LIMS system solution
Laboratory information management software
Accelerate time-to-market of new product development while maintaining overall product quality — inbound to outbound. Integrate your laboratory information management system (LIMS) with your manufacturing execution system (MES) to mitigate recalls, reputation damage and revenue loss.
Why use laboratory information management software?
Consumers only accept premium-quality products, and market regulations around the globe are continuously becoming more complex. To ensure products comply with these growing expectations and sustainability regulations, manufacturers need to close the quality loop from inbound to outbound within their company. How? By cost-efficiently organizing laboratory activities and implementing short throughput times.
To accomplish these goals, manufacturers need to leverage LIMS software. LIMS solutions provide a single source of truth to help efficiently manage project setup, laboratory activities and quality analysis, ensuring goods manufacturing practice (GMP) compliance and comprehensive reporting.
How can you ensure fast delivery of innovative products with consistent quality that meet customer, legal and sustainability requirements, while cost-efficiently organizing lab activities and assuring short lab throughput times?
Implement an integrated digital solution that enables flexibility and scalability in quality test execution for research and development (R&D) and quality control (QC) departments.
Benefits of laboratory information management software
An integrated LIMS solution helps drive efficiency in laboratories by optimizing the entire workflow from sample registration and test execution to validation and reporting. Equipment management and instrument connectivity further reduce lab throughput times, ensuring reliable analysis results.
Organize projects, objectives and lab activities
Efficiently manage all stages of new product definition from registration to test execution and result validation.
Facilitate cross-department collaboration
Receive test requests from departments or systems directly in the LIMS. Automatically schedule tests across different labs while accounting for variables such as equipment availability, due date and workforce skills.
Maintain quality of analysis
Ensure instruments are calibrated for analysis through competence management of the lab operators, embedded statistical quality control (SQC) rules and an equipment management solution.
Increase efficiency through instrument connections
Achieve GMP compliance for regulated industries through the extended, printable audit trail and an integrated laboratory execution system (LES). Provide comprehensive reporting on all activities performed.
Accelerate production with LIMS system software
Leverage the comprehensive digital twin to optimize your laboratory testing operations. Using a single source of truth, you can efficiently manage project setup, laboratory activities and quality analysis — ensuring goods manufacturing practice (GMP) compliance and comprehensive reporting.
Laboratory testing
After the laboratory receives a test demand including all relevant information about the material, component or prototype to be tested, plan the test performance and evaluation details and schedule the execution.
Laboratory testing deliverables
The LIMS solution will share test results for a sample, prototype or DUT to the appropriate stakeholder. If there is an out-of-spec result, exception handling can be triggered to confirm the result. Use the reporting engine to create a certificate of analysis to share with stakeholders.
