Abstract

Sofware development aiming measurement automation does not necessarily have a process modernizing purpose but, in most cases, focuses on reducing the risk associated with human errors by transcribing or reading data, as well as reducing the operating time to face the growing demand for services. This paper describes four custom sofware developments for the automation of measurements in temperature, length and pH laboratories, conducted at the National Metrology Laboratory of Uruguay (LATU). The general requirements of involved applications and instruments, the particular needs of each process studied, the difculties confronted during development stages with their different solutions, and most relevant features of final product for each application are presented here.
A method to measure the impact on the reduction of time and risk in each automated process is also suggested.
