What it does

What GAGEpack does

  • Centralized gage inventory tracking

    Maintain a single, searchable record of every measurement device in the facility — location, calibration status, usage history, and custody chain.

    • Full inventory with device location and assignment
    • Usage history and custody chain per gage
    • Reduces lost tools and availability gaps
  • Automated calibration scheduling

    Replace manual spreadsheets and calendar reminders with automatic scheduling, due-date alerts, and documentation — so no calibration is missed between audits.

    • Configurable calibration intervals per device type
    • Automated due-date notifications to responsible owners
    • Overdue and out-of-service status tracked in real time
  • Audit-ready compliance documentation

    Generate the traceability records, calibration certificates, and audit trails required by ISO 9001, IATF 16949, AS9100, and other standards at the click of a button.

    • Secure, tamper-evident calibration records
    • Customizable reports for auditor and customer delivery
    • Standards-aligned documentation templates
  • Closed-loop integration with SQCpack

    Connect gage management directly to SPC: GAGEpack ensures every measurement entering SQCpack comes from a certified, in-calibration device — eliminating data-quality gaps.

    • Shared device status between GAGEpack and SQCpack
    • Prevents out-of-calibration data from entering SPC analysis
    • Full traceability from measurement result to device certificate

Ensure Manufacturing Measurement Accuracy and Reliability

Managing gages manually is time-consuming, error-prone, and risky when audits come around. PQsystems GAGEpack centralizes every detail of your measurement devices, from calibration schedules to usage history, so you can ensure accuracy, reduce downtime, and stay compliant. With built-in automation and flexible reporting, you’ll have the confidence that every gage is ready when you need it.

Comprehensive Gage Tracking

Keep full control of your measurement devices with detailed tracking of inventory, location, usage, and history. GAGEpack centralizes gage data in one system so you know exactly where every gage is, how it’s being used, and when it needs attention. This level of visibility helps reduce lost tools, eliminate bottlenecks, and keep production moving.

Automated Calibration Management

Never miss a calibration again. PQsystems GAGEpack automates scheduling, notifications, and documentation, replacing manual spreadsheets and sticky-note reminders. You’ll always know which gages are due, which are overdue, and which are ready for use. Automated calibration management reduces the risk of downtime and ensures accuracy across every production run.

Improved Data Accuracy

Manual entry introduces errors that compromise product quality. GAGEpack integrates automated data entry and tracking, capturing calibration and usage information consistently and correctly every time. By reducing variability in measurement, manufacturers gain more reliable quality data and can make confident decisions backed by accurate information.

Compliance Support

Audits don’t have to be stressful. GAGEpack makes it simple to comply with industry standards such as ISO 9001, IATF 16949, and other regulatory requirements. Comprehensive audit trails, secure recordkeeping, and customizable reports provide the documentation you need at the click of a button. When auditors arrive, you’re always ready.

Cost Reduction and Efficiency Gains

Optimizing gage usage means lower costs and higher efficiency. GAGEpack helps you extend the life of your gages, minimize repair and replacement expenses, and reduce downtime caused by missing or unavailable tools. With streamlined calibration and better utilization, your team spends less time managing gages and more time producing quality products.

FAQ

Common questions about GAGEpack

Don't see your question? Ask the team.

What is GAGEpack used for?

GAGEpack manages the full lifecycle of measurement devices — inventory tracking, calibration scheduling, usage history, and compliance documentation. It is typically used by quality managers and metrology teams who need to pass ISO 9001, IATF 16949, or AS9100 audits and want to replace spreadsheet-based gage tracking.

How does GAGEpack connect to SQCpack?

GAGEpack and SQCpack form a closed-loop quality system. GAGEpack tracks calibration status and traceability for every device; SQCpack draws on that certified data for SPC analysis. This prevents out-of-calibration measurement data from entering process control charts and ensures full traceability from a process result back to a specific calibrated device.

Does GAGEpack satisfy ISO 9001 and IATF 16949 audit requirements?

Yes. GAGEpack generates calibration certificates, maintains tamper-evident audit trails, and produces the traceability documentation that ISO 9001 clause 7.1.5 and IATF 16949 MSA requirements call for. Auditor-ready reports can be exported on demand.

Can GAGEpack handle multiple facilities or departments?

Yes. GAGEpack supports multi-department and multi-location gage inventories with location tracking and ownership assignment per device. Calibration schedules and notifications can be configured per department or site.

Is implementation handled by Advantive or by a partner?

Advantive provides direct implementation services for all brands. A named implementation lead is assigned at kickoff and stays with the project through go-live. Partner-led implementations are available for select brands when a customer prefers an existing systems integrator.

How does this product connect to Advantive ONE?

Advantive ONE extends each brand with cross-system intelligence — surfacing patterns across your ERP, MES, quality, and warehouse data. It runs as a layer on top of your product, not a replacement. Customers on a current support contract are eligible.

What does the support contract include?

Standard support covers software updates, the customer portal (knowledge base + ticketing), and the Advantive support team during business hours in your region. Premium tiers add dedicated customer success, extended SLA coverage, and 24/7 critical-incident response.
