Performing efficient gage management is a vital part of maintaining production quality. Yet without automation of processes, manufacturers fail to perform regular calibrations and keep comprehensive records. This can have serious long-term consequences, including machine failures and nonconformances.

 

IBS Gage Management Software helps you achieve your production quality goals. The system enables continuous tracking of gages and efficient performance of calibrations in accordance with standards like ISO/TS 16949.

 

With IBS Gage Management Software, you can:

• Create detailed schedules for your equipment maintenance activities
• Meet deadlines with automated notifications and alerts
• Classify gages and equipment by a wide range of differentials
• Tailor forms to your specific needs, without programming
• Monitor the status of gages in real time
• Determine gage inspection intervals based on time or usage
• Track and analyze calibration costs including inspection, repairing, calibrating and purchasing
• Use gage analysis tools that include bias, linearity, stability and R&R methods compliant with the AIAG’s MSA (3rd edition)

 

Our Gage Management solution is a fully integrated part of our enterprise quality control software, PQS.

 

 

 

 

Before IBS Gage Management Software: Without automated reminders for upcoming deadlines, manufacturers failed to perform regular calibrations. Inconsistent gage management processes resulted in audit findings, and undetected flaws in gages led to poor product quality.

 

After IBS Calibration and Gage Management Software: Notifications are sent out automatically about upcoming scheduled calibrations, and escalation messages are sent to management for missed deadlines. Manufacturers perform regular, efficient calibrations, enabling them to maintain compliance and product quality.

 

 

Before IBS Calibration and Gage Management Software: Manufacturers struggled to keep detailed, accurate records for complex machines. It was tedious to shift through paper-based documentation to locate, record, and distribute equipment information.

 

After IBS Calibration and Gage Management Software: The software allows quality managers to classify information by a range of differentials, including ID/Asset Number, manufacturer, location, warrantee, serial number and general use. It is easy to search and retrieve gage information, add data, and distribute updates via email. Plus, users can monitor the condition and status of gages in real time.
