1. A method for determining the temperature of a workpiece in a flexible manufacturing system such as for correcting of errors introduced by temperature when making length measurements on the workpiece, the method comprising the steps of:

  • installing a self-sufficient sensor assembly equipped with temperature sensing means on the workpiece, the sensor assembly including an encapsulated housing and remaining on the workpiece also during the material processing on the workpiece;

    causing the sensor assembly to pass through the material flow together with the workpiece; and

    ,transmitting temperature values measured on the workpiece to appropriate remote stations.
