Some of us used to watch movies like Matrix and think, ‘Imagine when machines take control of the world!’ While some machines already control parts of our lives, from traffic lights managing our vehicle flow to mobile devices deciding the content we see on social media, there’s a group of machines that were lagging in taking control: measurement instruments. Even though in the factory, the yogurt bottle is filled with a robotic machine that has been part of a complex system for a long time, the scale used to verify the correct filling of the bottle remained isolated, like a castaway in the sea of information. That’s changing now. Digital calibration certificates are here to stay and empower measurement instruments in the game called industry 4.0, 5.0, or whatever comes next. But what is a calibration certificate, and what importance does it have for me? By reading this article, you will learn why it is necessary and what the issuance of digital calibration certificates entails.
