Gauge tracking software
One register that answers the shop-floor question: where is this gauge, is it safe to use, and when is it due? Unlimited users on every plan, so the person asking can look it up.
The short version
Gauge tracking is an identity problem before it is a scheduling problem: which gauges exist, where each one is, what state it is in, and what has been done to it. Gaugelog keeps one register with a control number, serial number, type, location, assignee and one of eight statuses per gauge, from active to out for calibration to retired. Due dates and calibration history ride on the same record, and unlimited users on every plan let operators check whether a gauge is available and in date without asking quality to look it up. The shared view replaces separate location lists, due-date sheets and certificate folders with one current answer, while reminders and history keep the register useful after the first inventory.

What a gauge register answers
A tracking system earns its place by answering these questions faster than the person who used to keep them in their head.
Where is this gauge?
Every gauge carries a location, an optional area and an optional assignee. When it goes out for calibration or repair, its status says so, and the register says who to ask instead of who to blame.
Is it safe to use?
Status and due date sit on the same row: an active gauge that is past due is flagged where everyone can see it, and a retired or lost gauge leaves the due list entirely but keeps its full history.
Which one is it?
Control number and serial number are separate fields, so the number engraved on the gauge and the number in your system never fight. Asset number, measurement range and resolution have their own fields too, plus custom fields for whatever your shop adds.
What has been done to it?
Each gauge carries its calibration history with as-found and as-left results and certificates, plus an append-only audit trail of every change to the record itself. The history survives the person who kept it.
Who is allowed to check?
Everyone. Unlimited users on every plan, including Free. Read access is not a license question, so the register can live on the shop floor instead of on one quality manager's laptop.
Track the gauge, not just the due date
Most calibration lists collapse everything into one date column. A gauge that is out for repair, one that is employee-owned and one that is a reference standard need different handling, and a list that cannot say the difference sends people to the wrong drawer. Gaugelog's eight statuses keep the register honest about what the fleet actually looks like.
The register your production team can see
Ask anyone who keeps a locked-down gauge list what they spend their day on: answering whether something is available. With unlimited users on every plan, that answer moves to a screen anyone can open. No one pays to look.
See the plansKeep specialist crib and MSA workflows separate
Gaugelog focuses on the shared gauge register, status, location, assignee, calibration schedule, history and audit evidence. Teams that already run MSA, Gage R&R or barcode-led crib workflows can keep those specialist processes alongside the calibration record. The comparison below documents the product differences with dated vendor sources.

- Tracks identity, location, assignee, eight operating statuses, due dates, calibration history and certificates in one shared register.
- Prints QR calibration labels that open the gauge record; status and assignee keep everyday whereabouts visible to unlimited users.
- Focuses on calibration control and evidence, while borrower-level crib transactions and MSA studies can remain in dedicated workflows.

Calibration management software
Keep the full calibration record chain in one shared system: instrument status, due dates, completed work, certificates, exceptions and audit evidence.
Equipment calibration software
Keep each item of test equipment connected to its due date, completed work, certificate and audit history, whether calibration happens in-house or at an external lab.
Calibration tracking software
Track every gauge, its due date and its history in one register. Use it as calibration log software that also sends escalating reminders and keeps the evidence behind every row ready to export.
Questions, straight answers
Is gage management software different from gauge tracking software?
Gage management and gauge tracking usually describe the same register job: what exists, where it is and what state it is in. Calibration tracking asks when each item is due and whether the evidence holds up. Gaugelog keeps both on one record, so you never run two systems that disagree.
What statuses can a gauge have?
Active, inactive, out for calibration, out for repair, lost, retired, reference only and employee-owned. Retired and lost gauges keep their history but never trigger reminders.
Can it track gauges across more than one building?
Yes. Every gauge carries a location and an optional area field, so one register can hold several buildings without a second system. Name the locations the way your shop already talks about them.
What does it cost?
Pricing is per gauge, never per seat: free up to 30 gauges, then plans from $49 per month billed annually as the register grows. Unlimited users on every plan. No one pays to look.
Can I import the gauge list we keep today?
Yes, as it is. The mapper reads your column headers and suggests a mapping, you confirm it, and supported rows of past calibrations become history. Keep the source file until the imported register is reconciled.
