This series of complimentary seminars explores the challenges facing the process industry today and gives examples of world class organizations enhancing productivity in the laboratory and reducing costs, ultimately improving their competitiveness in the global market. You will see how Laboratory Informatics solutions can eliminate bottlenecks in the lab caused by manual entry of instrument result data, as well as improving quality of data by avoiding manual transcription errors.

Understand the benefits of integrating offline data from the lab with online data from PIMS and financial/accounting data from ERP, creating a unified solution to speed generation of Certificates of Analysis and reduce the time to release product to market. Highlighted also will be tools for improving laboratory processes and optimizing resource allocation, though focus on Activity Based Costing techniques and Key Performance Indicators.

The seminars are hosted by PlantVision, a leading solutions provider for Laboratory Informatics and Manufacturing execution solutions in Scandinavia, and Thermo Electron, suppliers of SampleManager, the world's most widely deployed LIMS for the Process Industries. Take this opportunity to meet with your industry colleagues, exchange best practices, and learn how these solutions can help achieve substantial and measurable benefits within your business.
