversation and understand what the service does—and does not—cover.Potential engagement deliverables
Final deliverables are confirmed in the written scope. Depending on that scope, the engagement may include:
- Written certification scope and applicable-version record
- Automated validation evidence for supplied material
- Expert findings within the agreed review boundary
- Corrective-action guidance and re-review status
- Final scoped disposition when the agreed criteria are satisfied
Information and access you provide
A useful starting scope depends on accurate technical context and access to the agreed stakeholders or environment.
- Product or Adapter identity and software version
- Applicable MTConnect version and intended behavior
- Representative documents, streams, and test access
- Known limitations and configuration requirements
- Technical contact for findings and remediation
Scope and assurance boundaries
- Certification applies only to the implementation, version, documents, streams, and criteria included in the written scope.
- It does not certify an organization, entire product family, customer network, security posture, or future software change.
- Automated validation supports but does not replace expert review of the agreed implementation boundary.
- A certification disposition does not guarantee every downstream use, configuration, or observation is correct.
Discuss your manufacturing requirements
- Record the implementation, documents, streams, software version, and MTConnect version included in review.
- Run applicable repeatable checks and preserve findings for the reviewed material.
- Examine nuanced structural, semantic, and implementation findings within the agreed boundary.
