The five levels of digitalisation of calibration certificates – and where the digital calibration certificate (DCC) comes in
Matthias Bundschuh | Calibration, Know-howDigitalisation in metrology is not a sudden technological leap, but a development that unfolds in clearly recognisable stages. These stages – the so‑called five digitalisation levels – describe how calibration data develop from their analogue origin towards fully …
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 …
