Industrial software with something equally important behind it: a team that responds

by | Jul 8, 2026 | Quality, Trust, Visual Factory

At Elecsoft, we provide software solutions for companies whose processes require precision, traceability, and reliability.

But we know that, in day-to-day operations, a good tool is not enough.

It is also important to have a team that understands the industrial environment ⚙️, can adapt to each technical requirement, and is there to respond when a question, improvement opportunity, or new challenge arises on the shop floor.

That is why our Visual Factory solutions combine specialized software with close technical support, designed for quality, metrology, and engineering professionals who need to work with confidence and peace of mind 🫱🏻‍🫲🏻.

Because behind every reliable piece of data, every controlled instrument, and every completed audit, there are also people making important decisions 🧑🏻‍💻👩🏻‍💻.

VF Calibre Tip #12 — Management and Acceptance of Externally Calibrated Gauge Blocks

VF Calibre Tip #12 — Management and Acceptance of Externally Calibrated Gauge Blocks

by | Jun 17, 2026 | Calibre, Quality, TIP, Visual Factory

What should you do after receiving a gauge block certificate?

When a gauge block is calibrated by an external laboratory, the received certificate must be properly incorporated into the metrology management system.

In addition to retaining the document, it is necessary to record the obtained results, maintain the traceability of the standard, and assess whether it remains suitable for use according to the criteria established by the organization or the applicable regulations.

📏 In this VF Calibre Tip #12, we show how to manage the external calibration of longitudinal gauge blocks in Visual Factory Calibre in a structured manner and according to technical criteria.

In the video, you will see how to:

✔ Register an external calibration based on the certificate.
✔ Incorporate the results obtained by the laboratory.
✔ Maintain complete traceability of the standard.
✔ Apply acceptance criteria automatically.
✔ Determine whether the gauge block can remain in service.

💡 A particularly useful feature for companies and laboratories that need to manage reference standards with metrological rigor, traceability, and objective acceptance criteria.

Excel or a Specialized Metrology System?

📊 For years, Excel has been the standard tool for managing calibrations and equipment.

But as data volume and requirements grow, its limitations start to appear:

❌ Scattered information
❌ Manual errors

With a solution like Visual Factory Calibre:

✔ Centralized information
✔ Automatic traceability
✔ Controlled processes
✔ Fewer errors
✔ Faster and easier audits

📦 What about your current Excel data?

👉 Nothing gets lost.
The Elecsoft team can migrate your data to the new system while preserving the full historical record.

💬 Now the question is:
Do you think Excel is still enough to manage your measuring equipment?
Up to how many instruments would you say it is really viable to work this way?

💡 It’s not about abandoning Excel.
It’s about knowing when it’s time to take the next step.

Backups in industrial environments: Are you truly protected?

Backups in industrial environments: Are you truly protected?

by | May 20, 2026 | Quality, Trust, Visual Factory

Do you have your backup strategy properly set up in your industrial environment?

💾 In systems like Visual Factory, where key information on quality, traceability, and production is managed, this remains more critical (and sometimes more overlooked) than it seems.
And when it fails… it’s usually too late.

🔎 Some basic points we often see:

✔ Frequency:
How often are backups performed?
In many cases, daily backups are recommended (or even more frequently if there is a high level of activity).

✔ Retention:
It’s not enough to just create backups—you also need to decide how long they are stored.
A combination of recent and historical backups is usually the most balanced approach.

✔ Validation:
The most overlooked aspect.
Have you ever tried restoring a backup?
Because a backup that cannot be recovered… is useless.
