Equipment Refresh in a Calibration Laboratory
White Papers
Calibration laboratories operate in a world of constant change, and this is never more evident than in the products that are requested to be calibrated. Technology producers survive on innovation and constantly pushing measurement demands to new limits. This creates a constant need for better measurement standards, and calibration laboratories are all too familiar with the dilemma of whether or not to update the existing test equipment that they use. This paper acknowledges the upgrade costs, but then focuses on identifying advantages achievable from such an upgrade effort. Those advantages are further explored to identify underlying factors that can realize a benefit.
