(PQ Systems: Dayton, OH) -- Predicting potential failure of calibration equipment is possible with the latest release of GAGEpack from PQ Systems, allowing users to stay one step ahead of their work and preventing costly failures.

A Global Wear Trend Analysis tool in the application quickly analyzes previous calibration results to find gauges that are predicted to fail in the near future, using a line of best fit calculation.

Other features in the new release of GAGEpack include expanded barcode capabilities with new, two-dimensional barcode capabilities and an available design wizard. Two-dimensional barcodes can store more information than that offered by single-dimension barcodes. Expanded options include printing of 2D barcodes for status and location choice lists as well as commands, gauge information, and even a freeform setting. The software supports the nine most common two-dimensional barcode types.
