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.

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.
