Laboratory device connection to a LIMS – useful or unnecessary?
No laboratory can function without laboratory equipment, but its use is often still small-scale, and the backup of results is time-consuming. A LIMS can significantly speed up work processes through the intelligent connection of laboratory equipment, which makes auseful addition to almost any laboratory.
The connection of laboratory devices to a LIMS provides this added value
For example, the laboratory software sends an examination order to the respective laboratory device and the examination is carried out. The test order is then transferred back to the LIMS system together with the result. Such processes automate the workflow in the laboratory and eliminate unnecessary entries. In addition, sources of error can be reduced to a minimum, as errors during manual input, for example, are eliminated.
Uncomplicated device connection thanks to lisa.lim’s interfaces
A good LIMS also includes the connection of existing laboratory devices and their control. lisa.lims integrates perfectly into the IT environment of modern companies via standardized interfaces. This avoids unnecessary data entry and transmission errors, and your data is immediately available in lisa.lims or the external systems. Communication takes place via the exchange of XML files, database links or web services such as interfaces to SAP via RFC, iDOC.
A further step towards Lab 4.0
External laboratory devices are also integrated into lisa.lims via interfaces so that a continuous workflow can be achieved. By connecting and controlling laboratory robots and measuring devices, highly automated solutions can be conveniently implemented using lisa.lims. lisa.lims sends e-mails via the standard SMTP protocol and also communicates with document management systems such as Documentum. Our software ensures the best possible data flow and improved automation in your laboratory, bringing you ever closer to the laboratory of the future. lisa.lims as a service
