Digital calibration certificate (DCC): A key technology for Industry 4.0
Matthias Bundschuh | Kalibrierung, Know-howAt a time when production processes are becoming increasingly networked, automated and data-driven, data quality and data management are rapidly gaining importance. In Industry 4.0 people, machines and systems work together seamlessly. But how does this vision become …
Digital calibration certificate (DCC): Why a standard secures the future of measurement technology
Matthias Bundschuh | Calibration, Know-howDigitalisation is changing almost every area of industry – including the calibration of measuring equipment. Where paper documents used to dominate, the digital calibration certificate (DCC for short) is becoming increasingly important. However, as is often the case, …
Three reasons why WIKA pressure gauges are unique
Christopher Ott | Know-howPressure gauges from different manufacturers look quite similar from the outside. At first glance, even the specifications appear to be virtually identical. However, that impression is deceptive – there are, in fact, significant differences. The following post …
Stainless steel pressure gauges: Leak testing makes all the difference
Christopher Ott | Know-howAn essential step in the production process of pressure gauges is the leak test of the measuring system to ensure that the process medium does not escape into the environment. There are, however, significant differences in how leak tests on stainless steel pressure …
