Building and facility management
Calibration, availability and verification – all digital. KENEXOS® – test equipment under control. Safe, documented, ready for use.
Challenge & solution
Missing directories and overlooked calibration deadlines leave test equipment unverified and audits at risk. KENEXOS® gives each device a digital file with master data, inspection intervals and status – reminding you automatically and storing every certificate audit-proof.
Whether measuring devices, calibration tools or safety-relevant equipment – an overview of test equipment is essential for companies and operators. In practice, however, central directories are often missing, inspection deadlines are overlooked, calibrations are not verified and devices used are not ready for use in case of doubt. This jeopardizes process reliability and entails legal risks – especially in certified or safety-critical areas.
KENEXOS® manages your test equipment digitally, systematically and audit-proof. Each device has its own digital file – with master data, inspection intervals, history and status display. Pending tests are automatically displayed, documented and evaluated. This gives you full control over all the test equipment used – at any time and from anywhere.
Functions
Your functions
Test equipment management (also known as test equipment management, PMV) is part of quality management. It aims to ensure and maintain the quality, reliability, usability and readiness of test equipment in a company. Through monitoring, test equipment should be able to provide the required performance at all times. Test equipment management is therefore a method for increasing process capability. Chapter 7.6 of the EN ISO 9001:2008 standard requires the introduction of a process that ensures the suitability and functionality of the test equipment. In summary, test equipment management organizes the procurement, use and monitoring of test equipment.
The reversal of the burden of proof in producer liability requires the manufacturer of products to test safety-relevant features, document the result and also provide evidence that the test equipment used is also subject to regular monitoring. Without test equipment monitoring, manufacturers would not be able to prove in the event of damage that everything in their power was done to prevent the product from failing. Although test equipment monitoring alone is not sufficient, without it this proof can never be conclusively provided.
Recording of your test benches and test stations as higher-level objects – including their exact location (building, room number, etc.). Recording of test equipment as objects including the associated test bench. Resubmissions for all necessary work and test steps such as visual inspections, calibrations, metrological checks, etc. Direct assignment of all relevant documents and instructions to your test equipment (e.g. operating instructions, test instructions, etc.). Direct assignment of all relevant processes (invoices, contracts, etc.) to each of your test equipment. Recording of all relevant information on the respective test equipment such as procurement date, serial number, manufacturer, purchase/lease/loan, etc. Automatic resubmission and reminder of upcoming test steps with defined lead time including your individual and digital test report. Internal/external service provider directory with assignment of the relevant persons and assignment of these service providers to test equipment (measurement technology).
All assets can be easily marked directly on the digital building plan and processed in one place using tickets – ideal for regular inspection or approval rounds.
All objects and systems can be created directly in the KENEXOS® Mobile App with all the associated information and organized as required.
Use the KENEXOS® app to locate and analyze all test and operating equipment in real time – for optimized system life cycles, production quantities or transport routes.
