Cloud remote calibration saves time and improves safety

In applications such as calibrating sensors atop a fermenter tank or smoke stack, using the cloud-based JofraCloud calibration software from Ametek STC, all set points and readings in between can be done remotely.

Similarly, the cloud software can simplify clean room readings that otherwise would require a change of clothes to enter or exit every time a reading or new set point was needed. And, during a process shutdown, the calibration of multiple sensors in different locations can be done much more simply, the company says.

The software performs remote reading and setting of Jofra RTC and PTC Series temperature calibrators. A 3G Gateway unit with transmission coverage equal to a smartphone can be attached to any of these temperature calibrators to read data from the calibrator every two seconds.

The data is presented as a real-time copy of the calibrator’s display and viewed at www.jofracloud.com with any web-enabled electronic device, such as a PC, laptop or smartphone.
