Discover what’s new in NEOGAGE v3.8.0: automated compliance determination in metrology, attachment locking for ISO/IATF data integrity, fractional spare parts tracking, and enhanced customization.

We continuously develop the NEOGAGE ecosystem to solve real-world challenges faced by modern manufacturing facilities, calibration laboratories, and Maintenance departments. In our latest update, NEOGAGE v3.8.0, our system architects focused on three key pillars: process automation, audit data integrity (ISO/IATF), and enhanced customization freedom.
Here is a detailed breakdown of the new features and enhancements available in version 3.8.0.
Metrology & Quality Assurance: Precision & Documentation Integrity
The metrology and quality control department is the heartbeat of every manufacturing plant. In version 3.8.0, we introduced features that eliminate repetitive manual labor and safeguard documentation against accidental errors.
1. Automated Compliance Determination for External Activities
Previously, verifying measurement results from third-party service providers (such as external calibration labs) required manual review. Starting with version 3.8.0, NEOGAGE automatically determines compliance status for external activity characteristics based on predefined tolerances.
- Benefit: Eliminates human error, accelerates protocol review times, and provides instant alerts if limits are exceeded.
2. Attachment Edit Locking on Approved Activities
For Quality Managers, documentation tamper-resistance is paramount. In this update, we added an option to lock attachment editing on activities once they are officially approved.
- Benefit: Total audit readiness (ISO 9001 / IATF 16949). Approved calibration certificates and reports cannot be accidentally altered or replaced.
3. Filtering Gauge Sets by Next Activity Date
Managing a large inventory of measuring equipment requires efficient scheduling. The new filtering option allows you to sort equipment sets by the date of their next scheduled action (e.g., upcoming calibration or inspection).
- Benefit: No more missed calibrations. Metrologists can generate a list of tools due for dispatch in seconds.
4. Multi-Currency Support for Gauge Registry
We added support for selecting additional currencies (e.g., EUR, USD) in the equipment purchasing cost field.
- Benefit: Simplified asset registration and more accurate cost analytics across international corporate structures.
Machinery & Spare Parts: Traceability & Precision Inventory
Modules supporting machinery asset management and Maintenance spare parts inventory received updates focused on end-to-end traceability and operational flexibility.
- Product-to-Machine Mapping (Traceability): You can now associate specific manufactured products with the machinery line on which they are produced. In the event of a quality defect, this enables immediate identification of the exact machine or workstation involved.
- Fractional Spare Parts Quantities: Maintenance warehouses do not always operate on whole units. From version 3.8.0 onwards, the system fully supports non-integer spare part quantities (e.g., liters of oil, meters of cable, kilograms of lubricant).
Customization & Analytics: Tailored to Your Organization
B2B software should adapt to your operational workflows—never the other way around. In NEOGAGE 3.8.0, we give users even greater control over dashboard analytics and system nomenclature:
- Custom Dashboard Timeframes: The main dashboard now features a flexible timeframe filter. Analyze key performance indicators (KPIs) on a weekly, monthly, quarterly, or custom date range basis.
- Custom Terminology (Nomenclature): You can now rename menu items and object card sections. If your facility uses specific internal terminology, NEOGAGE can be configured to match your team’s exact language.
- Increased Email Character Limit: We extended the character limit for employee email addresses to streamline integrations within complex corporate domain environments.
Conclusion: Experience NEOGAGE 3.8.0 in Action
Version 3.8.0 marks another major step toward hands-free metrology management, paperless Maintenance operations, and absolute confidence during ISO audits.
