### Calibration is fundamental

Roberto Lopez, the Supervisor of the Instrumentation Department at Peñoles Quimica del Rey explains the role of calibration. It plays a fundamental role in ensuring that our business objectives are fulfilled, measurements are accurate and controlled processes are in place. The precision of the measurements in the different stages of production determines the quality; if we have inaccurate measurements we will have low quality products, but if the measurements remain accurate and correct, we will continue to supply high quality products.

## Finding the right equipment

One of the core principals in the decision-making process was inevitably to find an accurate calibrator, but one which also featured documenting functionality and a supporting software solution to aid the process. The [Beamex MC6](https://www.beamex.com/calibrators/beamex-mc6/) calibrator was rendered an appropriate choice of equipment for the company, along with [CMX Calibration Management Software](https://www.beamex.com/calibration-software/cmx/), to help compliment and streamline the process.

## Efficient time savings

Prior to rolling out with the Beamex product solution, Peñoles Quimica del Rey trialled the equipment and discovered that the time taken to complete the calibration was reduced by two hours. Automatic calibrations using the [Beamex POCs](https://www.beamex.com/calibrators/beamex-poc8/) and [Temperature Blocks](https://www.beamex.com/calibrators/temperature-calibrators/), in addition to the automatically generated documentation produced through [CMX](https://www.beamex.com/calibration-software/cmx/) and the [MC6](https://www.beamex.com/calibrators/beamex-mc6/), it has made huge time savings for the company and has significantly enhanced efficiency and productivity within the department.

## Significant improvements

The accurate measurements provided with the [MC6](https://www.beamex.com/calibrators/beamex-mc6/) in parallel with the integrated software solution continues to help Peñoles Quimica del Rey produce a high-quality product, it reduces the waste of raw materials, cuts costs and reduces their carbon footprint. “Streamlining the process has made huge time savings, enhanced efficiency, maintenance, improved productivity, but fundamentally, it has helped us to achieve our business principals and continue with the delivery of our high-quality products.” Lopez comments.
