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.

Visual Factory SPC: simplicity, agility, and compliance for the automotive industry

Visual Factory SPC: simplicity, agility, and compliance for the automotive industry

In an environment where time matters and errors are costly, statistical process control must be agile and useful right from the shop floor.

That’s why we created Visual Factory SPC, a solution that doesn’t overwhelm with complex calculations but focuses on what really matters:

🔹 Complying with automotive industry standards (such as IATF 16949)
🔹 Enabling self-control directly from the workstation
🔹 Allowing operators to input data without depending on technical staff
🔹 Detecting and anticipating variations before they impact production

Quality shouldn’t be managed from the office, but where it’s actually produced.

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 👇

Migrating data is NOT starting from scratch, it’s moving forward without losing accumulated value

Migrating data is NOT starting from scratch, it’s moving forward without losing accumulated value

When a company decides to invest in solutions like Visual Factory Calibre, it’s common to already have a significant volume of data recorded in their current systems.

📁 Old databases
📊 Custom-built applications
📄 Excel spreadsheets
💻 Standard software, sometimes obsolete

And the concern is logical:

What happens to all that information? Do we have to start from zero?

👉 At Elecsoft, we know that this data is valuable. That’s why we offer customized data migration services that allow you to adopt our solutions without giving up the work already done.

Our team analyzes your current system and designs a migration process tailored to your environment so the transition to Visual Factory is smooth, safe, and loss-free.

✅ Keep your historical data as much as possible
✅ We can adapt to your current needs
✅ Gain traceability from day one
✅ Reduce implementation times

No matter if you’re coming from an Excel sheet or a complex industrial system: migrating well means starting better.
