Cal Lab Solutions Releases Metrology.NET Software
Cal Lab Solutions, Inc., a metrology software and consulting company, is releasing Metrology.NET ™ to help customers integrate their different lab software and databases into a single solution. Metrology.NET™ is a new modular approach to metrology automation and data management. Designed to be a system of systems, Metrology.NET™ bridges the gap between the multiverses of software tools currently used in calibration labs by acting as a connector layer, allowing users to build and reconfigure “pieces parts” of different software applications into their total solution.
In a push to continue to support customers using Fluke’s MET/CAL®, Edison’s MUDCATS, Microsoft’s .NET® and various other platforms, Cal Lab Solutions, Inc.’s goal was to get all of their IP, contained in their library of automated calibration procedures, into a single silo. Mike Schwartz, President and Automation Director of Cal Lab Solutions, Inc., explains, “We discovered as a company, we have been developing the same software, just in different formats. To get all of our software working together required one flexible system not tied to any one language or computing platform. So we designed Metrology.NET.” In doing so, Cal Lab Solutions, Inc. completely retooled the automation process into smaller, modular pieces.
The advantages of modularization are many-fold:
- Ability to integrate Metrology.NET™ with different metrology software tools on the market (legacy, current and future applications).
- Integration in stages for minimal downtime.
- Adaptable to unknown standards, hardware and measurement techniques, because it is based on a set of known communication rules.
- Platform and language independence allows customers to use the best tool for the job, as well as leverage software and samples provided by the manufacturer.
- The scalable architecture allows it to run as a network distributed solution or on a single computer.
