The objective of the paper is to discuss the automation of a precision calibration laboratory in the view of achieving maximal quality of metrological performance. Besides automation of measurement equipment for ease of operation, communication and data processing, basic emphasis is given to reliability of operation, flexibility, and possibility of achieving minimal uncertainty for given measurement equipment. Several software design guidelines are discussed in the case of automation of a high-precision temperature calibration laboratory.
