VF Calibre TIP #9 — Attribute MSA 4 (Part 1)

VF Calibre TIP #9 — Attribute MSA 4 (Part 1)

by | Apr 15, 2026 | Calibre, TIP, Visual Factory

📊 Not all controls are numerical. But all of them must be reliable.

In this new VF Calibre TIP #9, we cover Attribute MSA 4, key to validating “OK / Not OK” type controls.

🎥 In this first part you will see:

✔ What an Attribute MSA is
✔ When to apply it
✔ What factors affect its reliability

💡 The necessary foundation before analyzing results.

✔ Apply different views within a module
✔ Filter and quickly locate information
✔ Group records according to different criteria
✔ Customize and save your own views

➡️ In the second part, we will look at another way of handling attribute studies, based on analysis using Kappa and Effectiveness, thus expanding the possibilities for evaluating the measurement system.

Migrating your calibration data doesn’t mean starting from scratch

Migrating your calibration data doesn’t mean starting from scratch

by | Apr 1, 2026 | Calibre, TIP, Trust, Visual Factory

📦 When a company decides to implement a metrology management system such as Visual Factory Calibre, one immediate concern often arises:

What happens to all the data we already have?

📊 Excel spreadsheets containing calibration histories
🗂 Internal databases developed years ago
💻 Standard applications that have become obsolete

For many of our new clients, migrating this data is almost as important as the calibration system itself.

And that makes perfect sense. That history contains years of work, traceability and technical knowledge that cannot be lost.

At Elecsoft, we place great importance on this process.
Over the years, we have carried out hundreds of data migrations to Visual Factory Calibre, adapting to each environment and ensuring a secure transition.

Our objective is clear:

✔ Preserve existing historical data as much as possible
✔ Structure the information correctly in the new system
✔ Avoid data loss or inconsistencies
✔ Facilitate a smooth implementation from day one

Because implementing a new system does not mean starting from scratch.
It means leveraging all the accumulated knowledge and transferring it to a more robust, traceable and audit-ready environment.

VF Calibre TIP #8 — Using Excel Templates in Visual Factory Calibre (Example: Viscosity Cup)

VF Calibre TIP #8 — Using Excel Templates in Visual Factory Calibre (Example: Viscosity Cup)

by | Feb 25, 2026 | Calibre, TIP, Visual Factory

Many companies already have their own Excel templates for performing calibrations, verifications, or other controls.

Internally validated sheets, with formulas, automatic calculations, and structures adapted to each type of equipment.

In this VF Calibre TIP #8, we show how Visual Factory Calibre allows you to work with customized Excel templates directly within the system, while maintaining:

✔ Your usual templates
✔ Your formulas and automatic calculations
✔ Your technical evaluation logic

But adding what Excel alone does not provide:

🔹 Full traceability (equipment, reference standard, date, user)
🔹 Version control and security
🔹 Centralized database records
🔹 Integration with planning and certificates

🎥 In the video, we use a viscosity cup as an example, but this functionality applies to any type of equipment or verification process.

👉 Keep the flexibility of Excel without giving up the robustness of an audited system.

TIP VF Calibre #7 — Configuring the Caliper Family

by | Feb 4, 2026 | Calibre, TIP, Visual Factory

We continue our series of technical videos focused on explaining, in a practical way, how to correctly configure measurement equipment families in Visual Factory Calibre.

In this VF Calibre TIP #7, we show the complete configuration of the Caliper family, covering both qualitative and quantitative aspects of calibration.

🎥 In the video you will see how to:

✔ Define the calibration plan by combining attribute-based checks (e.g. visual inspection) with data entry for correction and uncertainty calculation
✔ Correctly link the instrument to its reference standards, ensuring full traceability
✔ Establish appropriate acceptance criteria for this type of instrument
✔ Apply the full configuration in a practical calibration example

👉 A video designed to clearly explain the configuration logic of these instruments within Visual Factory Calibre.

TIP VF Calibre #6 — Calibration of smooth ‘Go/No-Go’ equipment

by | Nov 26, 2025 | Calibre, TIP, Visual Factory

🔧 Go/No-Go gauges are essential instruments in production for quickly verifying whether a part meets tolerances.
But to ensure their reliability, these tools must be calibrated correctly and with traceability.

In this new TIP VF Calibre #6, we show you how to calibrate smooth Go/No-Go equipment within Visual Factory Calibre, following metrological criteria and ensuring total control of the process.

📏 In the video, you will learn how to:
✅ Configure the family of this equipment
✅ Record the calibration results and obtain the results.
✅ Associate the tool with its reference standard
✅ Automatically generate the calibration certificate
✅ Maintain the traceability and validity of each tool

🎥 See step by step how Visual Factory Calibre manages this calibration in a simple, fast and fully audited way.

👉 Control the reliability of your ‘Go/No-Go’ gauges with the same rigour as any other measuring equipment.

TIP VF Calibre #5 — Attribute Formats: Simplicity and “OK / Not OK” Control

TIP VF Calibre #5 — Attribute Formats: Simplicity and “OK / Not OK” Control

by | Nov 5, 2025 | Calibre, TIP, Visual Factory

⚙️ In Visual Factory Calibre, there are different formats available for performing inspections, and the simplest of them all is the “Attribute” type.

This format allows you to record qualitative results —for example, “OK / Not OK” or “Approved / Rejected”— making it ideal for quick, clear checks, especially in visual or functional verifications.

🎥 In this new TIP VF Calibre #5, we show you how to configure and use attribute formats, the perfect starting point to get familiar with Calibre’s logic before moving on to formats involving correction calculations, uncertainties, or numerical tolerances.

👉 Master the simplicity of attribute formats to get ready for more advanced formats that include correction and uncertainty calculations.
