LIMS for the nuclear industry
The Matrix Gemini Rutherford LIMS software from Autoscribe supports workflows for waste management, district survey, gaseous discharge and liquid discharge for the nuclear industry.
In particular this is a requirement for many regulatory controlled industries such as the pharmaceutical industry.
The Process Step Manager option allows groups of checks to be applied to a sample and that these checks be completed in a specific order.
As part of this option, there is a Process status viewer that provides a detailed, graphic display of the current status of selected samples and checks.
The graphical display is updated in real time as process steps are completed at intervals determined by the user.
Matrix Process Step Management functionality can also be made available as a stand-alone product for applications not connected to LIMS.
For example, a hardware manufacturer may have a procedure for checking a product at several stages of the production line process.
These checks can be defined in Process Step Manager with the order in which they must be implemented.
At each check or step an operator can be prompted to enter a value eg amount of reagent added; voltage check on hardware item and this value can be compared to expected or allowable limits.
Any exceptions will be immediately highlighted and the process halted at that step until such time that an error has been corrected.
Process Step Manager is very highly configurable and can be adapted for use in a wide variety of applications.
The product also allows for full traceability, location tracking, use of barcodes, auditing and version control.
If you have a need to track entities or events, Process Step Manager may be the answer. Request a free brochure from Autoscribe ...
