Case Study – Laboratory
Introduction
A valued customer and prominent pharmaceutical company committed to advancing patient health, sought to optimize and streamline their laboratory operations for increased efficiency, time saving and data management. Enter Gallarus who created the new Gallarus product “DataLab” for the customer which is a state-of-the-art real time data platform designed to revolutionize the way you connect, collect, and report lab equipment readings integrating them into your LIMS System. DataLab ensures seamless integration regardless of the manufacturer or model. Say goodbye to the frustration of dealing with incompatible software and complicated setups. DataLab (Part of the Gallarus “Nucleus” suite of products) provides a unified platform to connect all your lab equipment with one easy to implement solution.
Requirements
This $11 billion turnover pharmaceutical company sought Gallarus’ expertise to connect the data from all of their lab equipment, including measurement modules, pH meters, polarimeters and various scales and balancers to a centralized data ecosystem (The Unified NameSpace) . Connecting their LIMS system and creating a seamless data collection and reporting experience was also a bug requirement, saving the laboratory team large amounts of time on manual data collection and reporting. Their existing paper-based processes and manual data entry into the Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) proved time-consuming and needed to connect in real time. Let’s delve into how this cutting-edge solution sparked excellent results and the benefits achieved.
Summary and Benefits
The pharmaceutical company were impressed with speed of deployment of the solution and quality of the data integration.
