The importance of laboratory control in modern realities
It is very difficult to find equipment from new suppliers that would match the level and quality that was previously available, because the desire to meet increased needs and the emergence of vacant business niches led to a sharp increase in production turnover to the detriment of product quality.
And what happens if, for example, substandard measuring equipment is used in the vehicle production system? A situation will arise that directly threatens the safety of passengers. And such situations will certainly arise in various fields of production.

The purpose and uniqueness of the laboratory "Metrology, Standardization and technical measurements"
Before the change in the global political situation in the laboratory (which at that time belonged to Mitutoyo), it was planned to carry out work on the verification of measuring equipment. Due to the prevailing circumstances, in 2022, Measuring Solutions changed its supplier (to DASQUA) and changed the direction of work towards laboratory control and quality control of the supplied equipment.

But this does not mean that the verification work has lost its relevance. At the moment, a complex of laboratory accreditation activities is underway, as the Measuring Solutions company has inherited a laboratory with unique characteristics in which it is possible to perform the most accurate measurements:
- the laboratory has a two-meter insulated foundation;
- double walls were erected during the construction;
- a redundant temperature and humidity control system was installed;
- the laboratory is equipped with one of the four (!) Labconcept Nano 1100 long meters available in Russia from the Swiss company TRIMOS with an error of 70 nm in the range up to 1100 mm.
Tasks and functions of the laboratory "Metrology, Standardization and Technical Measurements"
Currently, the laboratory performs the following tasks:
- Verification of suppliers' products. It is necessary to ensure that the products have the criteria and parameters specified by the supplier, as well as to legitimize the foreign measuring instrument. After that, it is enough for any metrologist to study the type description, the application to it, and the verification procedure to understand which instrument he is dealing with.
- Exclusion of items that do not comply with the standards from the nomenclature.In order to avoid reputational risks for our company, for industry and for the end user, after laboratory testing, those positions that do not meet our standards and market demands in terms of quality and technical parameters are excluded
Thus, the main function of the laboratory "Metrology, Standardization and Technical Measurements" is strict quality control of the supplier's products.

Advantages for the customer when contacting the laboratory "Metrology, Standardization and technical measurements"
- Huge time savings. Delayed delivery dates are a fairly common phenomenon in today's reality. And you can imagine such a situation: for several months, the company waits for delivery, and eventually a defective batch arrives, and the company is forced to re-order products and wait for delivery again. This is a great reputational and financial risk, as agreements are disrupted, and penalties are imposed on the company.
- Only proven and high-quality products in the product range. The quality and compliance check in the laboratory "Metrology, Standardization and Technical Measurements" identifies those nomenclature items that do not meet the standards and declared parameters. This narrows the product range somewhat, but insures the customer from unsuccessful purchases and unscrupulous suppliers. As a result, only the equipment that has been tested and calibrated will reach the consumer. This allows the consumer to produce industrial products in accordance with strict quality control.
Conclusion
M.Solutions ("Measuring Solutions") is a Russian company that previously represented the world-famous manufacturer of measuring equipment and tools MITUTOYO in the status of its regional division and, due to the prevailing geopolitical situation, became the successor of its professional competencies and best traditions.
M.Solutions Measuring Solutions managed to retain the highly qualified team of Mitutoyo RUS LLC, which not only continues to follow recognized quality criteria, but also makes a significant contribution to our country's achievement of technological sovereignty, helping the domestic industry to develop new types of products.
