4 Benefits of a Full Calibration Asset Management Program

4 Benefits of a Full Calibration Asset Management Program

Take the stress out of managing your calibration activities

Article written by PCI.


Within the life science industry, instrumentation should be kept on a regular calibration schedule to produce the most accurate data. Without routine calibration, equipment can drift which leaves room for potential error. Here are the top 4 benefits of joining an asset management program that can save you time and money when handling your calibration needs:

1. Eliminate the Hassel of Keeping a Calibration Schedule

Timing each instrument’s specific calibration schedule and keeping up with the reporting can cause a headache. It's imperative that your instrumentation stays within your desired range. To ensure your instruments are always performing accurately, establish a calibration schedule. The easiest way to keep a regular schedule in place is to participate in an asset management program. You simply leave all the scheduling and reporting to calibration services suppliers, allowing you to focus on your core business.

2. Reduce Unnecessary Paperwork 

You no longer need the physical copies of your calibration paperwork; your instrument’s complete history can be accessed digitally. Customer portals can help you keep up with any recalls and support reverse traceability. Robust calibration asset management programs include online software that provides customers with quick and easy access to reports and receive updates about their instrumentation. 

3. Remove the Need to Qualify 3rd Party Vendors

There are times when calibration providers need to expand their reach to better assist customers to seek out other labs and OEMs to handle their calibrations. When it’s necessary to use these outlets, it is mandatory that 3rd party vendors and OEMs are fully vetted to meet the lab’s requirements. Most full asset calibration management programs audit all 3rd party vendors to ensure they meet the standards of a quality program, i.e., ISO 17025, so that you do not have to spend time and money on auditing labs that handle your calibrations.

4. Access to a Dedicated Account Manager 

It can be stressful when you need to track down multiple people to get a single answer. Imagine having a single contact that can answer any question about your assets. Most full-service calibration asset management programs have a single account manager dedicated to effectively communicating with their customers.
