PMM.Net by CAQ AG is a calibration management software designed to support the entire lifecycle of gauge management. It facilitates planning, administration, control, calibration, and capability analysis of measuring equipment, ensuring reliable and audit-proof quality assurance. The software handles simple to complex gauges, integrates measurement system analysis (MSA), and supports compliance with standards such as VDI/VDE/DGQ 2618 and VDI/VDE 2623. It enables efficient gauge management by automating calibration workflows, providing detailed gauge histories, and supporting internal and external calibration processes. PMM.Net also includes guided procedures to reduce manual errors and supports data exchange with external calibration service providers.
