Every plant has some sort of system in place for managing calibration operations and data, but the different methods for doing it varies greatly in terms of cost, quality, efficiency and accuracy of data. Introduction Every manufacturing plant has some sort of system in place for managing instrument calibration operations and data. Plant instrumentation devices such as temperature sensors, pressure transducers and weighing instruments – require regular calibration to ensure they are performing and measuring to specified tolerances. However, different companies from a diverse range of industry...

requirements and regulations. In the Power & Energy sector, for example, just under a third of companies (with 500+ employees) typically have more than 5,000 instruments that require calibrating. 42 per cent of companies perform more than 2,000 calibrations each year. In the highly regulated pharmaceuticals sector, a massive 75 per cent of companies carry out more than 2,000 calibrations per year. Oil, Gas & Petrochemicals sector is similarly high, with 55 per cent of companies performing more than 2,000 calibrations each year. The percentage is still quite high in the food & beverage sector,...

historical trend analysis becomes very difficult to carry out. In addition, the calibration data is not easily accessible. The system is time consuming, soaks up a lot of resources and typing errors are commonplace. Dual effort and re-keying of calibration data are also significant costs here. In-house legacy systems (spreadsheets, databases, etc.) Although certainly a step in the right direction, using an in-house legacy system to manage calibrations has its drawbacks. In these systems, calibration data is typically entered manually into a spreadsheet or database. The data is stored in electronic...

Documentation is also improved. The software generates reports automatically and all calibration data is stored in one database rather than multiple disparate systems. Calibration certificates, reports and labels can all be printed out on paper or sent in electronic format. Analysis becomes easier too, enabling engineers to optimise calibration intervals using the software’s History Trend function. Also, when a plant is being audited, calibration software can facilitate both the preparation and the audit itself. Locating records and verifying that the system works is effortless when compared...

Heineken España, S.A. (Fábr From an environmental perspective, the new Heineken Brewery has been designed to make an optimum use of natural resources. In Sevilla, 2 years after its start and with an investment of over 300 million Euros, the new brewery of Heineken España S.A., is nearly completed. It is called “Jumbo” because of the magnitude of the project, whicht has been built at record speed in such a short time. In keeping with their beer tradition and traditional fabrication recipes, the installations have been designed with the highest levels of safety and automation. The new Heineken...

All the calibration labels are then printed and positioned on the calibrated equipment. The combined solution of the CMX, MC5 and PDA allows for a seamless electronic flow between the calibration software and the calibrators, with the following benefits: it reduces possible errors of manual data entry, gives an automatic documentation of all data, electronic approval of calibrations, paperless management of calibration, quick access to...
