The LABS/QM of the LABS Suite includes powerful and optimal features to connect any measuring devices and measuring systems directly to QM. In addition, a mobile option for manual acquisition of measurement data is also provided.
ERP is used in numerous chemical/petrochemical and pharmaceutical companies worldwide. However, the ERP PLM QM module does not include any options for a direct connection to the laboratory equipment level. This ensures little acceptance, especially for more extensive investigations (e.g. GC, HPLC, ICP, XRF, etc.) and in the regulated environment. Manual transfer of data from one system to another, causes far too much effort and also increases the error rate. Challenges such as IoT and Industry 4.0 basically require the availability of the complete measurement data incl. raw data.
LABS/QM as middleware offers, among other things, the possibility to record and centrally archive supplementary information, such as the use of all measuring devices employed as well as chemicals with quantity as well as images, evaluations, etc., up to the raw data of the measuring devices. This enables a GxP/FDA-compliant workflow.
Increasing the level of automation in the laboratory through LABS/QM helps to increase the efficiency of the staff and to reduce the costs of the entire laboratory workflow as a result. The LABS Suite includes SAP certified interfaces. These web service-based interfaces can be customized to meet specific requirements through simple configuration.
The LABS/QM middleware can be operated as a standalone solution, but can also be used in the HANA Cloud Platform (HCP) with the HANA database. Especially when using HCP and HANA database, the entire information up to the raw data is available for evaluation.
