In 1938, Edelbrock started in a modest four-car repair shop in Los Angeles. Today, the Edelbrock name is known worldwide for high-quality performance automotive components. Manufacturing a wide range of high precision, high performance engine components to meet ISO 9001 certification is a complicated and challenging business. Ensuring that high performance parts are manufactured to proper specifications in each of Edelbrock’s five divisions takes a lot of measurements.  Kevin Brewis, Edelbrock’s Calibration Technician, is responsible for ensuring that the company’s thousands of gages, fixtures, and pieces of test equipment are properly managed, tracked, and calibrated. He uses GAGEtrak Calibration Management Software from CyberMetrics to manage the thousands of calibration records generated each year.

While Edelbrock has used GAGEtrak for over 10 years, Brewis became the main user nearly two years ago and found right away that "GAGEtrak is very user-friendly and easy to learn." Brewis likes that GAGEtrak allows him to track replacement costs on any gage, print monthly workload reports ahead of time and search and track missing tools in the past; allowing him to show an auditor exactly when a tool went missing as needed during an audit. 

In addition to its ease of use and audit capabilities, Brewis enjoys the speed that GAGEtrak provides; he likes that he can "...pull up my calibration records and print a calibration sticker in less time than it takes to boot up my computer." Brewis estimates GAGEtrak "pays for itself ten-fold every year" and noted that "without GAGEtrak, this job would be impossible."

Brewis has had great success with CyberMetrics support team, commenting that "there hasn't been a question they haven’t answered or a problem they haven't solved."

In addition to training and support, CyberMetrics offers several add-on products to compliment GAGEtrak, including a GAGEtrak Calibration Label Kit that Edelbrock uses regularly. It includes a special laminated label printer, connecting cables, software drivers and label design utility. Brewis notes that GAGEtrak "works perfectly with our Brother P-Touch label printer."

While Edelbrock uses the standard desktop version of GAGEtrak, as it best serves its needs, GAGEtrak is also available in a client/server edition for supporting MS SQL Server databases.

Muscle car enthusiasts, hot rod owners, and racing professionals are a demanding group that doesn't take quality or performance lightly. The Edelbrock team knows this well and uses GAGEtrak to keep delivering year after year.

GAGEtrak is used at thousands of facilities worldwide to improve measurement quality, assure compliance and increase efficiency. Contact CyberMetrics today to learn how GAGEtrak will do the same for your company.
