Product catalog summary
Introduction
The case story discusses the benefits of insourcing calibration processes at the Silkeborg CHP Plant in Denmark using Beamex equipment. Previously outsourced, the calibration is now managed internally, offering increased flexibility, improved safety, and better integration with the plant's systems.

Specifications and Procedures
The Silkeborg CHP Plant has approximately 35 critical test points, each with three sensors, forming the safety system that requires annual calibration. The plant produces up to 108 MW of electricity and 80 MW of heat. The Beamex MC6 calibrator and CMX calibration management software are used for this purpose.

Advantages of Insourced Calibration
Insourcing has allowed for more convenient scheduling of calibrations, improved safety levels, and integration with existing systems. The Beamex system provides notifications for calibration schedules and color-codes test points to indicate their status, allowing for efficient task prioritization.

Automated Calibration Process
The Beamex equipment automates the calibration process, allowing operators to perform other tasks simultaneously. It also helps identify setup faults that external experts might overlook, enhancing safety.

Cost and Efficiency
The investment in Beamex equipment paid off within a year, excluding labor costs. The system offers digital storage of calibration data, which can be integrated into the plant's maintenance system, enhancing data ownership and quality.

Wider Adoption and Benefits
Beamex solutions are now used in all major Danish power plants, offering flexibility and cost savings. The digital process reduces errors associated with manual data entry and enhances overall quality assurance.

Conclusion
Insourcing calibration with Beamex technology provides significant operational and safety benefits, reducing downtime and improving cost efficiency. The transition from external calibration services to an in-house process has proven advantageous for Silkeborg CHP Plant.

here are approximately 35 critical test points at the Silkeborg CHP Plant, each with three sensors, making up the fundamental safety system which is required to undergo an annual calibration check. The calibration process was previously carried out by an external calibration company, but this is now done by the plant itself using Beamex equipment supplied by Tech. “Managing the calibrations ourselves has had several advantages on a daily level, not the least of these being an increase in flexibility as the calibrations can be done when it is most convenient. Moreover, it has resulted in improved...
