Short summary
Automation in measurement tracking improves quality management by reducing human interaction and manual data risks. To enable this, all metrological and administrative data in quality certificates must be machine-readable. Digital calibration certificates (DCCs) meet this need and enable fully automated compliance checks. A temperature-monitoring demonstrator illustrates their automation potential. Its code is published for reuse.
