Quality production control

Controllo_QUalità_ProduzioneThe LIMS for Industrial Production control is critical to the coordination of activities of Production Quality Control and Laboratory Tests QC Service.

The production automation levels can be represented as follows:

In some cases, the Industrial Companies have chosen to extend the functionality of SW Packages ERP, MRP, etc.. for the recording of test results related to Products Quality Control and Raw Materials.
The mere recording of the results, however, does not offer email support to the workflow of the Laboratory of Quality Control, nor offers comparable functionality to that of a dedicated and specialized software which is a LIMS.

If we add the fact that the quality control requested by end customers require ever more insistently the independence and therefore the Accreditation of Laboratory, choosing a LIMS is essential.

It is obvious that becomes fundamental interconnection between the two environments (Management and LIMS), but the possible solutions are manifold, some of which provide a standardized interface, other achievable with interventions of customization.

Polisystem Informatica, for example, also offers an innovative Web application that enables, with no client-side software installation, interaction Production / Laboratory through direct requests (Web application); sometimes they are adopted automatic Web-based services.

The managed issues mainly concern :

  • The easing of the Acceptance Standards activities in the Laboratory, to avoid manual loading of requests from Production;
  • Verification of congruency between the loaded automatically requests and actually received samples to the Laboratory;
  • The automatic update of Products Quality Control Table as a result of analysis carried out by the laboratory according to the demands of Production.
  • Special management of the limits for each test :
    • in the Laboratory for Test / Product Family.
    • in production for Test / Product / Customer (or Supplier), to manage controls on both the incoming raw materials either to product / semifinished.
