MAIN BENEFITS FOR QA/QC LABORATORIES
Achieve more with Software Point and LabVantage LIMS
Maximize Traceability
The chain of information from raw materials to the finished product must be tracked. LabVantage includes end-to-end sample and batch management with complete traceability (audit trail) functionality, ensuring enhanced data visibility throughout the entire supply chain.
Efficient Sample Handling in Continuous or Batch Production
LabVantage includes many readymade templates and master data for creating best processes for handling raw-material, in-process and finished product samples for continuous or batch production. Scheduling, sampling planning, skip-lot management, specifications and product information are always easy to update when changes in production are made.
Ensure Operation 24/7 without Interruptions
Production should not be interrupted. Therefore, the information from the laboratory should always be accessible to production. LabVantage is reliable and works without interruptions, just like production. LabVantage’s modern, scalable technical architecture using industry standards makes it a robust solution. LabVantage lets analysts do their jobs faster and makes it easier for IT to support the system.
Access from any Device and Reduce IT Maintenance Costs
LabVantage provides users the ability to access laboratory information from any device (e.g. tablets) using a commercial web browser. LabVantage reduces significantly your IT maintenance costs as LabVantage is a pure HTML5 compliant browser-based system with a zero footprint at the user level and there are no client programs to install and maintain and no applets or plugins to be managed. LabVantage increases technical scalability by using standard Java EE application servers and modern databases.
Achieve Efficiency Through Integrations
Quality control can achieve greater operational efficiencies through integration to instrumentation and systems like ERP, MES and even external systems. LabVantage has inbuilt tools to support standardized integration methods (e.g. web services, REST). We’ve implemented hundreds of integrations and can offer you the best integration services tailored for your organization.
Achieve Fast Result Delivery
Quality control laboratories need to deliver results quickly into production and process control with real-time alarms. In addition, product/material certificates and weekly/monthly statistics reports are needed. LabVantage offers a variety of solutions for delivering results quickly, so that the results generated in laboratory benefit the organization the most.
Enhance Searching and Trending of Data
LabVantage comes with advanced search and trending capabilities providing real-time, easy access and visibility to all laboratory data. LabVantage’s query tools provide real-time, easy access and visibility to all laboratory data. Ad-hoc Query Tool enables to construct and execute queries just by dragging and dropping. Google-type search engine allows looking for data across the system. Dashboards visualize your data and KPI’s. You have flexible searches for various purposes to satisfy your clients, managers and even auditors’ questions.
Automate Routines
In the daily operation of a quality control laboratory there are many routines from sample entry to result delivery that can be automated to increase productivity. LabVantage provides tools based on the best practices in industry to automate routines and schedule activities strengthening your organization’s competitiveness.
Take Care of your Employees
Lab Automation frees up your staff for more productive and enjoyable tasks. Using LabVantage is intuitive and effortless. Navigation is quick and easy. Personal or role-based layouts, pre-searches and bookmarks allow you to go straight to work without hazzle. Sample and other pictures can be directly taken with your device (computer, tablet or mobile) and added to database.
Tell your managers: Staff turnover is reduced with intuitive and user-friendly LabVantage Lab Informatics tools.
