Services

Preliminary phase
Selecting the right lab automation software and vendor can be a hard job. You’ll be making a choice and entering a relationship for years. LIMeS Lab Support can support your lab in this process, and you’ll be prepared well. The services LIMeS supply in this area:

  • Mapping laboratory and adjacent processes
  • Requirements and gap analysis (functional, non-functional, technical, supplier)
  • Support on supplier/software selection
  • Preparation of long/short lists
  • Demo requests
  • Attending demos
  • Supplier assessment
  • Project plan assessment

You will make the final decision, but LIMeS will help you to make this choice better and easier.

Implementation services
After making a final decision for the vendor and software, the actual implementation takes place. The software needs to be aligned with the actual processes in the lab. Although most software is sold as Commercial Off-The-Shelf, it must be configured in almost all cases. Think about, for example, the tests which will be different for each lab. Also, there will be parts of the software which are not in line with the processes on the lab. These needs to be analysed, and solutions must be found (by configuration, customisation or even in some cases by adapting the process to the software). This process of configuring and customizing should not be underestimated. LIMeS can support you with this implementation. The services LIMeS supply in this area:

  • Writing implementation plans
