Product catalog summary
Cornell University Overview
Cornell University, located in Ithaca, New York, is a prestigious Ivy League research institution recognized as one of the top research universities globally. The university manages a vast infrastructure, including power and water production facilities, to support its extensive campus.

Energy Resources and Maintenance
The Central Energy Plant (CEP) at Cornell provides essential energy services. The maintenance team, led by Kristopher Welfel, is responsible for over 1,000 instruments, including critical calibrations. The team also handles commissioning, such as the recent addition of two new boilers.

Calibration Challenges and Solutions
Previously, calibration at CEP involved multiple single-function devices, requiring several technicians and manual data entry, which was time-consuming and error-prone. Inspired by advanced technology seen at the International Society of Automation, Kristopher sought to streamline processes by minimizing equipment, investing in reliable tools, and automating data entry.

Implementation of Beamex Solutions
After evaluating options, the Beamex MC6 calibrator and CMX calibration software were chosen for their multi-functional capabilities, user-friendliness, and automated data management. These solutions reduced the need for multiple technicians and equipment, improved data accuracy, and facilitated strategic decision-making.

Results and Benefits
The implementation of Beamex solutions significantly reduced calibration time, particularly for temperature calibrations, and improved efficiency. The MC6 calibrator effectively acts as an additional technician, allowing the team to perform tasks with fewer personnel. The automated documentation process minimizes human error and enhances data management.
