Regular
The industry-specific laboratory solution
By specialising iLIMS to various laboratory sectors, we have enabled the customised use of one of the most modern, flexible and efficient laboratory information and management systems in your laboratory.
For industries in the field of Food, Wine & Beverages, Water & Environment, Testing of Substances & Materials, as well as Pharma, all processes in the respective laboratory can be mapped and managed according to your needs, from the receipt of order right up to the test report/certificate/calibration certificate. In this, iLIMS meets the requirements for touch capability and data entry on mobile end devices as effectively as those for data acquisition with barcodes, RFIDs or data pens. We have developed industry-specific solutions for every industry in accordance with their legal specifications, standards and individual requirements, which will provide your laboratory with the following advantages:
- Mapping and optimisation of your individual laboratory processes
- Designing more efficient workflows including capacity planning for your employees and laboratory equipment
- Better focus of your employees on the actual laboratory activity
- Reducing errors by avoiding manual input of measured values
- Facilitating the search for processed orders
- Simplifying dispatch of test reports or notifications to authorities via integrated interfaces
- Extensive evaluation options for your measurement data
