One of the most important components of a calibration management solution implementation within a regulated industry is the validation of the software. Whether you are performing a minor UAT (User Acceptance Testing) or a more thorough PQ (Performance Qualification) by leveraging vendor documentation, taking on this vital project can seem like a daunting task. Missing a proper validation within a space that requires it will almost certainly result in compliance issues. Validation is an essential part of the implementation process; precise measurements and the documentation of those measurement ..read more

Calibration is an essential part of the manufacturing process; the ability to quickly and effectively perform accurate calibration is paramount to the success of a facility. A major challenge now more than ever is the ability to process large numbers of calibrations, error-free, without compromising efficiency. To achieve substantial improvements in quality and efficiency, calibration procedures must be automated, streamlined, and whenever possible, integrated. This element of “integration” is the key to accuracy and efficiency; an integrated calibration solution is a crucial component of a c ..read more

Prime Technologies provides calibration solutions for companies across a wide range of industries, including in the life sciences. Recently, an innovative Fortune 500 life sciences company, based on the East Coast, looked to improve its calibration process and system. This global company was using a paper-based calibration system but found flaws in how its processes worked. Corporate management was also looking for the opportunity to take its calibration processes to the next level, and moving away from paper was an obvious next step. As well, the company, with its focus on sustainability, was ..read more

Prime Technologies’ webinar “Performing Paperless Calibrations with a Documenting Process Calibrator” with Prime’s Michael Price and Fluke Technology’s Bob Crepps dives into how using an electronic calibration management system (CMS) like ProCal can drastically reduce the amount of time it takes to perform and record your calibrations. At the same time, using a CMS also improves the accuracy and reliability of records and calibration certificates by eliminating the need for paper-based hard copies. This webinar also explains how to take that efficiency even further by introducing the use of Fl ..read more

Prime Technologies presents a webinar on the value of performing calibrations with a CMS. The webinar is led by Robert Goss, Training Manager, who has been assisting those in the process management world for more than six years. His experience specializes in highly-regulated industries. He has developed a deep understanding of the common problems that plague many of today’s calibration and process management professionals; he works with customers daily to identify these issues and to provide the appropriate solution. As he continues to learn, Robert is excited to continue to provide customers ..read more

Instruments that are used to take accurate measurements typically require periodic calibration to ensure reliable readings. They are sometimes tested in a highly controlled laboratory setting while for some devices, at the actual site of field use. The certification process is done by qualified personnel who are properly trained to service the specific types of devices under test. They follow formalized Standard Operating Procedures which document the method of testing, the NIST traceable standards that are suitable for use and list any other rules that may be pertinent for regulatory complian ..read more

As manufacturing operations expand, companies need to implement ever better methods to manage practices. This need is especially relevant for those in the process control industry where facilities typically utilize automated control systems, each which might contain large numbers of fixed assets. Often, many of these assets are used to measure physical parameters and control processes. ISO, FDA and other regulatory certifications require periodic testing of these devices to ensure consistency and accuracy of measurements. The need to document testing results for each and to easily retrieve his ..read more
