Why Regular Calibration Saves Money and Reduces Downtime
Regular calibration is more than essential maintenance: it’s foundational to an efficient project. Efficiency in budgeting, efficiency in scheduling, efficiency in productivity . Survey equipment that is calibrated and dependable keeps everything ticking like clockwork. Here’s how…

Reduced Downtime
Each hour, day, or even week in which your instruments are off-site is not just another bite out of your budget, but a blow to your team’s productivity. Waiting until your instruments fail generates unnecessary delays to your project as you wait for them to get sent off for repair, for the repair itself, for the hire replacement to arrive, and then for your instrument to return to you once ready.
A proactive approach to calibration means your services are scheduled, punctual, and it negates nasty surprises which hinder your project. Proactiveness is productivity.

Extended Equipment Life
Being one step ahead by ensuring your instruments are regularly calibrated is taking care of your equipment. Regular calibration identifies any wear-and-tear issues early, and snuffs out any potential problems before they have a chance to develop into something costly.
Keeping your equipment in excellent condition not only optimises their efficiency, but it extends the life-span of the instrument. It also inevitably keeps you from having to fork out for an expensive repair or replacement in the future.
-
Consistent Accuracy and Compliance
Consistent accuracy and compliance does not only reaffirm the reliability of your kit and equipment, but the reliability of your business. You can feel confident in your readings, confident in your compliance with international standards like ISO 9001, and confident in your ability to deliver consistently. Reliable servicing should guarantee that all calibrations are verified with accredited certifications with full traceability. With JB ServicePlus, certifications can be either digital or physical depending on the customer’s preference.

Predictable Budgeting
As outlined earlier in the blog, unexpected malfunctions with your instruments are not just a productivity problem, but a budgeting one too. Unexpected payments made on repairs and replacements is bad for your business. Why take the risk? With JB ServicePlus, calibration costs are staggered over a 12-month window, ensuring that regular service payments are easier and more affordable, and, most importantly, allow for more predictable budgeting with minimal uncertainty.
