Together, we develop the optimum workflow and tool landscape to reduce unnecessary activities and achieve maximum return on investments – adapted for your asset management strategy.

We analyze calibration results, help you to identify process measuring risks and provide recommendations for necessary preventative or corrective measures.

We offer best-practice methods for determining device criticalities and MPE. Our experts will provide you with support for practical implementation of theoreti cal calculations.

We use a mix of innovative algorithms and expertise in metrology to ensure that your devices are not calibrated any more or less than necessary.

• Compliance with the requirements of internal and external regulations and audit trail documentation to meet quality assurance standards • Continuous identification of potential for improvement (CIP) • Increased process efficiency by regularly measuring all maintenance and calibration activities performed using KPIs • Improvement of the cost/risk ratio thanks to optimization of calibration intervals

Benefits • Ideal cost/risk balance thanks to correctly determined criticality and MPE • Risk minimization by avoiding non-conformities • Reduction of “out of tolerance” calibrations as a conse quence of unrealistically low MPE Calibration interval optimization We support users to determine the correct time frame in which calibration should be carried out. Plant operators no longer have to rely on random time frames (annually) or rough guides to determine the best calibration intervals. We use proven scientific models. These models take into account historic data from previous calibration results to make predictions about future behavior. We discuss intervals that change considerably with the project manager and validate all assumptions based on them. This is how important deci sions are made about the interval to be used. Depending on operational conditions, such as planned plant shut downs, intervals are then adjusted to create an optimized schedule for carrying out calibration. Ultimately, users and

plant operators benefit from an optimal balance between cost and risk. Benefits • Reduction of calibration costs when increasing intervals • Minimization of “out of tolerance” risks when reducing intervals • Analysis and measurement recommendations from an experienced calibration consultant

We support maintenance and service personnel in carrying out calibration with optimized calibration methods, such as time-saving in-line concepts, when determining risk-based calibration intervals or discovering potential for calibration process optimization. Consequently, calibration concepts increase plant availability while also ensuring compliance and audit security. We take into account the individual requirements of our customers here.

Measuring performance analysis: Have confidence in your calibration results Thanks to the measuring perfor mance analysis carried out by one of our calibration consult ants, users receive a transparent management overview of all calibration activities. The service includes a detailed analysis of the metrological status of the installed base for all instruments in the analysis. Benefits • The calibration consultant converts calibration data into a transparent management overview • Audit trail documentation to meet quality assurance standards • Knowledge transfer of metrology and calibration exper tise into the company

Criticality/MPE evaluation Criticality and maximum per missible errors (MPE) form the foundation for high-caliber and cost-effective calibration. Our product range enables users to create the necessary foundations in order to put into practice initial potential improvements, such as redu- cing “out of tolerance” calibrations. Furthermore, using our ISO 31010-compliant documented methods, our project managers will be in a position to justify decisions to audi tors. Moreover, it is possible to use additional optimization services, such as optimization of calibration intervals.
