“we are in need of an onsite and quick calibration, because this means money for us. the faster we get our equipment back and have the business up and running, the more revenue we can generate.”

finding the right solution for force technology: onsite accredited calibration as key element

force technology needed a service provider that could provide iso/iec 17025 accredited calibration for its four locations, three of which in denmark and one in sweden. the goal was to keep the turnaround time low, the quality high and the costs predictable and transparent.

previously, all units were sent in for calibration to a third party calibration provider, facing unpredictable total overall costs for calibration (verification), adjustments* and repairs at the oem (rohde & schwarz). plus a longer turnaround time and always the uncertainty of whether all relevant parameters had been tested or not. additional hours of manpower were needed to handle the campaign and to ensure high quality.

* modern high end instruments have tight specifications. therefore, sophisticated and complex automated algorithms are used for alignments which can be carried out only by an oem.

“we really like that everything is covered in the contract and we don’t run into additional invoices. the invoicing part is also very easy, there are no questions about who is owner of a product or which department has to pay. after two weeks of onsite calibration in january, everything is settled until next january. that really means a lot.”
