I just watched this “Fluke Takes Flight” video, in which Fluke Calibration customer Pete Burgio gives us insights into his life and his career as a lead calibration technician for a major airline. One of the things I found interesting is that Pete uses the word “trust” several times throughout the video. That got me thinking about how important it is to trust the measurements we make. And how calibration is a vital part of that ensuring that trust.
Calibration helps keep our world up, running and safe. Those of us who work in this field realize that many calibrations are being quietly made behind the scenes every day. We know that those calibrations enable people worldwide to go about their daily lives without thinking much about the processes and systems that they depend on. And for the most part that’s ok. But sometimes it’s nice to hear from someone like Pete, who tells a compelling story about why calibration is so important.
As we begin a new decade in 2020, perhaps we can all take a minute to acknowledge the importance of measurement and calibration, and allow ourselves to feel proud of what we accomplish on a daily basis.
I hope you enjoy the video!
