technology, rock crushing and flow control
solutions company. Prior to the merger, the
companies now forming Metso go back to the
1750’s with a history of quality within
their industries. Today Metso offers
products and services for many different
industries focusing on mining and
construction, energy, automation, recycling
as well as pulp and paper. Metso's offering
also includes selected products for dairy, oil and gas industries.

On using GAGEtrak
|
“Cloning – this is a great
feature!”
|
|
 Jeff
Vuick, the GAGEtrak user at the Aiken
facility has used the product for about
one year, beginning when the company
purchased it in 2009. It was Vuick’s
supervisor who had used GAGEtrak at a
previous company who recommended the
software and brought it into the Aiken
facility. The move to GAGEtrak was a big
one as the company had previously used
spreadsheet programs and paper notices
to track calibrations.
Vuick indicates that GAGEtrak was all
new to him as he undertook the task of
transferring everything from the old
system into GAGEtrak. GAGEtrak provides
information on when the calibration is
due, on which gage or instrument,
whether the gage is in-house or
outsourced. And, as Vuick notes, “…this
system is known to the ISO auditors,
this is a big plus for our company”. One
of Vuick’s favorite features in GAGEtrak
is the Cloning function which helped
immensely in setting up GAGEtrak.
Vuick notes that while additional
product training would be useful,
GAGEtrak is “a helpful tool for us to
use and track our calibrations for ISO”.
In addition to its many optional
enhancement products, CyberMetrics
offers regional classroom, on-site and
consultation services to help customers
get the most out of their GAGEtrak
software.
GAGEtrak is a new tool in the Metso
Aiken family that helps streamline
calibration tracking and assures Metso
will pass ISO audits with ease.
Metso
does not compromise on their service and
customer offerings and also does not
compromise on their choice of quality
management software - that's exactly why
they chose GAGEtrak - to help them keep delivering
uncompromising quality year after year.
