Chapter 1
First, review the key points in 30 seconds.
This page is designed to help you rethink temperature measurement not by considering each device individually, but by viewing it as a continuous process of "measure, record, monitor, control, and calibrate." By considering not only temperature sensors, but also controllers, recorders, calibration equipment, and calibration services as a whole, it becomes easier to identify gaps and redundancies in management.
- Individual procurement may seem straightforward at first glance, but the more suppliers you have, the more management effort you'll need.
- Calibration management is an area where the number of contact points and documents tends to increase with the number of devices.
- Consulting on everything at once makes it easier to clarify the scope of what you need to know.
- You don't need to replace everything. You can start by reviewing and utilizing your existing equipment.
The purpose of this page is not to strongly promote a product, but rather to organize the "hidden hassles" that often occur in temperature measurement management and to make it easy to understand what to consult next.
Chapter 2
How many companies do you call each time you need proofreading done?
During the annual calibration season, it's not uncommon to find workplaces where the work is outsourced to different companies—Sensors from Company A, Controllers from Company B, Recorders from Company C, and so on. While each individual product may be procured efficiently, the management process becomes increasingly complex.
The number of different management sheets for each manufacturer is increasing.
Since calibration cycles, certificate formats, and contact information differ from manufacturer to manufacturer, the person in charge has to manage multiple management sheets in parallel. The closer it gets to an audit or review, the more burdensome the task of confirming where everything is located becomes.
The reason it's hard to see is because of the human effort involved.
Even if the product price appears low, tasks such as creating purchase orders, coordinating delivery dates, confirming collections and returns, and reconciling documents still remain. Ultimately, these tasks consume the time of the person in charge.
Buying items individually at a lower price is not the same as making the overall operation easier. This difference becomes apparent later on when it comes to temperature measurement management.
Chapter 3
Chino can be thought of as a whole encompassing "measuring, recording, monitoring, control, and calibrating."
Chino is one of the few companies that can handle temperature sensors, controllers, recorders, calibration equipment, and calibration services all in one place. In many workplaces, these are handled by separate companies, but with Chino, you can see and organize the entire temperature measurement process as a continuous flow.
| Role | Main equipment and services | Meaning in the field |
|---|---|---|
| Measure | Temperature sensors, radiation thermometer, thermal imaging cameras | Determine the temperature accurately using a method appropriate for the subject. |
| Record | Recorder, data logger | This allows for later review of temperature history and deviations. |
| Monitor | Surveillance systems, wireless equipment | Continuously monitor the status of remote locations or multiple locations. |
| Control | Controllers, instrumentation systems | Bring the temperature closer to the set temperature and stabilize process. |
| Calibration | Temperature calibration equipment, standard sensors, calibration services | Verify the reliability of the measurements and prepare for audits and quality control. |
Common reactions at trade shows
We sometimes get surprised comments like, "I didn't know Chino made more than just data recorders," or "I thought they were just a sensor company." Customers who are already using some of our products may not realize that we can also provide consultation on other equipment and calibration.

In summary, what will change?
There will be only one point of contact.
Ordering, scheduling, and inquiries are all handled through a single point of contact. This reduces the time spent wondering, "Who should I ask about this?"
Management workload will decrease.
This makes it easier to centralize the management of calibration cycles and certificates. It also reduces the burden of re-gathering information before audits and reviews.
It is easy to organize the necessary scope.
Calibration certificates and JCSS calibration certificates vary in scope and format depending on the manufacturer. This makes it easier to organize the necessary calibration concepts to match the requirements of your workplace.
JCSS calibration is a calibration system based on national standards. However, the necessary scope varies depending on the specific situation, so it's important to organize the requirements according to your needs rather than sticking to a single standard.
Chapter 5
This is suitable for the following situations.
- A site where temperature measuring devices from multiple manufacturers are mixed together.
- There are always some people in charge who get flustered before audits and reviews.
- In situations where calibration certificates are managed separately by manufacturer,
- We want to start by consolidating the management of some of the equipment.
You don't need to change everything at once.
You don't need to switch all your equipment from the start. It's more practical to identify where the current workload is concentrated and start by reviewing the areas where you can expect the most significant improvements.
Chapter 6
Things to organize before consulting
Roughly organizing the current situation makes it easier to figure out where to start to reduce the burden. It's okay if you don't know everything yet.
The following information will help us proceed with the consultation.
- Manufacturer name and number of devices currently in use
- Calibration cycle and timing of calibration
- Required certificate types
- The most time-consuming task right now
- Do you want to summarize just a part of it, or do you want to review the whole thing?

FAQ
Can I consult with you about temperature sensors only?
Yes. We can assist you with inquiries about just temperature sensors, just recorders, or just calibration. We can start by listening to your current configuration.
I'm not sure if JCSS proofreading is necessary.
Whether or not it's necessary depends on audit requirements, internal standards, and requirements from business partners. First, clarifying the scope of necessary certificates will make the decision easier.
Is it pointless unless I switch everything to Chino?
No. We can gradually consider which areas to consolidate to make management easier, while making use of existing facilities.
What should I tell them when I go for a consultation?
Knowing your current equipment configuration, the number of manufacturers, calibration cycles, and any problems you're experiencing will help us proceed more smoothly. Any information you can provide is sufficient.
First, why don't we talk about the current management situation?
Please tell us where your equipment is located, how you collect calibration certificates, and what the most time-consuming part is. We'll work together to come up with a practical way to manage it.
Consult about the current management situation.
