From calibrated instruments
to trusted results.
Open Gauge is a self-hosted registry for sensors, calibration coefficients, and certificates — with full version history, audit traceability, and ISO/IEC 17025-grade reproducibility.

Specifications
Built on open standards, not lock-in
Built for traceability, designed for engineers.
A modern stack for managing instruments at lab, plant, and fleet scale.
Version-controlled coefficients
Every offset, gain, and polynomial term is committed with diffs, authors, and rollback — just like Git.
ISO 17025 traceability
Immutable audit log, calibration history, and signed certificates built for accredited labs.
API-first, webhook-native
REST + OpenAPI 3.1. Every workflow in the UI is scriptable from CI, ERP, or edge gateways.
QR-tagged in the field
Print asset labels and scan them on a phone or tablet to jump straight to the record.
Sensor health & drift scoring
Calibration age, drift, and uptime fused into a single instrument health score.
Self-hosted by default
Docker Compose today, Kubernetes when you need it. Your metrology data never leaves your network.
A clean, layered system you can audit.
No black boxes. No vendor lock-in. Open formats, open protocols, open source.
- Stateless FastAPI workers — scale horizontally behind any load balancer
- PostgreSQL as the single source of truth for every record
- MinIO / S3-compatible storage for certificates and raw calibration files
- Pluggable auth — local users, OIDC, or enterprise SSO via Keycloak
Every instrument. Every change. Every certificate.
Asset registry
Searchable, taggable, exportable. Built for thousands of sensors, instruments, and reference standards.
Calibration history
Diff coefficients between revisions just like a code review.
Signed certificates
PDF + JSON, cryptographically signed and tamper-evident.
REST-first. JSON everywhere.
Scriptable from CI, edge gateways, lab notebooks, or your ERP. OpenAPI 3.1 schema published with every release.
