In the Life Sciences industry, accurate measurement is essential to product quality, regulatory compliance, and patient safety. Pharmaceutical manufacturers must regularly calibrate critical instrumentation to meet quality assurance and cGMP requirements, yet extended production shutdowns can be costly and disruptive.

This challenge was recently addressed at a pharmaceutical manufacturing site in Italy, where an Emerson customer required calibration of more than 30 flowmeters, including Coriolis and magnetic flowmeters, across active production lines.

The Solution: Onsite Calibration with Emerson Measurement Lifecycle Services

Through a three-year long-term service agreement (LTSA), Emerson delivered onsite calibration services using one of our mobile calibration units. Instead of removing instruments and sending them offsite, calibration activities were performed directly at the customer facility.

This approach enabled Emerson’s service specialists to complete calibration activities efficiently, allowing all meters installed on a single production line to be calibrated within the same day. By working onsite in short, scheduled windows, the customer was able to avoid prolonged production shutdowns.
