Hoffmann Group Connected Metrology

Intelligent asset management with Connected Metrology

Management of measuring equipment, exchange of calibration data and acquisition of measurement data

Measurement technology made simple – for all tasks relating to simple and modern measuring equipment management: Thanks to intuitive application, you always have an overview of the storage location and condition of all your measuring equipment. Since Connected Metrology covers all measuring equipment tasks in one and is not just a calibration or test equipment management, you can simply save yourself additional software tools.

Due to the free serialization in the new calibration process, the calibrated measuring devices are digitally linked to the calibration data. With Connected Metrology, you have the complete traceability of your products to the measuring equipment including calibration certificate at any time – of course, always auditable.

Advantages for you as a measurement technology customer

Connected Metrology simple and practical

  • No installation necessary: Data can be viewed and edited anywhere, even on the go on the tablet.
  • Production organization by scan: Assign measuring equipment with the Hoffmann Data Matrix code or its own code and thus assign storage locations, employees and machines and know at any time where the tool is located.
  • Preparation of collection lists in order to have all the measuring equipment due ready for dispatch in time for the award of the contract.
  • Increase process reliability: Ensure by scanning that only the desired measuring equipment is collected and given for calibration.
  • An unlimited number of users allows any authorized employee to have an overview of available measuring equipment at any time.

Other benefits of connected Metrology

  • Easy to use: Clear menu structures, simple job management, practical procedures, simple filter functions for the selection of measuring equipment.
  • Fast: With just a few clicks, data and calibration protocols are assigned to the measuring device.
  • Always up-to-date: Live status of the measuring equipment can be called up at any time.

FAQ – frequently asked questions

  • What support is available for the Connected Metrology software?

    You will be supported at any time by our experienced measuring technicians. In addition, we are working on providing a hotline for all Hoffmann Group digital services in a timely manner.

  • Can your old database be migrated?

    If you can export a list in Excel format (xls or csv) from an existing system, a migration is possible. Only master data can be transferred, which is already supported as parameters in Connected Metrology (e.g. ID number, measuring range, cost center). This may require some preparation work on your part, as each system creates a different export structure. However, we provide guidance that will make migration as easy as possible. An automatic migration of historical calibration protocols is currently not possible. A VDI interface will be available at short notice.

  • Can the customer also manage protocols from other service providers?

    Yes, you can upload PDFs from any source. Each protocol can be supplemented with meta data on the calibration result and the calibration date. If you have the data as a VDI data set, it can also be imported directly.

  • Is the number of users / number of measuring tools limited?

    No, the number is not limited.

  • Is the cloud secure?

    We use Microsoft Azure technology, using only servers in the Europe-West region. Microsoft privacy information can be found here: https://azure.microsoft.com/de-de/global-infrastructure/data-residency/

  • Is an installation required?

    No, it is pure cloud software that can be operated from any modern browser.
