Calibrate is win
Systems of metrological control of equipment, to ensure the quality of them, and with unprecedented automation levels, is a reality within the reach of all the companies, although it is surprising that even today, they are a minority that bet shorten processes and gain in performance.
Now increase the productivity and quality are not mutually exclusive terms, but they go hand in hand in this era of the intelligence of the company in which we enter.
Not measured as work blind, is using tools whose operation is not exact and that generate inaccurate parts. To ensure total quality of the products, you must have systems that manage the metrological control of the equipment with which we work in an automated way.
Many companies think that a waste of time is measuring and point each time the status of the instruments, so this is a timely and non-regular activity as it should be. All companies must have systems to indicate deviations and failures of the tools before that there is a serious consequence.
Mistakes are not acceptable today by the companies, because they result in large losses of money and prestige.
In a pharmaceutical laboratory, for example, a poorly balanced scale causes that the measure of a component of a drug is not adequate. At a glance the bug is undetectable, but consequences it can have on a consumer could have very serious. It generates a vicious circle without sense if had been a proper calibration: withdrawal of the departure of the market, impact on the media, creating a negative image of the company, etc. not to mention the most important thing, people.
To choose your programme of calibración…
- Consider all the options market. To not marry anyone if you are not sure of what to do.
- Opt for a system of guarantees. Avoid false promises, the words are gone with the wind.
- Stronger investment, are usually not the safest. Avoid falling into the trap of thinking that the most expensive is the best.
- Remember that it's good to err on the safe. It is better than cure.
- Save on resources. A bad calibration eventually passes bills.
- The goal is to always reach. No matter how the road, but the attitude we take in front of him.
Measure is not the ultimate goal of the companies, it is a piece of gear that makes us more competitive in the market, because differentiation is in the recognition for the quality. If the gears are not in perfect state machine does not work.
The customer has the possibility to choose from a multitude of products. The choice of one or the other through the quality. In the company, the objective is to obtain the best performance in our business; the attitude, ensure the quality of our products; the way, the management of calibration data. Not be precipitate in their choice. Sometimes that more runs is not that comes before.
Choose a calibration software
Not to be swayed by appearances or from falling into the absurdity of brand advertising. Look at and compare products by its functionality, and select which most suits your needs. Opt for a system to store data and who can predict or warn when corrections should be made. That is designed to solve the problems of your company: the need to control the status of the instruments in a periodic way without losing production time.
The application must ensure that the stored data are of absolute reliability, which follow the most demanding registration protocols and electronic signature (CFR 21part 11). Thus guarantees the traceability, a continuous line of testing and sampling makes the data to be so accurate that they can certify, and we can therefore demonstrate that our work is correct at the time that a client or an authority so requested.
This type of applications manage the entire process of calibration: identification of the equipment for the control of the State of calibration, record the results of the calibration and evaluation. Data are stored in a database for their rapid retrieval and inquiry. There is the possibility of codifying the utensils through code, so that with a simple reader we can get all data about a particular tool.
Today manage the quality of the products with which we work is a legal and commercial imperative, and ensure the pass final quality by the production process. A system of storage of data on agents that Act on the process is guarantee of quality and compliance with the ISO/IEC 17025, an international standard for measures of products which are manufactured correctly.
