Calibrate™ provides a unique platform for sharing data relating to the calibration of key instrumentation used in measurement and control systems, ensuring that those responsible for maintenance and auditing have immediate access to critical information.

METCO Services Ltd. has been a world leader in metrology asset management for more than 30 years. This expertise, along with Ambrit Ltd.'s leading edge database and communications technologies, are reflected in a new suite of web enabled metrology asset management applications.

The suite includes software tools designed to streamline the operations involved with event logbooks, calibration and scheduling, auditing and data archiving. The four software tools can be implemented as stand alone solutions or combined using Inventory™ to provide a unique platform for collection, analysis and reporting of metering data.

Calibrate™ is one element of the suite, a QA controlled application designed to streamline the calibration process.

All data is archived to create a complete calibration history for every piece of instrumentation in a system. The archived data forms an invaluable resource for conducting a wide range of performance analysis.

A unique feature of Calibrate™ is its ability to share data with any of the other applications in the metrology asset management suite. For example, data can be transferred automatically from Calibrate™ to a Record™ logbook to supplement manually entered events. The calibration data is interlaced chronologically with the logbook data to provide a comprehensive audit trail.

METCO provide an online, comprehensive configuration and template development service to meet the changes in measurement control technologies, procedures and philosophies.

In the 21st Century people and systems will work together to share information smarter and faster than ever before. METCO are committed to evolving the web-enabled metrology suite to meet the challenges of the future. New features, enhanced performance and increased interactivity will keep pace with technology as it changes.

Webspring™

METCO’s metrology asset management suite builds on Ambrit’s foundation technology Webspring™, providing a robust, secure, real time, web enabled database and communications environment. Webspring’s innovative features enable engineers to interact with systems in dynamic new ways, allowing them to share data and work remotely with ease.

The low bandwidth communication requirements of Webspring™ applications enable integration with the latest data carrier technologies including GPRS and Satellite, pushing the boundaries of web enabled data acquisition to provide secure access to instrumentation in remote corners of the world.

Support

Calibrate benefits from system support through the Internet. METCO and Ambrit can now fully support systems remotely, effectively reducing support costs to a minimum.

These and many other features make Calibrate™ a truly integrated web enabled technology, enabling high integrity browser-driven communication using private Intranet networks or world wide via the Internet. International metrology asset management is now an economic reality.
