Traditional paper-based systems Business benefits of paperless calibration While using a manual, paper-based system requires little or no investment in new technology or IT systems, it is extremely labor-intensive and means that historical trend analysis of calibration results becomes very difficult. In addition, accessing calibration data quickly is not easy. Paper systems are time consuming, they soak up lots of company resources and manual (typing) errors are commonplace. Dual effort and the re-keying of calibration data into multiple databases become significant costs to the business. The...

SOLUTIONS CALIBRATION IN HAZARDOUS AREAS 12 There are industrial environments where calibrations should not only be made accurately and efficiently, but also safely. When safety becomes a top priority in calibration, intrinsically safe calibrators are required. Intrinsic safety (IS) is a protection technique for the safe operation of electronic equipment in explosive environments. The idea behind intrinsic safety is to be assured that the available electrical and thermal energy in the system is always low enough that ignition of the hazardous atmosphere cannot occur.
