Speed and accuracy of information is more important than ever. When it comes to calibration this has never been truer. Increased regulation, oversight and the demand for up-to-the-minute data requires an adaptive and automated calibration process. But how can you implement a digital process when faced with issues such as budget restrictions, overextended IT resources, and regulatory uncertainties.

Because Industry 4.0 is closely interlinked with information and communication technologies, a strategy that includes an Integrated Calibration Solution (ICS) provides a digital backbone to mission critical processes.

A “top to bottom” ICS includes not only hardware and software, but support components such as integration services as well. A well-designed and expertly deployed ICS provides users with a scalable solution that offers the choice of locally installed or cloud-based software, multi-function and customizable field equipment, and program integration knowledge & experience. In an increasingly competitive and global business environment, business leaders must consider and explore all avenues for process improvement. The benefits of deploying an ICS far outweigh the costs and risks of not making that investment.
