4Sight2 from Druck - Easy-to-Use, Cost Effective and Scalable Calibration Management

Instrument calibration stands as a critical activity in process control industries. It ensures that the tools and devices used to monitor, measure, and control various processes deliver accurate and reliable results. The value of this activity, foundational to production quality, safety, and efficiency, is irreplaceable.

When we speak about guaranteeing quality, instrument calibration takes center stage. Industries like chemical, pharmaceutical, food and beverage, and oil and gas depend heavily on precise measurements to produce consistent, high-quality products. A pharmaceutical company, for instance, cannot afford slight deviations from specified parameters as they could lead to non-compliance with standards or the production of ineffective drugs. Regular calibration of instruments, therefore, forms an essential part of quality control.

Instrument calibration also plays a significant role in maintaining safety, becoming extremely critical when industries work with hazardous substances or high-risk processes. For example, a chemical plant's incorrectly calibrated pressure sensor could lead to over-pressurization and dangerous incidents. In this case, regular calibration can reduce the risk of equipment failure and the associated hazards, thus providing a safer environment for the facility and its workers.

Furthermore, the calibration of instruments can enhance operational efficiency. Instruments delivering accurate readings minimize the likelihood of process anomalies, downtime, and product waste, contributing to the efficiency of operations. By detecting and correcting inaccuracies early on, industries can avert expensive repairs or replacements and potential penalties from regulatory bodies for non-compliance.

4Sight2 from Druck, a Baker Hughes business, offers easy-to-use, cost effective and scalable calibration management  that is equally effective for single use or global multi-site operations. This configurable software is designed to Empower Your Organization to Operate Simply and Securely, connecting your people to instruments, data and enhanced analytics.

The Importance of Portable Pressure Calibrators for Industrial Instrumentation Technicians

Portable pressure calibrators are important for industrial instrumentation technicians because they allow them to accurately and efficiently calibrate pressure measuring devices, such as pressure gauges, transmitters, and switches, in the field. This is especially important in industries where process control and safety are critical, such as oil and gas, chemical processing, and power generation.

Accurate pressure measurement is essential for maintaining process control and ensuring the safety of personnel and equipment. Portable pressure calibrators allow technicians to calibrate pressure measuring devices on site, ensuring that they are properly calibrated and able to accurately measure pressure. This helps to ensure that the process is operating within the desired range and reduces the risk of equipment failure or process upsets.

In addition, portable pressure calibrators are often used in field service and maintenance applications, where it is not practical to bring the pressure measuring device back to a calibration laboratory. By using a portable calibrator, technicians can quickly and easily calibrate the device on site, reducing downtime and improving efficiency.

Overall, portable pressure calibrators are an essential tool for industrial instrumentation technicians, as they allow them to accurately calibrate pressure measuring devices and ensure the safety and reliability of process control systems.

Provide Your Field Technicians A Safer, More Compact, and Efficient Portable Pressure Calibrator

Without the proper equipment, pressure calibration can be challenging.

The men and women who do it endure piercing cold and scorching heat. Work occurs on offshore rigs, in enormous refineries, along massive pipelines, and pharmaceutical plants. Field techs climb ladders in the wind, trek to remote sites in the snow, and peer at gauges in the sun. Instrument techs keep the world functioning. The gear must stay up.

Modern calibrators may not help much. The devices are sometimes ill-equipped for the environment, have a small pressure range, are challenging to operate in confined spaces, or are hard to read in bright light.

The Druck DPI610E keeps the simple design and other appealing qualities that helped fuel the DPI610's popularity, but it also delivers more. The DPI610E is lightweight and straightforward to operate. It has a touch screen operated while wearing gloves. Aside from the screen, a row of buttons that a technician can use when working in frigid conditions with their hands encased in thick gloves. 

The DPI610E operates in practically every condition. From the chill of winter to the seething heat. The device is intrinsically safe, which means it cannot create enough heat, energy, or spark to trigger an explosion in a hazardous environment, and it can contain a blast if one occurs. The DPI610E gives specialists the absolute peace of mind they require to successfully accomplish their complex, crucial tasks.

Supply Chain Reliability for Pressure Sensors

Massive disruptions to global supply networks began with the global pandemic in March 2020. The troubles swiftly expanded to worldwide manufacturing, particularly those products requiring silicon chips, semiconductors, and other digital and electronic components. Pressure sensor producers, for example, are experiencing extraordinarily long lead times on all sensors due to the supply chain issue. 

Despite global chip scarcity and the impact of supply chain restrictions, Druck has continuously expanded its production capacity to satisfy explosive demand for its pressure sensors.

The UNIK 5000 is a high-performance configurable solution to pressure measurement employing modular design and lean manufacturing techniques. Based on micro-machined silicon technology and analog circuitry, the combination enables best-in-class performance for stability, low power, and frequency response. The UNIK 5000 platform allows you to quickly build up your sensor to match your precise needs and configure a specific solution to your pressure measurement requirements. Lead times for the UNIK 5000 are still maintained at 3-4 weeks!

Choose Druck for Supply Chain Confidence

Since the pandemic, supply chain disruptions have posed a significant threat to the global economy. Factory closures and lockdowns in China and several other nations, labor shortages, strong demand for commodities, logistics network disruptions, and capacity limits have resulted in significant delivery times. Manufacturers have had to make tough choices, even relinquishing agency approvals on whole product lines.

Druck maintains regular lead times on pressure instruments and has shortened lead times from 4 weeks down to 3 to meet manufacturers' demands, particularly those facing supply chain disruptions. 

According to a poll done by the National Association of Manufacturers, 36% of companies suffer supply chain disruptions, with items arriving late or not at all. Druck works closely with its supply chain to maintain a 3-4 week delivery on the UNIK 5000 series. 

As firms look for alternative suppliers, Druck demonstrates their dependability as a domestic pressure instrument supplier, serving critical industries.
