Fluke MET/TEAM vs Modus-O

Fluke MET/TEAM manages calibration assets and lab operations, from intake and work orders through calibration, completion, returns, and shipping. Teams can schedule notices for calibration due dates and escalate recalls through as many as three contact levels. Crystal Reports Professional supports customized reports and calibration certificates, using templates or reports created for the purpose. MET/TEAM integrates with Fluke MET/CAL, and both applications can use the same SQL database. It runs in modern HTML5 browsers, including Edge, Chrome, and Firefox. Optional modules provide a customer portal with read-only access to job and asset details, recall reports, and certificates, or let technicians take customer data on-site and import it back to the main database afterward. Pricing is on request, with a 60-day trial. The downloadable trial includes MET/TEAM, its modules, MET/CAL, and three licenses each for MET/TEAM, MET/TEAM Mobile, MET/TEAM API, and MET/CAL. Installation requires a SQL Server instance, which is not included; Fluke notes that setup, training, and configuration may add to ownership costs and that almost all customers need professional assistance.

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.
