SEG Automotive Treto: almost three decades with Visual Factory Calibre

SEG Automotive Treto: almost three decades with Visual Factory Calibre

SEG Automotive Spain – Treto plant (Cantabria). Testimonial by Felipe Cruz, Calibration Manager.

📍 We share the testimonial:

At the Treto plant of SEG Automotive, we have been using Visual Factory Calibre since 1996 (almost three decades).

Many changes have taken place over these years: from producing exclusively alternators and starter motors when we were still part of the Bosch Group, to new products for sustainable mobility, such as electric motors and electronic controllers for micro-hybrid vehicles, motorcycles, and electric bicycles.

Throughout all these years, Visual Factory has enabled us to manage the calibration of all our inspection and measurement equipment across different areas: dimensional, force, torque, electrical, temperature…

We would mainly highlight the following aspects:

• Great flexibility in the criteria used to view inspection and measurement equipment: by expiration dates, families, production lines, departments…
• Allows the customized creation of calibration certificates, especially useful for complex machines such as test benches, where a large number of parameters are verified.
• Ease of use.
• Immediate support from ELECSOFT for issues, questions, or installation of new versions.

📊 The experience of SEG Automotive Treto highlights the flexibility, usability, and agile support of Visual Factory Calibre for managing multi-technology calibrations with traceability and efficiency.

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)

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.

Troqueles Gaco strengthens its metrological management and statistical process control with Visual Factory Calibre and SPC

Troqueles Gaco strengthens its metrological management and statistical process control with Visual Factory Calibre and SPC

🏭 Troqueles Gaco S.L., based in Irún (Gipuzkoa), is a group of companies dedicated to the manufacturing of tooling and stamped parts for industry in general. With a solid track record and ISO 9001 certification since 1998, the company maintains a strong commitment to quality and continuous improvement.

📍 We share the testimonial of Jesús Corredor, Quality Manager at Troqueles Gaco S.L.:

We have held ISO 9001 certification since 1998 and, for years prior to that, we have relied on Elecsoft’s support for the management of measurement and testing equipment, as well as for statistical process control.

In both cases, the application environment is user-friendly and easy to use; whenever we have had questions, the support received has always been outstanding—fast and effective.

When we needed to automate the recording of data collected with CMMs in the SPC application, the result was also excellent.

The applications are continuously being updated, incorporating the needs that arise from their clients.

In short, highly recommended.

📊 The experience of Troqueles Gaco S.L. shows how the combination of Visual Factory Calibre and Visual Factory SPC makes it possible to optimize traceability, automate process control, and ensure the reliability of metrological data, consolidating a strong and sustainable quality culture.

TIP VF Calibre #7 — Configuring the Caliper Family

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
