Case Study: Improving Efficiency By Integrating The Calibration System With Maintenance Management System

ERTISA, which belongs to CEPSA, is the only Spanish company that manufactures phenol, acetone, methylamines and derivatives. It is today the second largest European manufacturer of phenol and the fourth largest in the world. At ERTISA, calibration is a tool to warrant the accuracy of the critical measures for the plant processes, the environment and safety. ERTISA looked for a calibration system, which combined three fundamental requirements. The first requirement was simplification of the calibration management system and audits. The second requirement was reduction of the number of working hours for execution and management, making calculations not only of deviations but also of uncertainties. The third requirement was possible integration with the SAP® Maintenance Management System.

In 2006 ERTISA studied the purchase and installation of a calibration management system. The company ultimately chose the Beamex® CMX Calibration Software
