English translation:"calibrated equipment" ?
Explanation:
Just an idea --- some equipment in a company may be subject to periodic calibration (which means it is subjected to measurements to know its exact performance)
Such equipment would often be monitored using a card (electronic or index) that keeps track of its date of calibration etc.

If not, it might be equipment that is used in conjunction with / connected to some kind of measuring network / system?

Just a few ideas that I hope might help you find the right track

Explanation:
métrologie informatique = computing evaluation

Déf. :
Technique qui permet d'évaluer et de mesurer les performances d'un système informatique.

Note(s) :
Par exemple, on peut mesurer le nombre d'instructions traitées par seconde, le temps de réponse à des demandes, le trafic sur les lignes de communication, etc.
-or-

metrology = métrologie n. f.

Déf. :
Science qui s'intéresse aux côtés théoriques et pratiques de la mesure (sous tous ses aspects), et ce, dans tous les domaines de la science et de la technologie.

Note(s) :
Plus spécifiquement, la métrologie touche l'utilisation des unités, la réalisation des étalons, les méthodes, les techniques et les appareils de mesure, ainsi que la précision obtenue.
Par exemple, les mesures de longueur, de poids, de densité et de température sont étudiées et décrites en métrologie.
