Managing a laboratory presents a series of daily challenges that directly impact the efficiency and quality of processes. Even today, many managers deal with manual data entry, resulting in fragmented control, which often boils down to papers and Excel spreadsheets. This antiquated approach not only increases the risk of typing errors, compromising data integrity, but also makes it difficult to track and perform accurate audits. The risk of paper data loss is a constant threat, as is the need for additional time to report results due to integration limitations – both internally within the laboratory and with external systems. Furthermore, the lack of space on benches, tangles of cables and obsolete equipment make the work routine even more challenging. In a scenario where internet connectivity is crucial, laboratory managers face the limitation of systems that only function fully when online, making it difficult to optimize processes and make assertive decisions.
We understand these challenges faced in the laboratory’s daily routine, and with this in mind, LabVantage created a solution to resolve them.
We present the Mobile App IoT, an innovative and indispensable solution for modern laboratories. This mobile app revolutionises the way laboratories handle sample data entry, testing and analysis results. Working online and offline , the Mobile App IoT offers flexibility and mobility, allowing professionals to collect and record data efficiently, even in environments with limited connection .
With the Mobile App IoT, it is possible to record samples from registration to results entry. You register the samples with all the details and save after saving and inserting the electronic signature. Results can be entered using voice commands , OCR camera, IoT integration or typing, providing speed and accuracy in recording information. Additionally, its ability to connect to Bluetooth label printers streamlines the labeling and sample tracking process. It is compatible with smartphones, tablets and even Augmented Reality smart glasses , offering versatility in different laboratory environments.
This innovative mobile application is especially useful for dynamic laboratories, such as those in the areas of Pharmaceuticals, Biotechnology, Food and Beverages, Oil and Energy, Clinics and Hospitals, Forensics, Agriculture, Environment and Mining. With specific features, such as offline and online data capture, integration with LIMS, ERP, CRM systems and even the ability to integrate with laboratory equipment with the help of IoT devices offline, the Mobile App IoT simplifies and optimises workflows, resulting in significant cost savings of up to 30% – 40%*.
One of the largest state-owned companies in Brazil had problems with data productivity and reliability due to the high volume of data that was still collected manually. The challenge was to optimise analysts’ time, while ensuring information security.
The technology brought a transformation to the laboratory that made Petrobras Fluids Laboratory Sector Manager Alex Sardinha expand his future perspective for all areas of onshore and offshore laboratories:
“ The vision of the future and potential is to apply this technology in all laboratories in the onshore and offshore area. We have laboratories in land units and on more than 50 platforms, there is a variety of equipment from different suppliers, we have more than 4 thousand pieces of equipment that can be integrated with the IoT device”.
