Frequently Asked Questions
Accessibility
1.- Do I lose the data if the computer is damaged?
No, because it is entirely in the cloud.
2.- Can I log in on different computers simultaneously with the same user?
Yes, the MSA Gage Pro system is cloud-based, allowing you to log in from different computers.
3.- Do I have to keep using Minitab to conduct studies?
No, because the system has already prepared studies for repeatability, reproducibility, linearity, bias, and stability.
4.- Can I access it from my mobile device?
Yes, MSA Gage Pro allows access from any PC, tablet, or phone (Android, iOS).
5.- Can I access it using my Microsoft Teams or Google account?
Yes, MSA Gage Pro allows access by registering an email address or through authentication with Microsoft Teams or Google Workspace.
Management
6.- Does it send alerts when items are expired or about to expire?
Yes, you will receive alerts before calibrations, MSA studies, maintenance, and work orders expire.
7.- Can procedures be uploaded to the MSA Gage Pro System?
The MSA Gage Pro System can upload calibration services or MSA studies: Repeatability and Reproducibility, Linearity, Bias, and Stability.
8.- If a piece of equipment is lost or damaged, how do I classify it?
It is possible to modify that measuring tools as damaged or unavailable and add notes.
9.- Can I configure the frequency and email for alerts?
Yes, you can define both the email address to which you will receive alerts and the notification frequency (daily, biweekly, monthly).
Measuring instruments
10.- How can I achieve traceability in the MSA Gage Pro Management System?
