Calibration Control vs Modus-O

Calibration Control is Windows software for managing equipment and tools that require recurring calibration or maintenance. It tracks assets and supports calibration procedures, preventative maintenance, transfers, check-in and check-out, status changes, and barcode scanning. Users can schedule email or desktop reminders and publish a static HTML due list on an organization’s intranet. Reports include calibration certificates, worksheets, and due reports; existing reports can be customized or rebuilt with the Report Designer. The software supports MS Access or SQL Server databases, with SQL Server cloud hosting offered separately. Security features include authentication, role permissions, password rules, change logs, and SQL Server or Windows authentication. The maker lists 21 CFR Part 11 support features such as audit trails, electronic signatures, password controls, and account locking. Windows 10, Windows 11, and Windows Server 2016 64-bit or later are supported. Pricing starts at $768, paid once for a per-seat base license, and a 30-day free trial is available.

Modus-O provides calibration and metrology management tools for field work and calibration labs. It tracks assets from acquisition through retirement or destruction and records maintenance. Work orders can cover one or multiple assets, go to multiple team members, and automatically add line items for assets and related procedures. During calibration, the system calculates combined uncertainty from base specifications and asset-specific repeatability and reproducibility data, with expanded uncertainty updating during the work. It generates customizable calibration certificates for accredited assets conforming to NIST, ISO 17025, and ANSI Z540 standards. Clients can view assets, make limited updates, and request service through a portal; requests stage a pending work order for dispatch. Procedure and qualifications management and built-in auditing assist with compliance involving ISO, FDA, GxP, HAACP, and FAA. An API and pre-built ERP interfaces sync accounts, contacts, and assets. Mobile users access service data in a browser, including offline. Pricing starts at $95 a month per user license, and customers start with a fully functional 14-day trial.
