Transition to DCC-based calibration management: findings from proof-of-concept investigations

Tuukka Mustapää
Abstract:
The introduction of standardized data formats for measurement and calibration data such as the digital calibration certificate (DCC) will enable further automation of calibration-related processes. This will open new possibilities for optimization of calibration processes in industrial applications. This paper describes some of the challenges and possibilities related to the transition to DCC-based calibration processes and management in the process industry. The findings presented are based on case examples and proof-of-concept projects from the process industry, in which automation of a calibration process is pursued using a combination of systems from multiple providers. The investigations and findings also suggest that parts of the DCC data structure could potentially be beneficial also for other applications, in which exchanging of calibration data is needed, but system integration is otherwise challenging due to lack of a suitable harmonized data structure.
