In 2018, as contribution to the area of Metrology for Industry 4.0, the concept of Touchless Calibration (TCal) was introduced. In the next three years, in many papers presented on conferences, the most important aspects of the TCal were considered. All these considerations showed that the TCal could provide a benefit for the manufacturing companies in regards the calibrations of the measurement systems used in the production processes. The next step was the experimental validation of the TCal for DC voltage calibrations and, it was done for two possible cases. The results, analysis and comments on the practical experiment in both cases, were pretty much encouraging. The work presented in this paper deals with the experiment regarding the case of use of TCal through Internet for the companies in the manufacturing industry. The experiment is done for DC voltage calibrations in the range from 0 to 10V by using a VFC (Voltage to Frequency Converter) as a Sensor&Transducer and a FVC (Frequency to Voltage Converter) as a Sensor & Actuator. The experiment is designed and executed without any physical connection between the Sensor&Transducer and Sensor&Actuator. The idea was to investigate the use of TCal through Internet, without the digital communication provided by the Industry 4.0 network. The focus was set on the worst-case scenarios. In this paper, it is shown that, the TCal through Internet can be used by the manufacturing companies for the calibration of measurement systems used to measure DC voltages in the range from 0V to 10V with tolerances (USL – LSL) bigger than 1.0677V (± 0.534V).
