In modern industrial production, reliable measuring and testing processes are a central component of quality assurance. Test equipment management is not just a question of organization, but a decisive basis for standard-compliant, reproducible and meaningful measurement results. The test equipment management module from inforum, the powerful software platform from JAWA Management Software GmbH, provides companies with a fully integrated tool for the standard-compliant management, monitoring and optimization of their test equipment processes – scalable and suitable for use worldwide.
Test equipment management software for the highest requirements
The inforum module for test equipment management was developed specifically for the requirements of the industry and is consistently based on the specifications of VDA 5 and MSA (Measurement System Analysis) according to AIAG. It enables the seamless management and tracking of all test equipment throughout its entire life cycle – from procurement to calibration, maintenance, safety checks and storage. The system also takes into account manufacturer and model specifications as well as compliance with the IATF 16949 and ISO 9001 standards.
Standard-compliant processes according to VDA 5 and MSA
VDA 5 prescribes the proof of suitability of test processes for the characteristics to be measured – a central element for fulfilling standard requirements and successfully passing audits. inforum supports this process through:
- Management and documentation of suitability certificates in accordance with VDA 5
- Automated test equipment calendar with reminder function
- Flexible test equipment specifications including serial number, calibration interval, location and much more
At the same time, the module offers comprehensive functions for the MSA-compliant evaluation of measuring systems. Characteristic values such as Cg, Cgk, Bi, EV, AV and GRR are automatically calculated and analyzed – for precise statements on test equipment capability and to identify factors influencing the measurement result.
