WHO ARE WE AND WHERE
DID WE COME FROM?
The story started in Metroteka – an ISO/IEC 17025 accredited calibration laboratory with over 30 calibration methods for a dozen physical parameters, one of the largest calibration laboratories in Europe in terms of scope and diversity. Metroteka also conducts GxP temperature equipment qualifications and validations for pharmaceutical industry, as well as temperature mapping of storage areas and transport validation of temperature-sensitive products. They are also providing different metrology courses, Lean Six Sigma training and quality management consulting.
Siniša Prugovečki, the founder and the CEO of Metroteka, started his career in astrophysics. But soon his calling became metrology. Not accidentally, since he was born on World Metrology Day. His mission was simple: to find new solutions that make the calibration service more pleasant and useful for the client. With that in mind, the true digitalization and LorisQ app was the logical next step.
Metroteka-Loris was the forerunner. It was an application that calibration laboratory Metroteka developed for two reasons. First, to speed up their internal processes, specifically the production of calibration certificates and second, to improve service to their clients. Metroteka’s clients could easily and quickly access their documents in pdf. Today, there are many apps like Metroteka-Loris on the market, but they all have one big flaw in common: they are much more useful to the calibration lab than to their clients, users of the calibrated equipment.
You may have seen or you even use similar apps from other calibration labs. You can probably access and download your reports in pdf format there. However, this is not very helpful. It doesn’t mean much to you if you have a calibration certificate for thermometers in one app, a service report for the balance in another, and an internal check report for something else altogether on paper or your internal server. So you are forced to have all your equipment-related documents somewhere else in your system, often on paper, or in pdf at best.
This is why LorisQ was developed as a platform and as a completely open system. As users of the application, you decide what goes into your database and manage that data yourself. Only YOU have control over your database. At the same time, you can choose to receive data from all your suppliers. Whether they are repair shops, calibration laboratories or some other service providers related to your measuring instruments or test equipment. You can manage your equipment regardless of the manufacturer, where is it calibrated and whether it is calibrated at all.
LorisQ is a smart app that finally enables the digital transformation of measuring tools and test equipment management. For this transformation to be possible, it combines a database with team management. It offers the digitalization of calibration results – which means data itself. This makes risk analysis and measurement accuracy improvements finally possible. You can plan and carry out all of your maintenance activities and thanks to the alarms and notifications, you will never miss a due date again.
