Market Analysis and Forecast Through 2008
LIMS: Coming Out of the Lab and into the Enterprise
Obsolete hardware platforms and operating systems are inefficient and costly. Keeping pace with changing business needs requires agile partners who can provide flexible solutions that are scaleable to meet future needs. Solutions that provide economies of scale across the enterprise can increase productivity and improve product quality.
The objectives of the organization will define the Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS) requirements and determine the degree of integration between LIMS and Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES). It may be complete integration is required or be as simple as electronically logging samples from the ERP system to the LIMS and updating the system with a disposition. In order to be effective, critical information subsets maintained in ERP and LIMS records must be shared and synchronized, such as sample testing, specification targets and limits, revision numbers, and dates.
The outlook for LIMS is positive as more enterprises seek to improve the management of lab data and make knowledge available for the purpose of increasing productivity. As the number of test samples continues to rise, even the smallest laboratories that are still using paper notebooks will be compelled to automate their information management systems.
