Calibration is a critical part of modern industrial activity. However, the digitalisation of calibration processes has lagged behind and calibration is still largely paper-based with companies missing out on improved efficiency, safety and cost savings. At Beamex we help customers establish an automated calibration system and enjoy all the benefits it holds.
Centralising all their asset data in a single system helped National Grid to thoroughly interrogate their assets and make informed decisions about maintenance procedures and schedules. “With more and better-quality asset data at our fingertips we have been able to look at saving time and costs by, for example, extending the time between inspections,” highlights Andy Barnwell, Asset Management Systems Owner.
With the Beamex solution in place, thanks to automation we have been able to cut the number of steps needed to perform a calibration, saving 15 minutes per device. While this might not sound like much on its own, it adds up to a time saving of over 4,000 hours per year – and a financial saving that runs into millions of pounds, which is astonishing.
