What is a Calibration & Preventive Maintenance System (CAPS) in life sciences?

A Calibration & Preventive Maintenance System (CAPS) is software that manages the scheduling, execution, and recordkeeping of instrument calibrations and equipment maintenance in GxP-regulated facilities. Voyantix CAPS tracks calibration due dates, tolerance bands, and certificates alongside time- and usage-based preventive maintenance work orders, ensuring every piece of equipment stays within its qualified state.

How does Voyantix CAPS prevent use of out-of-calibration equipment?

Voyantix CAPS applies automated equipment status blocking. When an instrument's calibration lapses or a maintenance task is overdue, its status flips to blocked and connected systems — including LIMS sample testing and E-Logs equipment usage entries — refuse to let that equipment be used until recalibration or maintenance is completed and verified.

Is Voyantix CAPS compliant with FDA 21 CFR Part 11?

Yes. Voyantix CAPS is validated for FDA 21 CFR Part 11 and EU Annex 11. Calibration events, maintenance work orders, and equipment status changes are captured with electronic signatures, tamper-evident audit trails, and complete traceability, ready for regulatory inspection without additional configuration.

Can Voyantix CAPS integrate with LIMS and QMS?

Yes. Voyantix CAPS shares a unified data model with all Voyantix modules. Missed calibrations and overdue maintenance automatically trigger CAPAs in QMS. Instrument status blocks sample testing in LIMS until equipment is qualified again. Calibration and maintenance SOPs link to DMS, and technician training requirements push assignments to LMS. No custom integrations needed.

Asset Compliance & Uptime

Calibration & Preventive Maintenance

Keep every instrument qualified and every asset running. Automated calibration scheduling, preventive maintenance planning, and equipment status tracking — with out-of-calibration holds that stop unqualified equipment before it's ever used.

CAPS

One System for Every Instrument's Calibration and Maintenance Lifecycle

Voyantix CAPS replaces spreadsheets and wall calendars with a single asset compliance system. Calibration due dates, tolerance bands, and certificates are tracked alongside time- and usage-based preventive maintenance work orders — so nothing slips through, and no instrument is used outside its qualified state.

Core Capabilities

Six Capabilities. One Asset Compliance System.

Every instrument and asset — from calibration scheduling through work order execution — is tracked, maintained, and audited within a single system. No spreadsheets, no wall calendars, no missed calibrations.

Calibration Scheduling

Configurable calibration frequencies and tolerance bands per instrument type. Automated reminders fire well ahead of due dates, and every certificate is logged against the asset with full traceability.

Preventive Maintenance Planning

Time- and usage-based PM schedules generate work orders automatically. Technicians acknowledge, execute, and sign off digitally, with checklists tailored to each equipment type.

Asset Registry & Qualification

Complete equipment master list with IQ/OQ/PQ status, location, and criticality tier. Every asset's full calibration and maintenance history is a click away, ready for inspection.

Equipment Status Blocking

Overdue calibration or maintenance automatically flips an asset's status to blocked. Connected systems refuse to let that equipment be used until it's requalified — no manual checking required.

RFID & Barcode Tracking

Scan-to-verify equipment identity and live status directly on the shop floor or in the lab. Technicians confirm the right asset before work begins, eliminating mix-ups on similar equipment.

Compliance Reporting

Audit-ready calibration certificates, maintenance history, and KPI dashboards on demand. Generate compliance summaries and asset health reports in seconds, not days.

Platform Architecture

CAPS at the Center of Your Asset Compliance Ecosystem

Voyantix CAPS shares a unified data model with every Voyantix application. Missed calibrations trigger CAPAs in QMS. Equipment status blocks sample testing in LIMS. No integrations to build. No data silos.
