Upgraded Scope

Northeast Metrology is pleased to announce that our organization is now a 17025 accredited CMM testing laboratory. This accreditation was added during the re-certification audit this summer. The addition of the testing scope allows NEM to service our Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) and First Article Inspection (FAI) customers with a level of quality not offered by other testing laboratories in the area.

Buyer Beware

In a rough economy, the need to hold and increase your customer base is critical. Recently, some laboratories have offered "price matching" and various discounts to entice customers. As with any product or service, you get what you pay for. While other labs offer what appear to be great deals, everything has a price: one price for calibration with no certificate, another for a certificate with no data, a third for certificates with data. At Northeast Metrology, we don't play pricing games - by using recognized industry standards and procedures, and always providing certificates with data, your purchase is a sound investment in the predictable maintenance of your quality system. Sure, you'll see some immediate savings, but it will cost you in the long run.

Web-Based Calibration Database

In 2010, Northeast Metrology unveiled our latest tool to assist customers in maintenance of their gage tracking and calibration - www.nemcal.com. NEMCAL is a web-based database for tracking metrology equipment. Because the database runs in a web browser via the internet, there is no need for separate software, version upgrades, compatibility with operating systems, etc. The online database can be tailored to the customers needs - from a simple way to track and view certificates, to a more sophisticated platform involving barcoding and scanning capabilities, nemcal.com delivers a powerful tool for any sized company.
