is a Japanese multinational corporation specializing in measuring instruments and metrological technology, headquartered at Takatsu-ku, Kawasaki, Kanagawa.

Metrology is "the science of measurement, embracing both experimental and theoretical determinations at any level of uncertainty in any field of science and technology" as defined by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM).

The field of metrology is important for establishing a common understanding of units, which is crucial in linking human activities.

Modern metrology has its roots in the French Revolution, with the political motivation to harmonize units all over France, a proposal was made to create a length standard borrowed from a natural source.

This led to the creation of the decimal based metric system in 1795 to establish a set of standards for other types of measurements.

Several other countries adopted the metric system between 1795 and 1875 and to ensure conformity between the countries, the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures (BIPM) was established by the Metre Convention.

This has since evolved into the International System of Units (SI) as a result of a resolution made in the 11th Conference Generale des Poids et Mesures (CGPM) in 1960.

Precision is a description of random errors, a measure of statistical variability.

Accuracy has two definitions:

Measurement is the assignment of a number to a characteristic of an object or event, which can be compared with other objects or events.

The scope and application of a measurement is dependent on the context and discipline.

In the natural sciences and engineering, measurements do not apply to nominal properties of objects or events, which is consistent with the guidelines of the International vocabulary of metrology published by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures.

However, in other fields such as statistics as well as the social and behavioral sciences, measurements can have multiple levels, which would include nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratio scales.

Innovation can be defined simply as a "new idea, device or method".

However, innovation is often also viewed as the application of better solutions that meet new requirements, unarticulated needs, or existing market needs.

This is accomplished through more-effective products, processes, services, technologies, or business models that are readily available to markets, governments and society.

The term "innovation" can be defined as something original and more effective and, as a consequence, new, that "breaks into" the market or society.

It is related to, but not the same as, invention.

Innovation is often manifested via the engineering process.

The opposite of innovation is exnovation.
