Why talk about calibration system implementation? Isn’t it enough to focus on comparing equipment and software feature lists? The reason is that a calibration system implementation is only about 20 to 30% technology; the rest is culture and process. Calibration system implementation is also very time-and resource-consuming—the risk of failure is high. Typically, it involves many different functions and departments within an organization and takes time to complete. To ensure a high quality, sustainable calibration system, there are some important aspects to consider and common pitfalls to avoid during implementation.
