Calibration ensures that instruments provide accurate readings, which is crucial for maintaining quality, compliance, and safety in various industries.

Common types include pressure gauges, temperature sensors, flow meters, pH meters, and analytical instruments.

The frequency of calibration depends on the instrument's usage, manufacturer's recommendations, industry standards, and operational conditions.

A calibration schedule is a planned timetable for calibrating instruments at regular intervals to ensure their accuracy and reliability.

Create instrument Master records by specifying details like instrument ID, type, location, calibration frequency, and assigned technician.

Create calibration work orders  schedules with specific due dates and assign them to technicians.

A calibration certificate is a document that provides details about the calibration process, including the instrument's condition, calibration results, and any adjustments made.

MaintWiz CMMS allows users to either create in system or upload and store digital copies of calibration certificates, making it easy to access and manage them.

Calibration tolerance is the acceptable range of error for an instrument's readings, beyond which the instrument may be considered out of calibration.

MaintWiz CMMS allows users to set and track calibration tolerances, ensuring that instruments are calibrated within acceptable limits.

The calibration process typically involves preparing the instrument, performing the calibration, recording the results, and making any necessary adjustments.

Use automated calibration systems, implement checklists, and conduct regular audits.

MaintWiz CMMS helps optimize calibration intervals by analyzing historical calibration data and providing insights for adjusting intervals based on instrument performance.

Calibration involves adjusting an instrument to ensure its accuracy, while verification checks the instrument's accuracy against a known standard without making adjustments.

Not calibrating instruments regularly can lead to inaccurate measurements, non-compliance with regulations, equipment failure, and compromised product quality.

MaintWiz CMMS helps prevent overdue calibrations by sending automated alerts and reminders for upcoming calibration tasks, ensuring timely completion.

A calibration log is a record that documents all calibration activities for an instrument, including dates, results, and any adjustments made.

MaintWiz CMMS manages calibration logs by digitally recording all calibration activities and storing them in a centralized system for easy access and review.

Calibration standards are reference instruments or materials used to calibrate other instruments, ensuring accuracy and consistency in measurements.

MaintWiz CMMS tracks calibration standards by maintaining a database of reference instruments, their calibration status, and usage history.

Key KPIs include calibration compliance rate, number of overdue calibrations, calibration accuracy, and instrument downtime due to calibration.

MaintWiz CMMS helps improve KPIs by providing real-time data, automating processes, optimizing calibration schedules, and enabling continuous monitoring and analysis.

Streamline calibration procedures, reduce paperwork, and use digital tools to improve efficiency.

By integrating IoT devices with instruments, you can collect real-time data on instrument performance, environmental conditions, and usage patterns. This data can be used to optimize calibration schedules, identify potential issues early, and improve overall equipment reliability. MaintWiz CMMS can be integrated with IoT platforms to leverage this data for predictive maintenance and informed decision-making.
