Ellistat's METRO module offers a number of advantages, such as management of all measuring equipment at an unbeatable price, on-line access thanks to its extreme ease of use, reduced instrument management costs, and seamless integration with the other modules in the Quality Suite. The overall aim is to support manufacturers in their production processes, guaranteeing compliance with standards, reducing production costs and improving product quality. The METRO module manages all the measuring equipment used by an industrial or machining company, guaranteeing reliable data and controls. It improves the quality, traceability and efficiency of measurement processes, while reducing the risk of errors and the associated costs.
The typical user profile for the METRO module is an industrial company with more than 50 measuring devices of any kind. The aim is to do away with the Excel file for managing the park
of instruments, which is absolutely impractical and unreliable, not least because of the risk of human error (data entry, omission of dates, etc.), and to limit calibration costs to the strict minimum.
Classic metrology software
Like most metrology software, the METRO module automates complex tasks such as scheduling inspections, generating reports and sending alerts in the event of problems.
The software enables full traceability of all work carried out on measuring equipment, helping companies to comply with current standards and regulations. The creation and management of a life sheet for each instrument provides detailed information on technical characteristics, location and costs, as well as tracking the history of interventions (intervention log, archiving of calibration reports, Gage R&R for measuring the performance of a measuring instrument in terms of repeatability, maintenance, breakdown, etc.). Not to mention tracking the complete life cycle of each instrument (management, acquisition, use, disposal). With centralized management of measuring instruments, the METRO module provides an overview of all measuring equipment, including calibration status, availability and performance, facilitating better resource management. What's more, the METRO module enables you to block the use of an instrument and automatically postpone the next calibration date.
As Davy Pillet, founder and CEO of ELLISTAT, points out: "Operators are concentrating on
only on instruments currently in use, and thus limit calibration costs on
blocked instruments. The METRO license is no longer a cost, but an investment.
By collecting and analyzing data, the METRO module enables you to monitor equipment performance, identify drifts and optimize control processes.
The "Plus" of Ellistat's METRO module
Over and above all the advantages associated with the use of "classic" metrology software, the METRO module benefits from what differentiates Ellistat solutions and makes the company so successful: innovation, performance and ease of use.
As Davy PILLET explains: "Our aim is to democratize all management tools for the
quality. With our new METRO software, we are putting an end to the use of expert software,
complex to use. Increasingly, our solutions are being developed in SaaS mode so that they can be used
make them easily accessible to users via the Internet. They are accompanied by
interactive user guides featuring text, images and video, making intervention unnecessary
our trainers and technicians. In terms of cost, a METRO floating license represents a
investment of €79 per month.
The METRO module offers an intuitive user interface for clear, easy-to-understand
customizable dashboards. Accessible from a variety of devices (PC, tablet, etc.),
smartphones) and multilingual, it is designed for use throughout the company.
What's more, thanks to a single database, the METRO module integrates seamlessly with the following modules SPC, IQC (incoming inspection) and APC (automatic machine tool control) module of the Quality Suite. In conjunction with the SPC module, the system blocks the use of non-calibrated instruments. With the generation of customized reports, users can adapt the plans to their needs.
product and supplier specificities, while defining and implementing
acceptance or rejection criteria. These reports are available online to all employees, and can be shared directly with clients.
Last but not least, the METRO module integrates easily with existing systems (on Premise or on Cloud) thanks to its
full web technology and APIs compatible with MES, ERP and other production management software. The result is greater harmonization of data across the company, promoting fluid collaboration between different departments. Data import and export via CSV files are also supported, offering maximum deployment speed.
