Calibration Management

Calibration Management ensures every instrument, gauge, and sensor stays within tolerance, supporting quality compliance and customer trust.

What it solves

  • Reduces non-conformances tied to measurement drift.
  • Simplifies regulatory compliance for ISO, IATF, FDA, or aerospace standards.
  • Provides traceable records for audits and customer assurance.

Core capabilities

  • Instrument registry with calibration intervals and tolerance limits.
  • Automated scheduling with reminders for due and overdue calibrations.
  • Integration with Preventive Maintenance and Ticketing for follow-up actions.
  • Certificate storage, calibration results, and as-found/as-left data capture.
  • Vendor management for outsourced calibration labs.

Implementation playbook

  1. Catalog instruments. Import asset details, serial numbers, and tolerance ranges.
  2. Define procedures. Link calibration SOPs from the Docs & Knowledge Center.
  3. Set intervals. Choose calendar or usage-based triggers with escalation rules.
  4. Execute and record. Technicians capture readings, attach certificates, and flag out-of-tolerance findings.
  5. Analyze drift. Trend results over time to adjust intervals or trigger corrective maintenance.

Data captured

  • Calibration readings (as-found, as-left).
  • Certificates and vendor credentials.
  • Non-conformance notes and required corrective actions.

Best practices

  • Always link calibration tasks to affected production lines to assess risk.
  • Use QR codes on instruments to open OpexMx calibration records instantly.
  • Combine with Reporting & Analytics to spot instruments that drift frequently.

KPIs to watch

  • Calibration compliance rate.
  • Number of instruments found out-of-tolerance.
  • Turnaround time from scheduled to completed calibration.
