Onsite calibration allows measuring and test equipment to be calibrated directly at a customer’s facility, helping organizations reduce equipment downtime, shipping requirements, and disruption to normal operations.
For companies managing large equipment inventories or equipment that is difficult to remove from service, onsite calibration can provide an efficient way to maintain a compliant and organized calibration program.
Onsite calibration is performed when calibration technicians travel to the customer’s facility with the standards and equipment necessary to perform calibration services at that location.
Instead of packaging and shipping instruments to a laboratory, equipment can remain at the facility and be calibrated according to a coordinated service schedule.
This is particularly useful for organizations with large quantities of equipment due for calibration at the same time.
One of the primary advantages of onsite calibration is reducing the amount of time equipment must be removed from normal operations.
Organizations can also reduce the logistical work associated with packaging, shipping, receiving, and tracking large quantities of equipment.
Onsite service can be especially valuable for manufacturing facilities, maintenance operations, aviation organizations, repair stations, and other businesses that depend on readily available test equipment.
Many common types of measuring and test equipment can be calibrated at a customer’s facility when the necessary standards can be transported and appropriate conditions are available.
Typical onsite capabilities may include torque and force equipment, electrical instruments, pressure gauges, dimensional tools, temperature equipment, and other general-purpose measuring devices.
Available capabilities depend on the equipment type, required measurement range, accuracy requirements, environmental conditions, and the standards necessary to perform the calibration.
Successful onsite calibration is typically coordinated in advance so the appropriate technicians, standards, and equipment can be scheduled for the visit.
Customers can provide an equipment list identifying the instruments requiring calibration, allowing the laboratory to review the required capabilities before arriving.
For larger programs, equipment can also be organized by department, location, equipment type, or calibration due date to make the service visit more efficient.
Onsite calibration is ideal when reducing equipment movement and operational downtime is a priority.
In-lab calibration may be more appropriate when equipment requires specialized standards, higher-accuracy measurement systems, controlled laboratory environments, or capabilities that cannot practically be transported.
Many organizations use a combination of onsite and in-lab calibration to create an efficient calibration program.
KELI Labs provides onsite calibration services for customers managing measuring and test equipment across aviation, aerospace, defense, manufacturing, maintenance, and other industries.
Our team can coordinate scheduled onsite calibration events for individual departments or larger equipment programs, while equipment requiring additional laboratory capabilities can be serviced through our in-lab calibration facilities.
