GAGEpack

Predicting potential failure of calibration equipment is possible with the latest release of GAGEpack from PQ Systems, allowing users to stay one step ahead of their work and preventing costly failures.

A Global Wear Trend Analysis tool in the application quickly analyzes previous calibration results to find gages that are predicted to fail in the near future, using a line of best fit calculation.

Other features in the new release of GAGEpack include expanded barcode capabilities with new, two dimensional barcode capabilities and an available design wizard. Two-dimensional barcodes can store more information than that offered by single dimension barcodes. Expanded options include printing of 2D barcodes for status and location choice lists as well as commands, gage information, and even a free form setting. The software supports the nine most common two-dimensional barcode types.

GAGEpack is a powerful gage calibration solution that maintains complete histories of measurement devices, instruments, and gages. To guarantee timely calibration, the software provides a variety of tools, such as:

• Calibration schedules and reports

• Alerts about failed and past due calibrations

• Gage location and status tracking

• Gage repair records

• Audit trail for traceability

• A Task tab with a "To do" list

• Gage event alert system

Additional features in the GAGEpack solution include:

• Added "Save to file" for Batch Report destinations, including printers, emails, or .htm files that can be viewed in Excel or any browser.

• New settings that save time during calibration events. As you complete your calibration steps, GAGEpack will update the Overall result (Pass/Fail) on the fly, based on results. It will reduce errors while entering results and save countless mouse-clicks moving forward.

• Improved features on the Chart Calibration history screens, with easy navigation through historical data for your calibration steps without needing to right-click
