Automating the calibration management ecosystem

While the pen might be mightier than the sword, in process industries pen and paper-based calibration systems are a weak spot that is desperately in need of attention. Automating your calibration ecosystem saves time, reduces the risk of errors and enables your or­gan­iz­a­tion to use calibration data for business benefits.

What our power industry customers say

With this software integration project, we were able to realize a significant return on investment during the first unit overhaul. It’s unusual, since ROI on software projects is usually nonexistent at first.

Anders Ole Jensen, Engineer and Instrument Technician, Silkeborg Varme, Denmark

The most significant impact overall is that Salt River Project has been able to save about 30 minutes per calibration using an automated approach. Calibration tasks that would normally take a month to two months to complete during a unit overhaul can be performed in a few weeks, and time is money.

Anders Ole Jensen, Engineer and Instrument Technician, Silkeborg Varme, Denmark

With the Beamex system, we now have all the calibration data stored digitally. Before this was stored on an external server. But now they are more concretely “our data” and can in the long term be even further integrated into our overall maintenance system if we decide to expand our software solution.

What used to take three or four of us to do in the past, can be done by one, maybe two of us. Just the Beamex MC6, alone is like having another technician on staff.
