Gauge Management Step by Step
— All Features at a Glance

BW-Ziffer-1-var

Gauge Management

Work with gauges in full compliance with standards:
CASQ-it GMS supports the monitoring of both one-dimensional and multi-dimensional gauges, fully compliant with IATF 16949, and in line with the requirements of ISO 10012 and DGQ 13-61.

New gauges can be added easily through the use of predefined templates.

Create calibration and inspection plans as quickly as never before:
For identical types of gauges, shared calibration and inspection plans are available. 
Group calibration plans in accordance with VDI/VDE/DGQ 2618 and DIN-compliant buttons for specification input significantly speed up the creation of your calibration and inspection plans. 

Each gauge’s master data sheet provides detailed information, including costs, calibration specifics and complete historical data.

BW-Ziffer-2-varGauge Procurement

Targeted selection of inspections: 
With CASQ-it GMS, newly acquired gauges are inspected according to different criteria than gauges scheduled for recalibration. The software ensures full traceability and documentation of your gauge's usability — right from day one.  

Calibration of measuring equipment: 
In addition to managing standard gauges, CASQ-it GMS also supports the management and calibration of measuring equipment for electrical quantities. Inspection fixtures are managed as separate measuring instruments under a single master data number, ensuring maximum transparency and traceability.

BW-Ziffer-3-var

Gauge Capability Studies

Prevent measurement errors: 
To rule out systematic errors during measurements, CASQ-it GMS monitors and documents the reliability of your measurement systems using standards-compliant capability studies according to MSA.

Standards-compliant methods: 
The software provides standardized procedures such as capability studies according to QS-9000 MSA, including R&R, A&R, GR&R and ANOVA studies, as well as attributive studies.
Capability study data can be conveniently captured via direct gauge connection, QDAS interface or manual entry.

BW-Ziffer-4-varMaintenance

Dynamic calibration interval calculation: 
Our gauge management software dynamically calculates calibration intervals based on usage type, location and the number of inspections and applications performed. 
This optimizes your gauge monitoring and helps reduce inspection, maintenance and calibration costs. 

Compliance with calibration cycles: 
Autonomous deadline tracking with an integrated reminder system ensures calibration cycles are maintained.

Automated return requests and up-to-date calibration and maintenance lists make it easy to collect gauges when needed.

BW-Ziffer-5-var

Calibration Data Exchange 

Seamless collaboration with external calibration service providers: 
Fast and secure data exchange with external calibration providers is handled through a standardized exchange format based on VDI/VDE 2623. 
CASQ-it GMS automatically compiles the necessary data into an XML file for the calibration provider. 

Direct calibration data transfer to the module: 
Immediately after calibration, the service provider sends job details, inspection results and certificates directly to CASQ-it GMS via XML file, eliminating error-prone manual data entry and saving time by avoiding redundant input.

BW-Ziffer-6-var

Gauge Analyses

Traceability: 
Comprehensive gauge analyses and reports provide continuous, up-to-date insights into your gauge inventory and ensure full traceability in compliance with ISO/TS 16949.  
 
Gauge lifecycle: 
The lifecycle record of each gauge contains complete documentation of all usage locations, calibration events, detected errors, root causes and inspection costs. Graphical analyses and customizable lists further enhance the transparency of your gauge management.
