Enterprise Lims offers choice of deployment modes
LabWare Lims v6 is the foundation application of the LabWare system, with architecture enabling completely browser-based deployment, or via a thin client model on the Windows platform
This global quality informatics vision will be implemented across many manufacturing sites around the world and will replace numerous installations of legacy Lims and paper-based processes within the current manufacturing facilities.
As envisioned by the customer, the combined solution involves a multi-tiered application infrastructure that includes the VelQuest SmartLab GMP electronic notebook system implemented at the local manufacturing sites and handling all test method execution and instrument data capture operations within the QC and analytical development departments.
The ELN is seamlessly interfaced with a centralised LabWare Lims system that manages all material testing requests coming from SAP and other sources, tracking the overall sample workflow, as well as managing all stability studies and key reporting activities across the enterprise.
"This division of responsibilities between the systems makes a lot of sense for global deployments in multi-national pharmaceutical companies", said Keith Wipprecht, director of pharmaceutical business development for LabWare.
"In large global systems that are deployed to many sites throughout the world, there are key challenges presented by the wide area network when trying to achieve high levels of instrument automation and integration at all of the manufacturing sites.
"The VelQuest SmartLab GMP ELN, that is installed locally, allows it to more effectively communicate with all of the local laboratory instruments and the chromatography data systems. Request a free brochure from LabWare ...
"This minimises the amount of information and traffic that needs to be transmitted over the Wan to and from the enterprise Lims.".
