Software for Gage Management and Gage Capability Test
The “Gage Management” and “Gage Capability Test” Modules from Babtec
Gage management and gage capability test are essential business processes for reliable and compliant quality assurance. After all, what good are the most complex inspections, measurements and approvals if you cannot trust the quality of the gages and thus the results of quality assurance? With Babtec's integrated gage management software, you retain full control over your gages. The gage management software helps you continuously monitor the performance of your gages. In addition, gage capability test ensures that your gages are validated for suitability and have the necessary precision and that measurements remain reliable and compliant with standards.

The close integration of gage management and gage capability test creates a solid foundation for well-founded quality decisions. Thanks to user-defined catalogs for gage status, inspection instructions, gage types, etc., you can customize the gage management software to your individual needs. At the same time, you always meet the highest quality requirements thanks to support for proven standards such as AIAG MSA and VDA Volume 5. The gage management software also helps you meet the requirements of ISO 9001 and similar standards.
Features & Functions of Your Gage Management Software
Plan Ahead and Stay Informed
The requirements for your gages are unique. That is exactly what we want to reflect with our gage management software. As part of gage monitoring, you can dynamically adjust inspection intervals to the actual use and stress of your gages as needed. In the event of increased wear, inspections are automatically scheduled earlier, while rarely used gages can be checked at longer intervals. The intelligent notification system of the gage management software proactively informs you about upcoming inspections, calibrations or maintenance measures. This effectively prevents the use of uninspected gages.
Digital Calibration Data Exchange
If you have your gages calibrated by external service providers, simply use the established interface according to VDI/VDE 2623 to digitally exchange all relevant data and information about your gages with the calibration service provider of your choice. As soon as you receive your gages back, use the convenient import function of the gage management software to transfer the calibration results to your gage management system. This saves you valuable time and prevents transfer errors.
Complete Gage History
With Babtec's gage management software, you always have an overview of the location, usage and condition of all gages: You can document the entire life cycle from first use to disposal. Every inspection, every change of location and every maintenance task is automatically recorded and can be traced at any time. Gage management gives you quick access to all historical data – perfect for the next internal audit or upcoming (re)certification. You can also export inspection reports and history overviews to various standard formats with just a few clicks.
Internal Inspection
Regular internal inspections ensure reliable gage monitoring. You can refer to inspection instructions and inspection standards based on the most important standards. Alternatively, you can simply store your own individual company-internal inspection specifications.
Flexible Data Capture
Instructions are based on current guidelines, while the necessary standards are used to determine the gage-specific target specifications. Of course, users of the gage management software can also use the existing instructions as templates for their own or specialized inspection instructions. The results of internal calibrations, monitoring inspections or capability tests can be recorded either manually via keyboard or automatically via interfaces for transferring measured values directly from the gage, a measuring machine or a test fixture. Measured values exported from the measuring equipment in file form can be conveniently imported into the gage capability test. All stored results can be used within the gage management software to create test reports or reports and to determine important key figures.
Standard-Compliant or Individual Gage Capability Test
Gage capability must be ensured as early as the product and production process approval phase for new products. Beyond gage management, companies are therefore required to demonstrate capability tests for those gages that are used in series production. Our wizard guarantees that all relevant key data required for the correct examination of your gage capability is recorded in full. Perform capability tests efficiently: The intuitive wizard guides you through the entire process – from preparation to evaluation. Predefined standard procedures in accordance with the applicable guidelines of MSA AIAG and VDA Volume 5, as well as the option of individual configuration, offer flexibility. The automated calculation of all relevant key figures after completion of the test provides an immediate and clear evaluation of the gage capability test. Clear graphical representations make the results easy to understand and support you in making important decisions.
