Instrument calibration is the process of verifying and adjusting the accuracy of measurement instruments to ensure they produce reliable and accurate results. This involves comparing the output with a known standard or reference value, and making adjustments if necessary.
Challenges
- user specific methodology across instrument owners
- skipping | missing schedules
- system generated calibration certificates
- manual | undocumented testing norms
- validity of standard instrument
- identification | nomination of standard instrument
- calibration history
Strategies and solutions
- generate a schedule of calibration of master and target instruments
- restrict master selection to valid instrument | within validity period
- integrate with EAM, check work order status and allow | disallow actions as per business logic
- covered various calibration practices single master | dual master | static range (transmitter) | dynamic range
- allow multiple calibrations to accommodate corrective actions
- generate and store calibration certificates in DMS
Key benefits
- system generated intimations for due calibration
- pre-defined master mapping and checkpoints
- system generated calibration certificates
- calibration history for statutory compliance
- standardised methodology with no manual dependency
