CAF unifies calibration management across all its plants with Visual Factory Calibre

💼 CAF, a leading company in global rail mobility solutions, has trusted Visual Factory Calibre to unify calibration management across all its Vehicle Business plants.
This standardization has not only centralized information and improved traceability but also established common criteria and automated key actions in the calibration subprocess.

📍We share the full testimonial from Juan Fco Rodríguez, Head of Calibrations for the Vehicle Business at CAF:

CAF has been working with ELECSOFT’s Visual Factory Calibre software for several years, but in an isolated way, without maintenance or updates.
In 2022, the decision was made to launch a unification project for the software across all CAF Vehicle Business plants, from a single server and with a single version for everyone.
With the implementation of Visual Factory Calibre, it has been possible to unify and organize a systematic approach to the calibration subprocess at CAF, achieving the following improvements:

  • Establish a single family criterion
  • Define common acceptance criteria for each tool family
  • Automatically notify equipment owners when expiration dates approach
  • Generate equipment certificates directly through the software, since CAF’s internal calibration instructions have been integrated
  • Extract calibration indicators from the subprocess using the software

This software has also been implemented in other CAF businesses, such as RRSS (Maintenance Business), in the WEB version, with the same results. It is currently being installed in the Rehabilitations Business.

Is traceability a guarantee… or just a promise?

Is traceability a guarantee… or just a promise?

In the industry, we talk a lot about traceability, but how often does it stay only on paper?

Real traceability is not an Excel file or a report no one checks. It’s a system that:

✅ Documents every step of the process in real time
✅ Identifies deviations from the source
✅ Connects production, quality, and maintenance
✅ Responds to audits with a single click

In sectors like automotive, pharma, or aerospace, not having traceability isn’t just a risk… it’s a direct threat to business continuity.

With Visual Factory, we help companies move from “we say we do” to “we can prove it.”

💬 Do you think most companies have real traceability, or do they just meet the bare minimum? We’re listening 👇

TIP Visual Factory Calibre #1. Calculate uncertainty without headaches

📏 How do you calculate the uncertainty of your measuring equipment? Manually, with Excel, with scattered formulas?

With Visual Factory Calibre, uncertainty calculations are automated according to the ISO GUM guide and ENAC criteria.
Our system applies different models for equipment with a scale (Normal type), without a scale (Utility type), and for Go/No-go formats, incorporating:

 🔹 Standard uncertainty
🔹 Repeatability
🔹 Scale division
🔹 Hysteresis, eccentricity, and deviations
🔹 Calculation of k according to degrees of freedom (Student)

➕ It also includes customizable fields to reflect “Other Uncertainties” when needed.
